Seriously, all the cool kids are going vegetarian these days—and with great results. Just as our friend Mike White did, trainer Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser went vegetarian for his health—and his cholesterol count dropped 100 points.

You heard that right: 100 points!

Over at Ecorazzi, they're sayin' Bob went vegetarian after reading Skinny *****. I really should start lending my copy to more people.

Skinny ***** started me on my journey. After reading it on March 29, 2009 I have never put another piece of meat in my mouth or my children's mouths. You should also read the China Study. It will change your life!

I just recently joined a gym and my trainer along with the guy who signed me up keeps going on about how my muscles won't be able to repair themselves properly because as a veg I am not getting enough protien. It's amazing how strong this protien myth is! I have decided to just tell him that I promise to not eat junk or processed foods and that I will handle my nutritional needs. I just want him to help me work out. Hopefully that works! If not I can just steer him here!

I went vegan after reading Skinny Bitch. It was the best thing I have ever done. I couldn't continue to support animal curelty anymore. And as a benefit I have lost weight and have become a better runner. Hopefully my family and friends will follow my example.

Look at your teeth Bob. Those are the eating implements of an omnivore.

Made the switch to become a vegetarian 2 years ago and decided less than a year ago to go vegan. The smell of meat on a grill turns my stomach. Not missing meat one bit!

Congratulations! I went vegetarian 20 yrs. ago and would never go back to eating meat. Out bodies are meant to be more than a vessel for dead animals.

Awesome!!! I love Bob and I am so glad to see that he has gone veggie. I think he is a great mentor and he will be a great mentor for all those new veggies out there.

It is best to be vegan and to abolish the use of animals as our property forever. I went vegan afte reading Prof Falicione's books on the abolitionist movement. I dont miss any food.

If for no other reason do it for your health. My dad cut his triglycerides in half and dropped 80 points off of his bad cholesterol after going vegan for only 6 months. This works friends and the animals need you to live a long healthy life! GoVeg.com is a great place to start.
