Bill Clinton has become vegan, reversed his heart disease and is sharing his recipes!

42. Maybe you're at a healthy weight already?

My husband would be considered "obese" by the usual standards, but switching to a plant-based diet and increasing the amount of exercise he gets only resulted in a loss of about five pounds over a period of six or seven months. I'm average weight, and I lost about two pounds. I think that the range of healthy weights is much larger than we are lead to believe.

Even if you don't lose any weight, switching to a plant-based diet will reduce your blood pressure and bad cholesterol, increase your good cholesterol, and reduce your chances of getting cancer and heart disease.
Personally, though, I would never have had enough discipline to switch to a plant-based diet based on health reasons. It's much easier to switch for the animals and the environment. If you'd like to give it another try, I'd highly recommend "Vegucated," which is available streaming on Netflix.
