As long as you&#8217;re sensible about it, it doesn&#8217;t shoot your blood sugar up. But what I crave is chocolate and ice cream &#8211; I can&#8217;t have any ice cream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Elton revealed that his dream meal would still be full of sugar-filled desserts.<\/p>\n<p>The award-winning star &#8211; who is married to filmmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/david-furnish\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,david-furnish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Furnish<\/a> &#8211; said: &#8220;If I had a death row meal, it wouldn&#8217;t contain anything except sweets, because I can&#8217;t eat them now. So, I&#8217;d have ice cream, doughnuts, apple pie, rhubarb crumble.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nElton has battled various health issues over the years, including having surgery for prostate cancer and being left with limited vision in one eye after battling a &#8220;severe eye infection&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nElton said in an Instagram post in September: &#8220;Over the summer, I&#8217;ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye. I am healing, but it&#8217;s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks. I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;With love and gratitude, <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Elton John.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/sir-elton-john-changed-diet-following-health-scare-1408957.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 November 2024 Sir Elton John has overhauled his diet after suffering a health scare.
