Mariah Carey's Dramatic Weight Loss Because Of 'Purple Diet' Or Surgery?

Many fans have noticed Mariah Carey's dramatic weight loss recently. Did she went on a "purple diet" once again?

"Mariah Carey looked like a goddess at the 2016 UNICEF Ball Jan. 12, where she showcased her 45-pound weight loss," Examiner.com reported. "Mariah wore a glamorous strapless gown with a plunging neckline that spotlighted her newly slender body."

It has been previously reported that the "My All" singer has given her all to a weight loss regimen called the "purple diet."

"The purple diet, which advocates eating only lilac foods, is the hottest foodie trend in the U.S and is making its way to British shores in time for summer," Daily Mail previously reported. "And it really is as simple as it sounds; you can eat as much purple-coloured food - such as purple potatoes, lilac cauliflower and magenta carrots - as you wish."

Has Mariah Carey grown tired of sticking to her weight loss diet and waiting for "One Sweet Day," when the pounds would finally come off?

According to previous rumors, the singer has purportedly given up on her weight loss diet and resorted to undergoing a gastric bypass surgery. But what does James Packer have to say about his girlfriend going under the knife for weight loss? According to rumors, the billionaire doesn't mind and is even allegedly willing to pay for Carey's gastric bypass surgery.

"Mariah's boyfriend James actually underwent the weight-loss surgery a few years ago - and he swears by its success rate," Celeb Dirty Laundry reported. "The wealthy billionaire actually is the person who convinced Mariah to undergo the surgery, and has even offered to pay for it and help nurse her back to health afterwards."

The "We Belong Together" singer purportedly thinks that a surgery might be her best bet in losing the extra pounds and keeping them away for good.

"Despite what she has been trying to portray with Spanx and Photoshop, the singer's size has been steadily increasing over the years," Star Magazine previously reported. "And it was her billionaire boyfriend who put the idea in her ear since he himself lost more than 75 pounds from the procedure in 2011. James said that the surgery hasn't been a cure-all, but it has definitely helped keep his weight from spiraling out of control."

As of press time, Mariah Carey has yet to confirm if her weight loss is because of her diet or surgery.
