According to Deadspin, Melo has been following the Daniel Fast. I asked Ray Lewis (not really) what that was all about and found out it had to do with a Bible passage.
Daniel 10:2-3: “At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over.
Daniel must have been very ashy during that time. Anyway here is what Melo had to say.
More Carmelo Anthony: “No meats, no carbs. I don’t know how I was out there competing at a high level.”

Carmelo Anthony on fasting: “I usually do it sometimes to get some clarity in my life. I’m done now. I can’t do it anymore. I surrender.”

More Carmelo Anthony: “These past 3, 4 games the body has just felt depleted. I was just trying to find other ways to get energy.”
