Arnold Schwarzenegger frequently does not fit the preconceived notion of a vegan that non-vegans have. Without a doubt, the former bodybuilder, actor, and governor of California dispels the fallacies surrounding veganism.
Even while many well-known Hollywood vegans appear to partially fit the picture, Arnold Schwarzenegger clearly defies the stereotypes associated with veganism. But the reason he went vegan was that eating a diet high in plants had helped him. It has helped him dramatically decrease his cholesterol during the previous five years.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's veganism is a result of his choice to become more health conscious While fans will most likely remember Arnold Schwarzenegger from his iconic Terminator performance and favorite 1996 holiday film, Jingle All the Way, he has a lot more to offer.
He didn't just stop at the actor-turned-bodybuilder. Even after leaving that post as governor of California in 2003, he has maintained a strong reputation as an environmental crusader.
Arnold claims that he abstains from eating meat because it makes him feel better, and it ought to be a sufficient justification for everyone.

“I stay away more from the meats and more from animal products, and animal proteins, because there was this misconception that that’s the only way you get big and strong, so now I back off that and I feel much better.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger also stated what he eats to stay vegan:
“Now I eat more oatmeal, and greens, and vegetables, and healthy foods.” Many people think Arnold changed his diet after consuming a lot of red meat for many years due to health concerns and on the advice of his physicians.
Others think his transition to veganism was motivated by his involvement with and promotion of the film Game Changers.
But more importantly, if his diet changes did not produce the outcomes he was after, he probably wouldn't be advocating for veganism with the same passion that he does.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and his career Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, an American and Austrian actor and producer of motion pictures, businessman, former bodybuilder, and politician, was born on July 30, 1947. In 2004 and 2007, Time magazine listed Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the top 100 global influencers.
At the age of 20, Arnold was given the title of Mr. Universe. He later won the Mr. Olympia competition seven times. Schwarzenegger has continued to be a major figure in the bodybuilding industry
Arnold became a Hollywood action movie legend and a household name because of his leading roles in movies like Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, Commando, and Predator. During his bodybuilding days, he went by the names Austrian Oak, Styrian Oak, and Arnie during his acting days, and more.
Schwarzenegger was initially chosen as a Republican on October 7, 2003, in a recall election to take the position of then Governor Gray Davis. He served as the governor of California. On November 17, 2003, he took office to complete Davis's term. He won re-election to a second term as governor of California on November 7, 2006, defeating Democrat Phil Angelides, who was serving as the state treasurer at the time. On January 5, 2007, Schwarzenegger took the oath of office for his second term.
Steroids shriveled his balls, so he has no reason to live? Might as well go vegan at that point.
Is Arnold Schwarzenegger vegan?
If you want to talk about things in black or white, no, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not strictly vegan (see also ‘5 Celebrities You May Not Know Are Vegan‘). He has chosen to get the majority of his nutrition from a plant-based diet and is only eating meat occasionally. On top of that, he has cut out beef and cow’s milk completely.

Oh I like vegetables, they are what my food eats.
Oh, and he isn’t an actor turned bodybuilder, he is a bodybuilder turned actor.
A fairly good episode of Streets Of SF.
I spin up a few episodes every so often.
The soundtrack is good listening if you like that style of music.
Steroids played a big part in that as well.
Although I do not agree with him politically, he is one the reasons I still train with weights in my 60s.
I stay prepared to FIGHT for my freedoms !
Yep. His story is actually quite impressive.
As Bill Burr said “he should be unloading trucks in Transylvania.”
I had the Bodybuilding Encyclopedia and overtrained for years too.

Never drink liquids during meals. It dilutes your digestive juices. And for sure!!! Never ever drink iced liquids during meals. Iced tea etc. will give you incomplete digestion, thus more fats deposited in you. Allow an hour or two before drinking.
Exceptions are a hot soup during cold weather and black coffee after a fatty meal such as bacon and eggs, or a meaty dinner.
Reducing cholesterol has nothing to do with longevity. And he has more problems from steroids than anything else. I’m near Carnivore and doing great in my 60s. Best possible source of protein.
100%
Ginger tea, hot, helps digestion after a big meal.
“The highest lived populations tend to gather a lot plant proteins and fish.”
Myth.
Every hormone is generated via cholesterol. Inflammation is an issue, not dietary cholesterol intake.
I eat mainly Paleo.
Steroids
Vegetables are decorations for the steak.
He grew up in a landlocked country. He may not like seafood.
Pretty much. I’ll eat salads and broccoli, that’s about it.
Agree. Ginger tea is a good digestive. Ten years ago I was talking with the Haitians at the flea market. They make ginger tea by dicing up fresh ginger, put in a blender with water. Boil/simmer a bit and strain.
Ginger is firey, same as your digestive fire.
He wants to be a Girly Man ?
