Deuce Lutui Confirms Vegan Rumor–It’s Beautiful And True
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 8th, 2012 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.
Deuce Lutui is opening up more about his vegan diet that helped him shed over 100 pounds.
Turns out, the Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman had to corroborate the rumor himself because some in the NFL world did not believe it.
“It’s beautiful, and it’s true,” Lutui said. “I’ve gone vegan.”
What’s even more beautiful is that the entire Lutui household has joined him.
“My whole family is vegan,” he said of his wife and four children, as quoted on the Seahawk’s blog. “If you were to go to my house and open up the fridge, you’d see all-vegan, all-natural products.”
Lutui admits eating vegan is different from traditional Tonga cuisine, which is usually associated with heavy consumption of meats like roasted pig, chicken, beef and seafood dishes. But he’s put as much effort into studying the diet as he’s rehearsed plays on the football field.
“I’m glad I’ve educated myself about what’s going in my mouth. I’ve educated myself, and that’s what’s causing my fitness and how I’ve really taken care of myself physically. And it’s also taken a toll on me mentally, just to really be disciplined.”
