Shaquille O’Neal has revealed how he is looking to go meatless, as part of his new diet.
Shaquille O’Neal Wants To Go Meatless By Turning Vegan-Loves To Eat Cheeseburgers At Slutty Vegan
The NBA legend certainly has to get his diet right. He stands at a massive 7ft 1 and weighs over 300 pounds. With that being said, everything that he eats has to be carefully considered.
As part of that process, it looks as though Shaquille will be trying to go vegan. In this way, Shaquille is hoping to strike a balance with eating tasty food and keeping the pounds under control.
During an interview with “Urban Eats and Treats,” he said: “My friend introduced me to this place [Slutty Vegan] and it’s healthy. For example, I like cheeseburgers, right.
“But the way she cooks it, I can eat healthy, but still feel like I’m eating bad.”
Despite what the star has said, it is important to take his comments with a pinch of salt. First of all, there is no indication that he will end up being fully vegan.
He admitted that he likes to come to this place when he considers going for a cheat meal. Secondly, in any event, Shaquille does have a vested interest when it comes to the vegan industry.
He has invested in a company entitled ‘Beyond Meat,’ which aims to promote the idea of a plant based diet. There have apparently been a total of 13 athletes, who have invested, one of which includes none other than Kyrie Irving.
As such, it would make sense for Shaquille to talk about the benefits of going vegan, knowing that he could have a huge pay-packet down the line.
The fans on social media questioned Shaquille’s comments. People were not convinced that veganism was necessarily promoting the health benefits that it claims to have done.
One person wrote: “Has he ever seen a vegan? It does seem to turn people nuts.” Time will tell if Shaquille can stick to his new diet. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this?
