Ruben Studdard Shows All Vegs Don’t Have To Be Skinny

The word is that American Idol season 2 winner Ruben Studdard is back on the veg wagon, after gossip that he had fallen off.
According to Ruben, he’s feeling better than ever and in great health, despite not having a 32 inch waistline.
“I am a vegetarian now and I think that’s the one thing that saved me from being over the top. I also work out every day and have a trainer on the road with me. I saw pictures of myself at the beginning of ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Ruben Studdard CD and I look like a whole other person now. I’m down like five or six pants sizes. I’ve been a vegetarian for about two and a half years now. I probably miss fried chicken the most. I feel better. You can’t pay for the way you feel after you start. I’m not saying that people who eat meat don’t feel great because I’m sure they do, but it works for me. I don’t want people that sell meat to be knocking on my door saying, ‘You’re still fat. You ain’t lost that much weight.'”
Hey, who said going veg was about going thin?
Are you a “pleasantly plump” or “thick” veg who still has low cholesterol and a kick ass resting heart rate? Did dropping the hot dog bring you health benefits, even if it didn’t bring you six pack abs or a size 2 dress?

I have always been considered overweight by BMI standards and when I went veg and lost weight, it still wasn’t considered enough according to my BMI.
However, I was fortunate to have a smart doctor who told me the charts weren’t for people with my frame and based on my bloodwork, I should change a thing.
