Following in the footsteps of Bill Clinton, Alec Baldwin, Bryan Adams and Prince, Mike Tyson is the latest in a long line of male celebrities to rave about the health benefits of going vegan.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
After turning over a new leaf and committing to the strict plant-based diet last year, the former heavyweight champ lost 100 pounds.  <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u2018Becoming a vegan gave me another opportunity to live a healthy life,\u2019 Tyson told ABC.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u2018I was so congested from all the drugs and bad cocaine, I could hardly breathe\u2019. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
But Tyson\u2019s health overhaul seemed to be as much about clean living as clean eating. He told The Today Show that he adopted the diet after \u2018too many prison cells, too many jails, too many lawsuits, too many bankruptcies, too many women, too many venereal diseases, too many everything. I\u2019m going to live a different life.\u2019 <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
And Google Trends reported that interest in veganism is at an all-time high. Food Business News writes that consumers have swapped red meat for poultry or limited red meat in their diets for financial or health reasons. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
A new survey from market research firm Packaged Facts shows that 12per cent of U.S. adults \u2018strongly agree\u2019 and 19per cent \u2018somewhat agree\u2019 that they are eating many meatless\/vegetarian meals. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Former president Bill Clinton was one of the first high-profile public figures to do a 180-degree turn from omnivore to plant-eater. He made headlines in 2011 after a second heart health scare prompted him to replace beef with broccoli.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u2018A vegan diet saved my life,\u2019 he said at the time, adding that he was enjoying eating veggies, fruits and beans and didn\u2019t miss fast food. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Clinton\u2019s healthier eating was an inspiration to Reverend Al Sharpton, who also cut out meat and lost 50 pounds.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Alec Baldwin stopped eating meat and narrated a video for Peta called \u2018Meet Your Meat\u2019 in 2009. After he was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, Baldwin was also inspired to eliminate sugar and dairy from his diet – and rocked the red carpet looking years younger. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
