In the land of Hollywood, when a slim transformation takes place, fans and media are always asking questions. In the case of Celine Dion, her transformation has become a hot topic, especially given how much she has thinned out over the years.
It turned into a cause for concern when Dion was forced to cancel concerts, as fans linked it to her changing look.
Throughout the article, we'll take a look at what the media has said about Dion's transformation while assessing exactly what the singer is doing in both the kitchen and in the gym.
As we'll reveal, she doesn't necessarily follow a strict diet, though she has a hefty schedule when it comes to workouts, which includes a variety of exercise formats.
The Media Is Skeptical About Celine Dion's Extreme Transformation
Of course, once Celine Dion's new look was revealed, the media went off completely, dissecting every little thing. Rumors started to come out, that Dion was canceling shows due to her complete fatigue and exhaustion from working out seven days a week, along with her dance schedule.
"Her diet is dreadful," a source told the newspaper, "she works out with trainers seven days a week and does endless hours of dance," according to the Music Times.
Rumors would also suggest that Celine was suffering from muscle spasms along with dehydration, all because of a tough diet, matched with over-training.
Despite the rumors, the legendary singer would never confirm such news, instead of calling her lifestyle a completely healthy one.
She would also discuss what courage meant to her, during an interview with CBC when the times get tough.
"I would say when something bad happens to you in life, you have to find a way to overcome these obstacles and find a way to find inner strength. To say, that's part of life, this is not something that you choose. This is something that is imposed on you by life. It's up to you to go through these obstacles."
Some inspiring words by Celine, who has gone through the toughest of times throughout her lifetime.
Celine Dion Doesn't Follow A Strict Diet But Reveals That She Has A Fast Metabolism
Given her new look, fans and the media often think that Celine Dion is starving herself behind the scenes. However, as the star revealed alongside Live Strong, that is not the case.
According to the legend, her thinner look has a lot to do with her metabolism.
"People think I'm starving myself, that I don't eat, that I exercise all the time. It's not true," she insisted to Rachael Ray in 2009. "My father, my brothers, and sisters — they were all very thin."
Dion would also reveal what she eats on a daily basis, and it doesn't seem to be a structured diet.
She'll start off the day with a French-style breakfast, enjoying a cup of coffee, flanked by a croissant, which would be a dream for dieters to consume on a regular basis.
Snack-wise, however, Celine likes to keep things clean, especially when she's on the road. Among her usual, rider demands include fresh fruits, such as pineapple, melon, and cherries - as long as whatever she's eating is fresh tasting.
As for dinner, it'll usually consist of meat pies, flanked by veggies. She also has her children in mind when it is time for supper. In terms of cravings, Dion loves to indulge in some fries from time to time.
Celine Dion Keeps Very Active Through Stretching And Barre
Dion has stated that taking care of twins is a big reason for falling back in shape quickly.
Though something she is very big on is stretching.
"I start on the stationary bike," she revealed to Elle. "Then, I lie on my stomach on a massage table, pushing into my palms or elbows to tone my shoulder blades in order to hold my neck — which is very long — while I sing. My physiotherapist makes sure my spine is aligned and that my shoulder blades aren't stuck together."
Dion also took an interest in barre, hitting what she describes as improv types of workouts four times a week. She calls it hard work but very rewarding, given that she's working a lot.
At the age of 53, the iconic singer is showing no signs of slowing down, feeling her best, despite with the fans and media have said in the recent years.
