USHER - CARROTS CUT FROM USHER'S STRICT DIET

R+B hunk USHER's diet for his current North American tour is so strict, he's not even allowed to eat carrots or corn.

While the 25-year-old YEAH! singer is allowed to enjoy a range of other vegetables, sugary carrots and starchy corn are definitely off the list.

He says, "I have a nutritionist, and I keep to a very strict diet. You know, I take vitamins, ginseng and echinacea.

"Normally it's chicken, fish - and sometimes, sometimes, maybe on an off day, beef. But mainly on this tour I'll be doing chicken, fish, light fruit, something like maybe cantaloupe or watermelon.

"Salads, dark salads, not light salads like your romaine lettuce, but a mixed green salad, something like that. Spinach, no carrots, no corn. As I said, a very strict."
