When celebrities get themselves in fabulous shape, I'm always curious to know what they attribute their success to. And while Mariah Carey could probably do a little better at dressing her curves (we know you're fit, Mimi -- you don't have to wear everything like it's painted on!), there's no doubt that her body looks fabulous. And she credits artichokes.

You probably already know that artichokes are a fabulous food choice, and there are a number of easy ways to prepare them. The thing that really helped Mariah, though, was the fact that they're so rich in fiber, meaning she felt fuller and snacked less.

Mariah also credited exercise with her sleek physique, though after seeing her toss a first pitch earlier this year at a Giants' game, I have a hard time picturing her sweating it up at the gym! Regardless, the girl looks fabulous, and if eating artichokes helped her get there, I'm picking some up at the grocery store tonight!
