Ever since Jon Fitch picked up a copy of the man’s guide to going vegetarian and vegan, Skinny Bastard, he’s gotten tough.
This guy’s so tough, you don’t want to fight him. Ever. Instead, you want to be his friend so he’ll make yummy meals for you like the kind he demonstrates in this YouTube video posted on his journal in an entry titled, “My ‘Weird Diet’ Explained.”
Fitch’s typical breakfast might consist of oatmeal sweetened with agave syrup and flavored with hemp milk. For lunch, it’s tofu stir fry and rice. He likes his nuts, but will only eat them if raw and organic. An excerpt from his journal on his new weird diet can be viewed below.
After briefly going over the basics of this diet in my YouTube video, I noticed a lot of people comment on the apparent lack of meat and, by association, protein in my diet. Well, here’s the thing – this no meat, no protein myth is one that has been established and put out there by the companies that make money off the very idea. There is actually protein in everything, including vegetables, and there are many ways of getting it. You don’t just have to eat lots of meat to take on board protein.
I have treated this new diet as one big adventure and I’m enjoying every moment of it. I’ve eaten the same way for 32 years of my life and now I’ve got the chance to change it up and explore different methods. It’s both challenging and exciting. We’re having fun with new recipes and new foods to eat.
