"It's really hard... my diet, you would hate it," Carey told E! News while promoting her upcoming reality TV show. "All you eat is Norwegian salmon and capers every day. That's it."

"I'm actually serious," she added. "I try to stick with the proteins. It's the worst."

Carey was responding to a question about how she prepares for some of the sexy looks she wears in "Mariah's World," her new E! show that's billed as an eight-part docuseries and follows the singer's life on and off stage.
