Mariah Carey has blasted the size zero craze and is urging women to “embrace” their natural physiques. The Hero hitmaker, who unveiled a svelte new look at VH1′s Save the Music gala in New York on Thursday, admits to living on a “bleak diet” to maintain her figure.

But Carey, 37, vows never to starve herself to become a “stick figure girl”.

Carey says, “My secret is bleak diets, I still feel like I have a way to go. 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.”

She’s right, not everyone will be a size zero and it doesn’t really mean everyone should be a size zero to look good.
