That's one of the reasons I retired," Sharapova jokes about her diet

Maria Sharapova made an appearance on the show *Hot Ones*, giving the Russian star a chance to reflect on many moments from her career.

She notably discussed her diet during her playing days, a very negative aspect for her due to the restrictions. She stated: "I think that’s one of the reasons I left the sport (laughs).

There was nothing else to do but sit in a gym or an empty locker room, with a white plate covered in aluminum foil in front of you, wondering, ‘What’s in here?’

And it was just plain steamed white rice with a little salt and very dry chicken. And carrots, also steamed. I think I’d rather eat ten really spicy chicken wings than have that again.
