And to criticism in her address, she invariably replied that she was not going to lose weight.
“I was always too skinny, and now I enjoy the fact that I have prominent body parts, such as thighs and breasts,” said Aguilera in an interview in 2012. – I love to show my cleavage. If you like to be like that, then you should just shine with self-confidence. “

Christina began to fight the gained pounds in all directions, and the first thing that underwent changes was the star’s diet. Aguilera opted for the so-called “home delivery diet,” in which food, hand-picked by professional nutritionists, is brought home three times a day. The menu is varied, but strictly limited in the number of kilocalories; in the case of Aguilera, the daily allowance is only 1600 kcal.
By the way, in Russia you can also order dietary products to your home, several companies are already engaged in this.
As for Christina Aguilera, her diet cannot be called tough. Rather, the singer switched to healthy foods. So, for breakfast, Christina eats half an avocado, some turkey and blueberries. The singer’s lunch consists of celery with almond oil, while dinner is made up of chicken or fish. When visiting restaurants, she orders her favorite tuna salad and can sometimes afford a glass of wine.
According to the star, the main reason for such an amazing result was not only a careful selection of products, but a new nutritional system as a whole: for example, the portion size should not exceed the volume that fits in the hand, but you need to eat at least five times a day. “Christina has been refreshed and rejuvenated this season,” a spokesman for Aguilera commented. – She really began to watch herself very closely and seems to be really happy inside. And this is noticeable! “
Christina Aguilera’s secret weight loss: fitness program
However, in the battle with extra pounds, only food restrictions are not enough, so the singer has become a frequent visitor to the gym. Regular workouts led by personal trainer T Sorge are part of a must-have program for the day. Aguilera focused on strength classes, which she alternates with yoga.
As a rule, the lesson begins with walking or jogging on a treadmill, after which the pop diva begins to work on triceps and biceps. To work out these muscles, the singer works with dumbbells weighing from 2 to 9 kilograms. Then she does abdominal exercises, does a lot of push-ups and squats at least 350 times. But the most important thing, according to Christina, is the regularity: the star is engaged at least five times a week. With all his passion for fitness and caring for his own figure, Aguilera does not seek to spend all his free time on simulators. “If I had to choose whether to go to workout or spend time with my son after a hard day at work, I would not even think about it,” Christina admitted in an interview with Redbook magazine. In the first place for the pop singer is the family.
Of course, the rapid transformation of Aguilera caused a lot of rumors: the singer’s weight loss began to be regarded as a quality work of plastic surgeons. At the same time, it is not banal liposuction that is mentioned, but laparoscopic gastric banding (installation of the so-called “gastric ring”), due to which the volume of food consumed is sharply reduced, the amount of calories consumed decreases and the body begins to rebuild to burn fat. The result is fast and effective weight loss.
The singer refutes these speculations. She explains the incredible speed of her transformation by an exceptionally healthy lifestyle: many hours of training, a strict diet and a variety of skincare procedures.
“My body is extremely important to me,” Aguilera shared her thoughts in an interview. “This is one aspect that gives me confidence, so being overweight is something I will never live with.”
