Dubbing himself ‘The Fifty Year Old Vegan’, Rainn Wilson most famous for his role as Dwight Schrute in the American version of The Office, has announced that he’s been following a vegan diet for the past six weeks.
Wilson took to Instagram to tell his fans about his new eating habits, but reassured them that ‘[HE] WILL NOT BE ONE OF THOSE ASSHOLE VEGANS WHO IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY’RE A VEGAN!’
Aside from this, Wilson was very positive about the effects veganism has had on his body and mind over the past six weeks. He admitted that the first week or so was in fact quite difficult, leaving him craving all sorts of animal products, but ‘sometime in the second and 1/2 week, things shifted dramatically.’ Wilson has noticed that he’s sleeping better, needing less nap time during the day, and also that he began to lose weight.
At first, he and his wife only planned on trialing the diet for a month, but it appears that this change will be long-term.
Wilson isn’t the only celebrity who has claimed they have felt a physical difference after ditching animal products. Waka Flocka Flame attributes his vegan diet to helping him lose weight, and Natalie Portman credits veganism for curing her acne.
It’s unclear what sort of food Wilson has been eating, aside from ‘buckets of Quinoa’ but it appears he’s enjoying his new lease of life, claiming that he has much more energy than before.
