Lady Gaga blames 25lb weight gain on dad's restaurant

Lady Gaga says her father’s cooking is the reason behind her new fuller figure.

The 26-year-old singer's dad Joe Germanotta owns a New York restaurant, and his superstar daughter says that after gaining 25lbs, she will be steering clear of the eatery.

Gaga has been looking sexy since putting on some pounds but admits while she doesn't feel 'bad' about her new shape, she wants to be more conscious of what she is eating.

“I love eating pasta and pizza. I’m a New York Italian girl. That’s why I have been staying out of New York. My father opened a restaurant. It's so amazing,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling radio host Elvis Duran.

“It’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I’m, like, I’ve got to go where I can drink green juice.

“I really don’t feel bad about it, not even for a second. I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It’s hard because it’s a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don’t like that. So I’m trying to find a new balance,” she added.
