Cheryl Cole 'given new diet plan'

Cheryl Cole has reportedly changed her diet because it was lacking protein.

Doctors allegedly told the singer to alter what she eats because the food she was having had been "terrible".

A source told Now: "Before she got sick, Cheryl's diet was terrible.

"She used to skip meals and was so busy with work that she never had time to think about food, she'd even smoke instead of eating."

They added: "Cheryl's doctor told her that she needs a lot more protein, which is a challenge for her as she's basically a vegetarian.

"But she does eat fish, so she's been eating a lot of that - and vegetable risotto is also a current favourite."
