Usher reveals why he doesn’t eat on Wednesdays as he shares bizarre habits

From midnight snacks to peculiar food combos - most of us have probably picked up some pretty unique eating habits over the years.

And it's clear Usher, who performed at the Super Bowl half-time show back in February, is no different after revealing exactly why he doesn’t eat on Wednesdays as he shares his bizarre weekly habits.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, the Grammy award-winning musician discussed what his morning and nighttime routines look like.

Usher shared that he starts the day trying to 'wake up early enough to have a moment of reflection', adding: "Some days I may grab a book and read to stimulate my mind. I may sit quietly and meditate.

"One thing that is a frequent practice is yoga. It really does help to activate my organs and get my mind moving in the right direction."

When asked if he dabbles in coffee - a key part of my morning routine - Usher explained that it all depends on how he's ended the night before.

"Sometimes a coffee martini is appropriate," he joked, before explaining: "No, typically I wake up and drink celery juice. I’ve been doing this concoction of lemon, ginger, water and cayenne pepper. I drink it hot."

Well, that beats my instant coffee and Marmite toast while I'm running out the door...

And as for breakfast?

Well, the 'DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love' hit-maker revealed: "I sometimes eat eggs scrambled with cheese.

"For the most part, I like them poached or over easy. But I don’t like to eat breakfast before I’ve worked out or done something physical: taking a walk, stretching or doing yoga, sitting in the sun and raising my body’s natural heat levels. Then I eat."

And, when asked if this eating ritual was part of some kind of 'intermittent fasting' routine, Usher confirmed that he does in fact fast - but not for 'religious purposes'.

"It’s something my grandmother practiced," he continued. "I fast on Wednesdays. I typically try to start around 11 pm the previous day, then go the entire day on Wednesday just drinking water."

And what about exercise?

Well, the 45-year-old is clearly in great shape following his Super Bowl performance - calling it the 'hardest 15 minutes' that he'll 'ever have' in his life.

"Being able to go after it the way that I needed to do - vocally, energetically, spiritually and physically - it did call for me to consistently work out every day," Usher finished up. "I didn’t really have the time to do a lot of other things. I was remedying my body the night before and waking up the next day and eating a very regimented, low-carb diet."
