Jenny McCarthy Says She 'Almost Died' Trying a Vegan Diet
Jenny McCarthy is being transparent about her health scare after going vegan.
The 52-year-old Masked Singer judge revealed that she “almost died” after switching to a plant-based diet on a recent episode of the Heal Squad x Maria Menounos podcast.
“I literally almost died. I became so ill. I was exhausted and fatigued. I was a mess,” she said.

Jenny explained that her celiac disease and soy allergy aggravated the issue for her, making it extremely difficult for her to get adequate nutrition.
The model then said her symptoms started alleviating once she began eating meat again, per the advice of her doctor.
However, Jenny also emphasized that certain diets affect everyone differently.
“It’s what you believe and you have to follow your intuition and then also follow what your blood says or what your body says. Your body will let you know, by the way,” she said.
