I was interested to see that Boy George had lost so much weight by being on a vegan diet for two years and thought that was a good advertisement for veganism. However, to shift the last bit he has gone on to Amelia Freer's diet plan, or rather the Metabolic Balance Programme, which is not vegan and cannot be followed if you are vegan. So really, unless it's for the animals, I don't know whether the healthier lifestyle is really the draw it could be. After all a diet is for a few weeks after Christmas, a lifestyle should be for life.
