Vegetarian Star

Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell were spotted at Phillipe restaurant in New York sharing vegetarian fare during what People called a romantic dinner. Wonder if the pair opted for lettuce wraps or chose to get steamy early in the evening.

Phillipe, which has restaurants in New York city, Los Angels, Miami and the Hamptons, features a “Steamed” menu with seasonal vegetables that come with or without tofu.

A nice way to eat veggies as a switch from raw or fried, as steaming some of them, like carrots, zucchini and broccoli, may preserve antioxidants.

"The Dorm Room Diet" Daphne Oz

We’re giving away a copy of The Dorm Room Diet by Daphne Oz, daughter of the daytime cardio surgeon TV host, Dr. Oz, and a graduate of Princeton University. Daphne found that although she followed a vegetarian diet, she wasn’t always putting the right things in her body and decided to write the book to assist anyone–living in a dorm or a cubicle–in getting on the right eating track.

Daphne’s book is full of tips for living healthy and green and every day of the contest, Vegetarian Star will bring you a tip from the book. To enter to win, simply “give a tip” back, or leave a comment on the post letting us know your tip for staying healthy.

Everyone knows nuts are good for you (full of omega-3 fatty acids, good source of plant based protein), but if you hate the bitter taste of walnuts you don’t have to miss out. Daphne and her family eat them in the traditional Turkish way by soaking them in water overnight. This takes away the bitterness and neutralizes an enzyme inhibitor, which helps your body absorb more vitamins and nutrients.

So that’s the Dorm Room Diet tip of the day. What’s yours?

Forget Tiger Woods and his life drama. There are much more interesting golf stories to talk about, like Phil Mickelson going vegetarian in an effort to ease his psoriatic arthritis.

“The last seven weeks, this will be the shocker,” Mickelson said, “I’ve actually been a vegetarian believe it or not.”

“I know this is crazy, but I know, I know. No, this wasn’t recommended by a doctor, I read a book and just thought maybe it will help. And if it helps my situation, I’m all for it.”

This may be such a big shocker because  Mickelson owns the rights to Five Guys Burgers restaurants in Orange County, California.

Sophia Bush of One Tree Hill has toyed with vegetarianism and veganism, but finds it hard to keep up the diet and lifestyle after a few days.

“I don’t know if it’s a blood type thing or what, but if I don’t eat meat for a few days I actually start to get sick,” Bush told Ecostiletto. “But what I’ve done is decrease the amount of meat that I eat. I read a statistic that if Americans cut their consumption of meat in half—any kind of meat, beef or chicken—we would lower our greenhouse gas emissions by something like 60%. It’s astonishing.”

If you thought you saw a slimmer, sexier looking former president of the United States from the photos of Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding, you’re right.

Sources say Bill Clinton had a goal of losing 15 pounds before his daughter’s wedding, but exceeded it by losing 23 by following a vegetarian diet.

“She doesn’t think I’m in shape,” Clinton said about Chelsea in April. “You know she told me the other day she said, ‘Dad the only thing you gotta do is walk me down the aisle and you gotta look good.’ So I said, ‘Well, what’s your definition?’ And she said, ‘Oh, about 15 pounds.’ So I’m about halfway home.”

Wonder if Chelsea shared some favorite recipes to help dad lose some of his tire like Thai-Spice Sweet Potato Soup with Gingered Bok Choy.

Nutrition and fitness experts have always warned that deprivation leads to excess eating. So it makes sense that those who are the neediest–when they finally attain food–gorge themselves on not only copious amounts of food, but the high sugar, high fat, empty carbohydrate type leading to obesity.

Lauren Bush, founder of the FEED Projects, recognizes the correlation and now that she’s started FEED USA to combat hunger in the U.S., she’s thinks it’s a perfect platform to tackle childhood obesity as the answer is not to restrict food from the obese but provide them with ample amounts of healthier choices.

“The people that are focused on ending hunger, and the people that are focused on ending obesity often don’t seem to get along – the people that are trying to end hunger are trying to get more food to people while the people trying to end obesity are trying to get less food to people,” the lifelong vegetarian said, according to Fox.
