The NFL Is Going Vegan

The latest trend in the NFL isn't a fancy offense or going for it on fourth down. It's going vegan!

A growing number of the league's stars — many of them 300 pounds of pure muscle — are turning to a plant-based diet to take their game to the next level. And it's no surprise given the success they are having.

In this episode of The Exam Room, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll travels to Nashville to meet up with plant-based celebrity Chef Charity Morgan. The classically trained vegan chef is now feeding a ton of players in the Tennessee Titans locker room, including her own husband Derrick Morgan. Chef Charity shares how it was actually Derrick who introduced her to a plant-based diet and her secrets to keeping these gridiron giants fed. It's no small feat given their size!

Plus, Chef Charity takes us into the kitchen to whip up a delicious plant-based spinach and artichoke dip that will leave your mouth watering just in time for the Super Bowl.

Then, Chuck checks back in with the inspirational Josh LaJaunie whose incredible weight loss journey began after the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl in 2010. Their improbable victory took him from 420 pounds to the cover of Runner's World magazine! Josh is also the author of the book Sick To Fit, which is available for free as a Kindle download.

You'll get amazing insight on what it takes to transform your health and lose hundreds of pounds when Chuck and Josh compare their remarkable stories.
