Mariah CareyMariah Carey has revealed her secret for getting into shape - eating bland food and flying in a physical training from the Caribbean.

Mariah showed off her new slimmer physique at a VH1 event last week and explained: “My secret is bleak diets, basically soups and fish prepared really blandly.”

“I have a wonderful trainer whose name is Patricia, she lives in St Barts, poor girl.”

“People say to me: ‘Only you would fly someone from St Barts to New York to work out.’ We do water aerobics mostly.”

But she has no intention of taking her weight loss much further: “I don’t feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically.”

“I’m not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It’s just not me.”
