The newest diet trend to take on Hollywood bans red meat. And chicken. And every other food with an animal origin -- all in the name of clean eating and promises of a healthier body.
But does this eating regimen really ring true? Or are celebrity followers like Lea Michele, Natalie Portman and Kellie Pickler at risk for a health scare? http://nataliaportman.blogspot.com/
Eating vegan basically means consuming only plant-based foods like vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains. Since these foods are so low in calories, "counting calories is simply not necessary!" says celebrity nutritionist Cynthia Pasquella.
In fact, studies have shown that followers of a plant-based diet are significantly thinner, says Pasquella, whose clients include Debra Messing, 42, and Sandra Bullock, 46.
Other health benefits include lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels (a major perk for Bill Clinton, 64, who recently adopted a vegan diet and lost weight for Chelsea's wedding). Plus the increase of nutrients like vitamins A, B, and E is great for clearing skin, promoting healthier hair and nails and boosting energy. It's no wonder Lea Michele, 24, who must rehearse for hours on end for Glee, credits her vegan diet for helping her keep up with the strenuous schedule.
