Los Angeles, Sep 21 : Singer Lady Gaga blames the delicious food at her father's restaurant for her recent weight gain.

"My father opened a restaurant. It's so amazing... it's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go there," Gaga said in an interview to a radio show, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I love eating pasta and I'm a New York Italian girl. That's why I have been staying out of New York," she added.

The 26-year-old admits she should eat a healthy diet rather than gorging on tasty food items.

"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'," she added.
