Jennifer Lopez goes vegan

Superstar Jennifer Lopez is singing the praises of her new vegan diet, crediting the healthy lifestyle with giving her a big energy boost.

The On the Floor hitmaker, who has previously experimented with vegetarianism, reveals she recently overhauled her diet and although there's one creamy spread she misses, she insists she has never felt better.

She tells New York's Z100 radio station, "Being vegan, it's basically no diary, no meat, everything is plant based and from the ground. Butter is the one thing I miss!

"You do feel better. I do recommend the vegan diet because you wake up and feel great!"

Lopez, 44, is the latest celebrity to turn her back on all animal-related food products - British singer Ellie Goulding and House of Cards actress Kate Mara are both also new vegans.
