Action for Animals Austin

VegNews just broke the news that Bob Harper of Biggest Loser fame has gone vegan:

"This week, celebrity trainer Bob Harper told VegNews that he has gone vegan, cutting all animal products out of his diet, and shared that the switch to a cruelty-free diet has improved his health. “I enjoy living a plant-based diet because it makes me feel clear headed and strong, not to mention my genetically high cholesterol dropped more than 100 points. That was all the motivation I needed,” says Harper. Famous for helping Americans slim down on NBC’s The Biggest Loser, Harper has been a longtime vegetarian, often promoting meat-free recipes. In addition to helping stars get fit and contestants shed pounds, the 44-year-old vegan trainer also teaches exercise classes through Crunch gym and has his own series of workout videos titled Bob Harper’s Inside Out Method."

This major announcement follows hot on the heels of the massive nationwide success of local Austinite Rip Esselstyn's Engine 2 Diet, which I have reported on previously (here, here, and here), not to mention professional Ironman triathlete Brendan Brazier's The Thrive Diet, and professional bodybuilder Robert Cheeke's Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness.

The message is clear: if you want to be in peak physical condition (and live a compassionate, ethical lifestyle), a plant-based diet is the way to go.
