Former US President Bill Clinton recently confirmed that he is indeed eating a mainly vegan diet. In the interview, the former president explains the reason behind his decision to go vegan.
"I'm trying to be one of those experimenters," said Clinton. "Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a plant-based diet, not ingesting any cholesterol from any source, has seen their bodies start to heal themselves — break up the arterial blockage, break up the calcium deposits around the heart. 82 percent of the people who have done this have had this result, so I want to see if I can be one of them."

Clinton decided to adopt the diet in the early part of May 2010. While he does occasionally eat fish, the former president otherwise follows a strict vegan diet.
What made him go vegan? Clinton has read many books on the topic, including books by T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. Dean Ornish. Although losing weight was a benefit of the dietary change, the choice to go vegan was about more than just losing weight.
With time, Clinton could become the most outspoken proponent of a complete vegan diet."

    I don't have anything nice to say about politicians,but there's actual truth in what Clinton is saying. I am stunned.

    If you really desire to burn off your stubborn body fat, you might want to Google the term "Avon Fat Furnace". You are going to get the beach body you should have.

    Yeah, OK, Lucifel... I gotcha. To me, my own health is the only reason that would motivate me enough to make the drastic change to vegan; not to be hip; not to 'save the planet' all by himself; nor for fashion's sake.

    Seems that Clinton's clogging up of his stented blood vessel scared him enough to want to do his own frantic research to learn what he needed to do to unclog his vessels. I'd say that's a good enough reason as any, for any person. Selfish reasons are not bad reasons. Thanks.
