Britney Spears spends $22,000 a month to get back in shape



According to the Daily Mail, Britney Spears has spent (what most people would consider) a fortune to get her physique back in shape. Brit packed on the pounds over the last two years. Not only did she give birth to two babies in rapid succession, but she also stopped her vigorous concert touring, which involved a ton of dancing.

On top of that she was on a lot of heavy duty medication for what a lot of outlets claim is bipolar disorder – and the vast majority of those meds can lead to serious weight gain, especially in the belly and upper half of the body.

The mother-of-two, who eagerly showed off her slimmed down bikini body during a trip to Mexico over the weekend, is back to 9st [126 lbs] after the stress of her custody battle saw her tip the scales at 10st 4lbs [144 lbs]. Her expensive heath make-over included £5,000-a-month on a nutritionist and diet supplements, £4,000 on a personal trainer and £2,000 on a private dance choreographer.

A source was quoted in Closer magazine as saying: 'She limits herself to 1400 calories a day with one 'cheat day' where she'll treat herself. She also changed the way she eats, trying to have only two thirds of what is on her plate. It's all about portion control and fresh food now. And lots of water in place of Red Bull.'

She has also taken on some of Victoria Beckham's diet tips, eating plenty of steamed fish and snacking on edamame beans… Now, says the insider: 'Britney is so proud of herself because her ab muscles are back'. She's feeling better than she has in ages.'

Britney has clearly made a serious commitment to changing her life. Most of us would never be able to afford such help. But since she’s got the money, I can think of few better things to spend it on than improving her health. It seems like her self esteem has risen considerably, and that benefits her mental health, which is good not just for Britney but for her sons. Perhaps the last few years will give her some perspective on life, and make her really appreciate what’s she’s got. She’s worked pretty damn hard for it.
