Nick Cannon placed on diet
Nick Cannon The host of television show America’s Got Talent was taken to hospital a fortnight ago suffering from minor kidney failure, which the 31-year-old said came about because of the medication he was on, a shortfall of proper nourishment and from too much protein.
However, while being well down the road to a full recovery, Cannon has taken the decision to completely change his eating habits.
He said: “I’m feeling good, I’m in the office, I’m grinding, the only thing that sucks is that I’m on the renal diet.
“It’s all about healthy living and fuelling your system, but I don’t get to eat the things that I like to eat. You have got to stay hydrated and eat fruits and vegetables for breakfast.”
While talking about having to cut out his favourite cereal, Lucky Charms, by replacing it with oatmeal, a frustrated Cannon continued: “Not even the good oatmeal. Real oats, like horse-feed stuff. But it’s cool – I’ve got to start to love it.”
Cannon – who has two kids, eight-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, with pop singer wife Mariah Carey – should gradually relax his severe diet over time, although right now he has turned to spicy sauce in an attempt to make his food more palatable.
He spoke to MTV News, saying: “Right now I’m still on the strict diet and I can’t have any sodium, but as a couple of weeks go by and everything gets levelled out, then I can start having low sodium.
“I can still have Tabasco sauce, so I’m excited about that because I love hot sauce. I’ll be putting Tabasco sauce on carrots, like, ‘This tastes delicious!’”
