Tanya Sweeney: How genuine is Christina Aguilera’s ‘I love my curves’ line now that she’s just lost 40lbs?

The singer looked dramatically thinner as she kicked off her Vegas residency, but does that mean her previous body positivity message wasn’t legit?

It takes a lot these days to stand out amid the glut of Las Vegas residency stars, but Christina Aguilera managed just fine when she kicked off her own residency earlier this week.

Aguilera (43), was eye-catching on stage in a succession of basques and corsets, showcasing what the media have reported as a 40-pound weight loss. According to Health magazine, Aguilera has been dedicating herself to a healthy diet and rigorous exercise regime of late. The Daily Mail has reported that Aguilera has restricted her food intake to 1,600 calories and is a fan of the Rainbow Diet, a plant-rich regime, while InTouch Weekly estimates that she is working out up to five times a week with celebrity fitness coach Tee Sorge.
