Demi Lovato: “Eating vegan and raw has made me feel better”

Demi Lovato says maintaining a vegan-inspired diet has helped her "feel better" about herself.

The singer told Extra that she is allergic to gluten and dairy so often aligns herself to veganism, which involves abstaining from the use of animal products.

The addition of raw food also helps the US star to keep healthy.

However, Lovato admitted that some occasions might encourage her to go back to more unhealthy food - such as dinner with the US President.

Lovato said: "I try to eat raw food whenever possible. I don’t eat it all the time just because I’m the type of person that if I do something, if I go all one way, I get burnt out... I’m gluten-free and dairy-free because I’m allergic to them. I just eat vegan and raw as much as possible and it's really changed my body and made me feel better.

"But you kind of can’t turn down pizza that Robert Rodriguez handmade - and that you are also eating with the President."
