Arizona Cardinals Gabe Watson Goes Vegetarian For Weight Loss
Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.
Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Gabe Watson was told by his strengthening and conditioning coach he should lose weight so he took the easiest step by eliminated fat filled meat products from his diet, according to an article at AZ Central.
It worked, as Watson’s lost about 30 pounds and hopes to be 5 pounds thinner than what the coach recommended when he reports to summer training camp.
Watson said the vegetarian diet helped to clean his system out, adding it was really “toxic.”
His typical breakfast now might consist of oatmeal with peanut butter and two bananas.
During the majority of his diet, most of his proteins came from beans and shakes, including a blend of wheat grass, spinach, strawberries, apples and blueberries he still consumes and calls “the nastiest thing in the world, but it helps me.”
Although most of the hard work is over, Watson is still sticking to his regime, only eating meat occasionally.
