Vegetarian Star

New Jersey governor Chris Christie announced he’s undergone lap band surgery to lose weight.

The Reverend Al Sharpton chatted with TMZ on Christie’s life changing health decision, giving his thoughts on losing weight through surgical procedures vs. diet and lifestyle changes.

Sharpton himself lost over 100 pounds changing his diet, and is now a vegan.

He said that although he supports losing weight in a more natural way, Christie’s decision to drop pounds through another medical intervention is still an important move.

But if he ever needs advice on eating a tofu steak instead of a lean burger, Sharpton said he can be Christie’s “maintenance man.”

Mark Bittman already has a pretty flexible vegan eating plan.

Eat what you want (sensibly) at dinnertime, but every meal before 6:00 P.M. should be vegan.

Can there be any more wiggle room for the flexitarian not willing to give up all animal products?

During an interview on Huffington Post Live, Bittman reveals yes–if you’re willing to cheat.

“Yes, I put milk in my coffee in the morning,” Bittman said. “Real vegans don’t, but I’m not a real vegan….On strict days, [I eat] no dairy, no animal products at all, no processed food, no white food like white rice, pasta, bread, etc..”

Jim Gaffigan hates vegan junk food.

Not that he likes healthy vegan food.

The comedian sat down to sample a few favorite munchie items like vegan jerky, a coconut beverage and kale chips with Julie Klausner of Vulture.

The items can best be described as “acid rain,” “urine,” and items that taste “like a bag of gravel.”

Cooking can be a task in itself.

Cooking vegan can be even more difficult, especially if there are multiple steps requiring multiple different cooking techniques.

Frying, sauteeing, roasting, baking–wouldn’t it be great if everything could be done in one pot?

If you’re making Mark Bittman‘s One Pot Pasta from his latest cookbook Eat Vegan Before Six, you’re in luck.

Jillian Michaels is currently making rounds in the U.S. for her “Maximize Your Life Tour,” dispensing all the great advice and counsel she gives to those lucky enough to land a spot on The Biggest Loser.

Michaels is almost a vegan.

In the past she’s discussed eating fish as her only meat and she promoted coconut milk for a company that specializes in vegan dairy products like ice cream and yogurt.

If you fall under the same category as Michaels and aren’t giving up animal products completely, that’s still no excuse to completely sabotage a good diet, as Michaels explained it’s about eating right most of the time, as she shared with U.S. News and World Report.
