Mariah Carey could never diet.

The 'Hero' singer - whose weight has fluctuated in the past - admits she is prone to piling on the pounds but says she could never deny herself her favourite foods.

She said: "I'm very muscular. So I mustn't lift weights. I should rather go swimming or do pilates. And of course I should stick to a diet. But I don't want to do that. I'm always on the go. What could I eat and how would I be able to follow a diet?"

It's society's fault. We grow up with these magazines which are full of size zero models. But people are just people. It's about personal qualities.

Mariah, 40, also says she would never want to be a size zero and thinks there is too much pressure placed on young girls to be unhealthily skinny.

She told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag: "It's society's fault. We grow up with these magazines which are full of size zero models. But people are just people. It's about personal qualities."

"I don't want to be a size zero. And also, I couldn't be one. My bones would look very ugly. I am the happiest when my curvy parts fit into a US size six."
