Carson Dalyis not holding back when it comes to his thoughts onJennifer Lopez‘s 10-day no carb, no sugar challenge.
Last week, the “Jenny From the Block” singer, 49, posted avideo on Instagram, in which shechallenged several people, includingHota Kotb, to avoid eating sugars and carbs for 10 days. Kotb eventually gathered her reluctantTodayco-hosts to join her with attempting the strict diet.
But it seems the challenge didn’t go as planned for Daly, 45, who revealed on Monday’s episode ofTodaythat he had already called it quits, not even 24 hours in.

“Forgive me J.Lo, for I have sinned,” he said before entering the camera booth.
“The challenge for me — I accepted it on Friday — never really happened,” Daly admitted. “By the time I got home, I had a text from my sister who doesn’t cook that often and she invited my family over to her family’s house. She made individual chicken pot pies.”
“What am I supposed to do, not eat that?” Daly continued. “Am I supposed to show up with my own bag of broccoli and [say], ‘Oh, I can’t have any carbs?’ It’s Friday night!”
Things got worse on Saturday night whenThe Voicehost went out to his favorite restaurant, known for their crispy french fries. Though Daly explained he did not order the fries on his own — someone else ordered them for the table — he admitted, “I can’t not have one!”
“I don’t know if I can do it. I really don’t think I can, to be honest with you,” Daly candidly said. “Or maybe just deep, deep, deep down inside I don’t want to.”
Defending his decisions, Daly explained the challenge “doesn’t make any sense to me,” as he prefers to “celebrate life” with his wifeSiri Pinter Dalyand their three children:Jackson James, 9,Etta Jones, 6, andLondon Rose, 4.
“I thought it would be easier because I don’t eat a ton of carbs anyway… there’s just a lot of sugar in everything, it turns out,” he finished. “So when you start making these micro decisions in the day you’re like, ‘This sucks. My life sucks now.'”
Meanwhile, Kotb, 54, “had a little bit of a different experience” than Daly, who couldn’t stop raving about the “amazing” diet and her improved energy — though she admitted to cheating with some alcohol and Coffee-Mate creamer in coffee.

“Hoda! I know you’re up for a good challenge,” she added.
