“Being a vegetarian helps me a lot. I recover quicker than I did before and I also feel like I have a lot more energy than when I ate meat. As for the transition, it was very easy. Of course I missed certain things like In-N-Out Burgers or tacos, but I still get things like protein from other things. I am not a huge believer in loading protein like some guys are. If I do eat it I get in brown rice or one of my sponsors, Vega Sport, makes a really good plant-based protein paste I use. The transition really was not bad and it would be something I would encourage others to give a try sometime.”

—Georgi Karakhanyan, mixed martial artist who competes in the featherweight division who’s making his World Series of Fighting debut against UFC champion Waylon Lowe in Atlantic City, NJ this weekend.

Jon Fitch can be added to the list of mostly vegetarian celebrities who’ve been mislead about the health benefits of adding meat to your diet.

The MMA fighter stated he has started to occasionally add animal products because it’s difficult to gain weight without them.

“I found out that going 100% vegan was good for me, but I was losing too much weight,” Fitch told Bloody Elbow. “I was at 183 pounds, walk-around weight, and that’s just too light for me. I don’t have enough mass.”

“Don’t get me wrong, yes, I love animals … but if we were in a different day and age like 100 or 200 years ago then, sure, I would do whatever I had to do to live. If I had to be a hunter-gatherer then I would. I might feel bad about it, but I would respect the animals that I killed and I would eat meat. But things are different. We don’t live in that day and age anymore.”

Jake Shields for PETA

Jake Shields has released a new ad for PETA 2 promoting vegetarianism.

The ad coincides with the MMA fighter’s competition this weekend on CBS.

“I’m living proof that you can further, train harder, and pack a meaner punch without eating animals. I’m Jake Shields, and I’m a vegetarian,” the ad reads.

Shields is a lifelong vegetarian and according to his biography, was home schooled up until Junior High, so he was able to avoid the nasty mystery meat made by the lunch ladies.

He’s looking great!
