Vegetarian Star

The Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper has officially announced he’s a vegetarian!

In the September ’09 issue of Vegetarian Times, Harper explains his motivation for doing so, which included reading Rory Freedman’s vegan diet and fitness book,  Skinny Bitch .

Bob said he tries to convince contestants on the reality TV show to eat as much plant based foods as possible during the weight loss competition.

“I always bring up the option of a vegetable-based diet, which I call Diet A, and talk about the many easy ways to get protein, such as from beans, tofu, broccoli, and quinoa. For the contestants who insists they need their meat, I have Diet B, which is still very heavy on veggies.”

Bob said after going veg, his cholesterol dropped by 100 points!

Now, that’s a loser everyone can be proud of!

Pick up the latest issue of Vegetarian Times on the stands to read the entire Q & A with Bob.

Biggest Loser coaches Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper are not vegetarians-yet!

But we have a sneaky suspicion at least one of them is going all the way sooner or later.

Jillian has announced she’s given up almost all meat in her diet, with the exception of fish, in an effort to go green. And Bob just can’t stop Tweeting about vegan cheese and almond milk.

So between the two Biggest Losers stars who have a thing for the veg life, even if it’s part time, who would you rather…

Bob Harper has been tweeting away his vegetarian recommendations lately.

The personal trainer who serves to get the Blue team in shape on NBC’s The Biggest Loser, has revealed he loves vegan cheese and almond milk.

From @BobHarperAnthem:

“Try choosing a cheese alternative today to replace your regular one. You will be surprised how great some of them taste, my fav, vegan rella.”

“Try using Almond Milk today instead of cow’s milk today. It is a healthy alternative and tastes GREAT!!”

Sweet deal, Bob!

Wouldn’t it be incredibly cool if The Biggest Loser had contestants do veg diets while they were losing weight?

Between Bob’s recommendations for milk and cheese substitutes and Jillian Michaels almost being completely vegetarian except for a few fish here and there, they could really show the world the best body is a veggie body.
