5Bill Clinton
After years of struggling with heart disease, former President Bill Clinton has recently begun to follow an almost exclusively vegan diet. People began buzzing about Clinton’s mostly plant-based diet shortly after his daughter Chelsea’s wedding.
Bill Clinton still travels and works at a pace that completely exhausts staffers who are two or three decades younger. Yet, while coping with heart disease and the usual complaints of aging, he has managed to change his diet drastically, lose more than 30 pounds and keep the weight off.
“I’ve stopped eating meat, cheese, milk, even fish. No dairy at all. I’ve lost more than 20 pounds so far, aiming for about 30 before Chelsea’s wedding. And I have so much more energy now! I feel great.”
Even if it looks like he adopted this lifestyle in order to lose weight, I congratulate him and anyone who tries to be vegetarian and I hope it lasts.
