Vegetarian Star

If you follow Forest Whitaker, you know he had to shed that 70 pounds of extra baggage he put on for The Last King of Scotland, a film which earned him an Oscar in 2007.

Forest has been following a vegetarian diet for years, but he found cutting back on many processed foods, especially soy, helped the cause.

In other words: Forest cut the vegan junk food!

“I cut all the soy out and it changed everything… I just wanted to take care of myself,” Forest said.

Faux meats and cheeses are no doubt delicious, but YES, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. But is soy itself to blame for the vegan Santa Clause look? Not necessarily, says Dr. Andrew Weil, healthy living expert.

“I haven’t been aware of what everybody’s been saying. Somebody showed me a story that made it sound like I’m too thin. I’ve just been living life and trying to live it to the fullest. That’s all I’m trying to do — live happy and healthy. I gained a lot of weight to play Idi Amin and afterwards I got a little more serious about diet and exercise. Also, I don’t think being a vegetarian hurts.”
