Did Miley Cyrus really spend $50,000 to lose fifteen pounds in a few weeks?

Last week after the People’s Choice Awards, Kaiser took special note of what a damn sexy couple Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth made together. Indeed, they looked good as always, but Miley seemed well, different. Upgraded, perhaps. It was a subtle difference but noticeable if one looks at the above photo comparison between 12/10 and 1/11. Miley was no longer hiding under a bulky gown, her boobs seemed smaller, and her arms looked more toned up than they previously did. According to In Touch, this was a very deliberate change, for Miley went on a pre-holidays crash diet and exercise program to lose weight for a beach vacation with Liam. Through the magic of a chef, nutritionist, and personal trainer, Miley quickly lost 15 pounds but did so at very significant monetary expense:

It was hard not to notice Miley Cyrus’ pared-down physique at the January 11 People’s Choice awards. According to a pal, the teen — who packed on the pounds late last year — enlisted the help of a nutritionist, chef and her old personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, to whip herself into bikini-ready shape ahead of her recent Hawaiian getaway with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. “Miley probably spent $50,000 to lose 15 pounds in a few weeks,” the pal tells In Touch. “She didn’t care what it cost as long as she looked good!”

So was it worth all of that money to lose weight so quickly when normal civilians like myself sweat it out for several months at the gym and come up with the same results? Miley probably didn’t even blink an eye at spending $50,000, since she’s reportedly worth $120 million (the Hannah Montana franchise itself reached upwards of $1 billion in sales). The thing is, Miley wasn’t big to begin with. Sure, she gained a little weight after leaving her Disney show and heading into the age bracket where most people gain a few pounds anyway. The end result for Miley was that face looked a little rounder, and the girls were more noticeable in these photo from 12/8 and 12/1:

Here’s a few photos from early November of last year, where she looks a little puffy, but I figured she just had the pot munchies. Not everyone can get away with smoking weed and staying svelte in manner of Rihanna:

Last year on 8/27, Miley was definitely covering up her figure, so it must have bothered her to some extent:

And here’s a side view of Miley at the People’s Choice Awards. That $50,000 was somewhat well spent, but she could’ve done it for free in just a little more time.
