Christina Aguilera banned "dairy and carbs" from her diet to lose weight.
The 32-year-old star had a number of small meals throughout the day, avoided dairy and carbohydrates products - both of which provide energy - in addition to doing "energy training" to slim down.
"Her diet plans has been built around very small portions and very high energy training for short periods of time, but frequently. Banned are dairy and carbs. On the agenda is a lot of coconut water, herbal teas, tofu, celery, oily fish and small amounts of low fat cheese. But the major key to this is only hand size portions of every meal and five small meals a day," a source said.
Christina's weight loss became apparent at the start of this year and her new figure helps increases her confidence. "Her body is hugely important to her and it's one of the ways she gets her confidence - so being overweight was something she was never going to live with," the insider added.

Christina Aguilera Wants to Empower Women

Christina Aguilera hopes her curvy figure will "empower" women. The 31-year-old "Your Body" singer - who has attracted a huge amount of publicity for her current weight - insists she is comfortable in her own skin and hopes her struggle will "empower" other women.
"I'm always in support of someone who is willing and comfortable in their own skin enough to embrace it. Embracing your body is so important, especially as a woman. In this business we are so analysed and judged. It's wonderful to be in a position and have that side of myself that I can latch on to and empower other women. The older you get, the more important it is to embrace your body and your sexuality."
The Voice judge also opened up about her four-year-old son Max and the pressures of juggling motherhood and her career: "I can wear different hats - for example, the artist hat. When I'm on that stage and I've been in the wardrobe getting dressed up to play a character, I am living out a specific moment in a song. That hat is very different to the one I wear when I go home at night and I tuck my son in and I'm singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. It's a crazy thing, it's an interesting road he has ahead of him, but as I said, I try to keep all the different hats I wear very different so that Mummy's hat is very different from party hat. It's a real balancing act for me."
Christina Aguilera Forced to Be Thin

Christina Aguilera once felt forced to be a tiny size zero.
The "Your Body" singer - who has been criticized for her curvier figure recently - has opened up about the pressure to be thin in the music industry and claims her record company once staged an intervention to get her to lose weight.
The 31-year-old The Voice judge told Billboard magazine, "During the promotion of my album Stripped, I got tired of being a skinny, white girl. I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl. The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercings. Let me tell you, that wasn't an easy pill for them to swallow. I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my Stripped tour. They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would affect a lot of people if I gained weight -- the production, musical directors. [They claimed] people I toured with would also miss out if I gained weight because I would sell no records or tickets for my shows. I was young, so I lost the weight quickly and was toothpick thin during Back to Basics promos and touring."

Christina Aguilera is Proud of Her Body
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
The pop star - who shot to fame after starring on the The Mickey Mouse Club in 1993 - has had a more curvaceous body in recent years since the birth of her son Max in January 2008 but she insists she enjoys having a more bountiful body to work with.
Speaking to Lucky magazine's October issue about her new fuller figure, she said, "Actually, the challenge I've always had is being too thin, so I love that now I have a booty, and obviously I love showing my cleavage."
Christina - who had Max with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman - also urged other curvaceous women to be proud of their bodies: "Hey, if you can work it and you can own it, that confidence is going to shine through."
