Dr Oz Gets Meat-Loving Cowboy to Go Vegan!

A few weeks ago Dr. Oz featured Rocco, a meat-loving cowboy on his talk show. After giving Rocco a televised physical, Dr. Oz was alarmed at how unhealthy the cowboy really was, and concluded that he practically had the heart of an 80-year-old. To save Rocco’s life, the good doctor put him on a 28-day vegan diet, with great results!

Enlisting the help of his friend “The Enforcer”, Dr. Oz helped Rocco replace all the meat in his diet and refrigerator with fruits and vegetables and walking every day.

In the video above, Rocco admits that taking that first step was the hardest, but once he finally realized what it was that he wanted from a healthier life, it became much easier. Having people help you along the way, and maybe even “push you around a little” certainly helped the meat-loving cowboy stick to the vegan diet.

“The thing that surprised me the most is that if I eat the amount of food the size of my palm, I will not be hungry anymore and I will not eat two hours or three hours later,” Rocco says on the show. “I will eat more times than I did before, but I will consume less calories and at the end of the day I would’ve lost weight.”

After 28 days Rocco lost 6 inches off his waist, drop his glucose level from 172 to 99, hemoglobin A1C count from 9 to 7.7, and HDL cholesterol from 33 to 45.

Celeb Diet Doc…
