text: He may be the fastest man on the planet, but Usain Bolt has made no secret of his love for chicken nuggets, KFC hot wings, Pringles crisps and a pint of Guinness. But now the Jamaican sprinter has had to lay off his beloved fast food and eat a 'lot more vegetables', despite confessing that 'he hates them all'. And it is his chef who is entrusted with the unenviable task of chasing him round the house to check he is eating his greens. Cutting back: Usain Bolt said he has had to lay off his beloved fast food and eat vegetables instead . 'I haven't had KFC for about four months, which is killing me', the 28-year-old sprinter said in an interview with Runner's World. 'I've tried to bribe my chef but not only is he not bribeable, he chases me around the house and makes sure I eat what he's cooked. 'He also lays out my vitamin pills and supplements in front of me so I can't "forget" to take them. 'I eat a lot more vegetables - and I hate them all. I used to eat them occasionally, but now with every meal I have a plate just for veg. But I can't get away any more with just winging it. 'To perform how I want I have to be perfect in training - and eating right is a part of training - so down it goes.' He added:  'I've backed off hard liquor too - rum and that stuff - but I still drink Guinness, or a Heineken or two. A guy's got to have something, right.' Perfection: The sprinter said that he needs to be 'perfect in training' and 'eating right is a part of training' Showman: The Jamaican has always been notorious for his unhealthy diet and love of fast food . Bolt, who won gold with an Olympic record of 9.63 at London 2012, admitted eating a McDonald's wrap on the morning of the race, as well as 'some hash browns, rice and pork.' He also consumed 1,000 McNuggets as he set three world records at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, earning three gold medals. Bolt, 28, is not the only athlete who has confessed to having an unhealthy diet. Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time with 22 medals, enjoyed a staggering 12,000 calorie breakfast diet. This included three fried egg sandwiches, with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, fried onions and mayonnaise; a five-egg omelette, three sugar-coated slices of French toast, and bowl of grits, two cups of coffee and three chocolate chip pancakes. Elsewhere in the interview, Bolt said Tyson Gay should have been given a longer ban for drugs cheating and branded the decision to shorten his punishment 'the stupidest thing I've ever heard'. Gay had his suspension reduced after he agreed to co-operate with authorities, and is now set to compete against Bolt after returning to the sport. The interview with Usain Bolt appears in the May issue of Runner's World.
