Earlier this month we reported on Levi Johnston’s high-protein, low-carb diet in preparation for his photo shoot for Playgirl magazine. And now reports have surfaced that the 19-year-old father of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s grandchild is literally hunting his own protein – moose meat.

Johnston’s trainer, Marvin Jones, told People magazine that moose meat is not only high in protein, it’s also very lean, and because the youngster is such an eager hunter, he collects his own meat. Marvin also went into detail as to Johnston’s exercise regime to prepare for Playgirl. Levi and Marvin hit the gym for 3 hours every day, 6 days a week with cardio training and rests in the sauna.

“I’m not trying to give him a body builder’s look. He’s going to be more toned and more defined,” Marvin says. “I’d like to see him with rounder and more muscular shoulders, with a fuller chest. We’re going to firm his abs up, [and give him a] smaller waist.”

Marvin, who only plans on working with Levi until the second week in November, says Levi is so committed to the training that he even got sick during his second week. But Marvin insists Levi is still having fun and the pair is eager to reveal all their hard work.

Sarah Palin, the 45-year-old governor of Alaska gave an interview with Runners World Magazine where she revealed a bit about her own workout regimen as well as how she thinks she would fare against President Obama in a good old-fashioned foot race. Palin said that she always runs and it keeps her sane.  The mother of five explained that unless she’s ‘too pregnant’ she runs,

“I feel so crappy if I go more than a few days without running … Sweat is my sanity.”

She normally runs along the trails in Anchorage and Juneau but she’s often not spotted by tourists nor photographers:

“When I run, I’m totally incognito because I’m not wearing the trough of full makeup,” she boasts. “I can go running through a mob of tourists and they don’t recognize me.”

Palin also revealed what music she listens to while running:

“… old Van Halen and AC/DC, then I get into my country music, then I always wrap it up with a couple mellow Amy Grant songs.”

Keep in mind that Palin does have a few marathon runs under her belt so when asked how she would fare against the President she said,

“I betcha I’d have more endurance.  So if it were a long race that required a lot of endurance I’d win.”

Sarah sure made a grand entrance at the RNC with her rousing speech. I’m going to keep politics out of this post, but I will say Sarah can deliver a great speech under enormous pressure. America has wanted to learn more about this Governor of Alaska since she burst onto the national scene with her “first dude” husband and growing family. Sarah spoke with the WSJ recently and talked about her unique Alaskan diet and lifestyle…

Sarah reveals

“My family and I eat a healthy diet heavy in wild Alaskan seafood, moose, caribou and fresh fruit”

She also admits to being a breakfast skipper “I know it’s the most important meal of the day but I still haven’t bought into it. I hate to admit it, but a skinny white-chocolate mocha is my staple in the morning.”

Sarah we learn is a big time runner. “Conventional running is my sanity” she says. She was running 7 to 10 miles a day before her pregnancy and switched to aerobics classes at her local gym when she became pregnant. She reportedly is back up to 3 miles a day.. but who knows now in the final sprint to the national election? She also reveals that she gets quite the upper body workout by snowmobiling with her husband Todd, “It’s the best upper body workout you could ever have”  Todd is btw, a four time champion of the Iron Dog race… sounds like the famous Iditarod dog sled race except on a snow machine.

Celeb Diet Doc…
I’m impressed she finds time to get the running in with her incredibly busy schedule… great for her! Although you may get the impression from this blog that I’m a vegan, I’m not. We evolved to consume some animal protein. Straight vegans, for instance, are at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency and should supplement their diet so they are not missing this important vitamin. Deficiencies in B12 result in anemia and neurological symptoms such as fatigue, depression, unsteady gait, and impaired touch sensations. It’s just that many Americans consume as much as 40% of their meals as animal protein and this is not healthy. Sarah’s diet of wild game and fish is no doubt healthier. Wild sources of game and fish are leaner sources of protein compared with conventional grain-raised cattle and poultry and also contain high concentrations of anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fats. So yes have some animal protein.. or moose meat.. just not too much!
