Did you know? Cam Newton the pescatarian.

Cut out processed meats and you'll be fine.

[Riverboat Ron]

I eat nothing but donuts and bacon.

Always wondered how they feel about frog's legs, since they're amphibious. Also ethnic delicacies like walrus, seal, and sea snake, since they spend vast majority of their lives in water.

How healthy can vegan be if people are losing lots of weight?

A pescetarian diet excludes land animals and birds, but includes fish, mollusks, and crustaceans in addition to fruits, vegetables, plants, legumes, nuts, and grains. Eggs and dairy may or may not be present in the pescetarian's diet.

Newton summed up his diet pretty well:

 

"If it's in the sea, pretty much it will be on my plate," he said.

 

Newton also said that being a pro football player makes sticking to the diet even harder.

 

"It's been challenging at times," he said. "Especially being around the locker room where you get guys eating hot wings, nachos, hot dogs, and hamburgers all the time.

 

"Ever since I gave up the meat, I think it was March, I liked the way I was feeling and I just stuck with it ever since."

Someone asked him if he enjoyed any special seafood while he was in Miami for last weekend's game.

"I had some great Dolphin," he said with a laugh.

 

The diet seems to be working as Newton has led the Panthers to seven straight wins.

Granted this was 2013, still a pretty cool story and interesting tidbit. I did a vegan diet, only allowing cheese, for about a year. It did a lot for me.

 

I'm on a see food diet.  I see it and I want to eat it.  I can't because I'm a diabetic.  I see a doughnut and I could in-hale the thing.

I was thinking about trying a diet. I really need to shed some pounds. I heard about this diet but unsure if I am ready for the task. Seafood seems to be a little more pricey and I love me some chicken. I am going to do some research on what is better for me to go with.

If you do research you will find out that the human race has evolved to be plant eaters and have lost the enzyme that digest meat. 

 

Meat-eaters: have claws

Herbivores: no claws

Humans: no claws

 

Meat-eaters: have no skin pores and perspire through the tongue

Herbivores: perspire through skin pores

Humans: perspire through skin pores

 

Meat-eaters: have sharp front teeth for tearing, with no flat molar teeth for grinding

Herbivores: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding

Humans: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding

 

Meat-eaters: have intestinal tract that is only 3 times their body length so that rapidly decaying meat can pass through quickly

Herbivores: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.

Humans: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.

 

Meat-eaters: have strong hydrochloric acid in stomach to digest meat

Herbivores: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater

Humans: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater

 

Meat-eaters: salivary glands in mouth not needed to pre-digest grains and fruits.

Herbivores: well-developed salivary glands which are necessary to pre-digest grains and fruits

Humans: well-developed salivary glands, which are necessary to pre-digest, grains and fruits

 

Meat-eaters: have acid saliva with no enzyme ptyalin to pre-digest grains

Herbivores: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains

Humans: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains

Yeah, we knew.

 

I've pretty much given up beef and pork (except for Thanksgiving and Christmas), and my body feels so much better. Chicken and fish are my thing, but I usually go a couple of days per week without eating meat at all.  Fresh fruits and vegetables are a staple in the house as my wife, a self-described "part-time vegan", eats lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges, apples, etc. as well as beans.  She went from a size 22 to a size 4/5 in a little less than a year and a half.  

 

I'm still coming to your house to drink beer.  That's a vegetable, isn't it?

I've been wanting to give up factory-farmed meat since learning about the way the animals are treated. They spend their entire lives like this:

 

Maybe "eating like Cam" can be enough to get me to give up that cheap and tasty bacon.

[Bj-Monster23]

I loss 75 pounds since October doing one of these diets.

[Silent Majority]

Ive lost @220 lbs now. Im a lacto-ovo pescatarian. Have to supplement with protein because i lift heavy as well. Not sure if i could pull that off as a NFL player tho'. Cam is a freaking specimen.
