Last fall, the aforementioned source dished to Life & Style regarding Carey's viral photoshoot released then: "Mariah is super excited about the campaign. She loves seeing herself looking sexy on all the posters."

The insider went on: "Mariah hates exercising, so some people think that she’s been getting weight loss injections, but others claim she’s actually changed her eating habits, cutting out fried foods and sugary drinks. Whatever Mariah’s doing, she looks better today than ever before ."

In 2016, the "We Belong Together" hitmaker chatted with E! News about her diet and what foods she prioritizes. "It’s really hard. My diet, you would hate it. All you eat is Norwegian salmon and capers every day. That’s it," Carey revealed.

According to a source close to the "Obsessed" artist, who spoke with Hollywood Life in 2020, Carey has taken steps to "almost completely" remove processed sugars from her diet and has made significant progress in doing so.

But does Carey really only salmon and capers every single day? "She has cut out chocolate and other sweets, and when she has cravings, she eats little pieces of fruit, like some blueberries or mangos," the insider told the publication.

They added that Carey is "working out regularly and eating clean, whole foods with a focus on vegetables. She has also cut out carbs and bread." (Whatever works!)

Carey's 2024 residency, The Celebration of Mimi , will continue with a series of upcoming shows on July 26, 27, 31 and August 2, 3, 7, and 9, culminating in a final performance on August 10th.
