Being Vegan has always been considered one of the most healthy and nutritious food diets available these days. In a nutshell, a Vegan is a person who does not eat or use animal products such as honey, milk, wool or leather. There has been a growing trend of Veganism amongst Celebrities in which many of them have adopted the Vegan lifestyle long-term, and have claimed there have been endless benefits to their dietary change. Here, we’ll reveal a few of the Celebrities who either are, or have tried Veganism, what they eat, and their thoughts and opinions on Veganism as a whole.
Jessica Simpson became a temporary vegan – cutting out animal products in the two-week run-up to her Wedding. A source told Us Weekly: “Jessica did a vegan diet for about two weeks…She also got quite a few B12 shots.” The US Pop singer and star, who has been a spokesperson for Weight Watchers in the past, also embarked on a strict fitness regime before her big day, doing hardcore workouts with her trainer including high cardiovascular workouts and weightlifting.
Jennifer Lopez has gone vegan recently – and confesses that it has given her a lot of energy and strength within her body and mind: “Being vegan, it’s basically no dairy, no meat, everything is just plant-based and just from the ground…I love that I’m eating more greens. It makes you feel so much better.” J-Lo said she’d recommend it as a diet for keeping slim and lean, but does confess to missing non – vegan ingredients such as butter: “Butter is the one thing I miss! Butter makes everything taste better.”
Jay Z announced his plans to go vegan on his Life & Times blog in December 2013. The US rapper wrote: “On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday, I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!! I will post my progress… Any professional Vegans out there that have any great food spots please help out! Please ha. I don’t know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan, a fully plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We’ll see…” The rapper also added that his wife Beyoncé will be joining him, too – how sweet…a couple of Vegans!
Long-time vegetarian Natalie Portman went Vegan in 2009 after reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals. She took her love for being a Vegan even further when she decided to write a blog about it on The Huffington Post. “The human cost of factory farming — both the compromised welfare of slaughterhouse workers and, even more, the environmental effects of the mass production of animals — is staggering,” she wrote.
The US Actress and beauty returned to vegetarianism during her 2011 pregnancy, US Weekly reports, citing that her body was craving foods made with eggs and cheese. Post-pregnancy, Portman got back onto the animal-free lifestyle. Her 2012 wedding was actually catered with an all-vegan menu.
