The 35-year-old artist — who shares a 16-year-old daughter named Casie with his ex, Emma Cannon, and a 4-month-old baby named Saga with his partner Megan Fox — casually admitted that he doesn’t “really eat.”

“I don’t really eat. I just do water a bunch,” he shared on a recent Kick livestream with Adin Ross, before clarifying that he fasts. “Like, I ate that burger ’cause we’re streaming,” he said, to which one of the men in the group asked, “OK, if we weren’t streaming, what would you have had for dinner?” MGK replied, “Probably water.”

When asked if he ever felt “weak or lightheaded,” MGK replied, “Yeah, sometimes. I’ll eat, like, a couple times a week.”

The artist then detailed exactly what types of foods he has when he does eat, which include “bone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut.” He later explained that he opts to have these foods because they have “probiotics,” sharing, “When you do those water fasts, the only thing that’s crazy is it kills all the good bacteria in you, too, so you gotta put the pro[biotics].”

While sauerkraut and kimchi are indeed fermented foods rich in probiotics, which promote healthy gut bacteria, the diet MGK described is not nutritionally complete, given that it lacks things like sufficient calories, protein, and healthy fats.
“I’ll drink celery juice sometimes. Coconut water,” he added, before sharing that he also frequently has “coffee and cigarettes.”

While this clip of MGK detailing his diet was shared a month ago, it has recently started picking up steam online, with several users expressing their concern.
“Imagine smoking cigarettes while explaining how you don’t want to put bad shit into your body,” one comment on Instagram read, while someone else echoed, “He lost me when he said he water fasts but he smokes cigarettes.”
