Embracing The V
Filed under: Oprah Winfrey
For 21 whole days, Oprah is going vegan.
No meat. No fish. No dairy.
Nada!
The queen of talk was reportedly inspired by Kathy Freston's book Quantum Wellness and says, "this 21-day cleanse gives me a chance to think about [eating] differently and see what my attachments are to certain kinds of foods – and what I'm willing to do to change.
You can keep up with Oprah's vegan experiment on her blog.
So far, she says, "Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying."
Have fun on that, O, but we need our chorizo to feel happy.
Salchichon!

First.
eat me
seitan chorizo. so good! look it up
it's really not that hard to eat vegan, a lot of choices are available… HOWEVER I love me some steak and cheese and I will not ever be a vegetarian.
NOW PEREZ…EVEN I KNEW ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU!!!
first
Honey, we could all use a little (big) chorizo! Oh, are you talking about the food?
Perez: menos chorizo, more exercise! O te referis a el otro "chorizo" jajaja!
Being vegan isn't hard
Hey, if I had a home chef and told them to cook wonderful veg meals for 3 weeks I could be a hero too. What a lameass
first??
almost first…
Fuck Oprah and what she eats. Get a life.
SOYRIZO is just as good!!
Not another diet!
Easy being vegan when you have a friggin' personal chef at your beckon call.
LMFAO fuck yeah we need our dang salchichon!
“Fue a la nevera y se comió mi salchichón”
Jossie Esteban y la Patrulla 15 niggaaa! LOL Ur cuban yo you gotta know that shit. haha
i need chorizo to keep me happy to. but not the kind you scramble with eggs. OH!
Congrats Oppie! but i cannot imagine meals without meat!
Oprah will never make it the whole 21 days. She is a food addict and will need her comfort food in about 2 days. Although she will claim she stayed vegan the whole time. As for the chorizo, the soy version is killer yah for soyorizo. Chorizo is mostly glands from the pig and it tastes good but I cannot eat that anymore. Hypothalomous glands make you fat.
OMG - FIRST - YEEESSSSSS : )
? did this thing change.?
PEREZ there's soyrizo!!!!!
OINK !!!! I understand MOST other pigs are vegetarian also.
chorizo lmao
I suppose if I had a personal chef preparing all vegan meals for me… I could do it too.
Vegan is the best way to live! Who0o0o0t!
It's called SOY-RIZO! I like it better than chorizo.
HELL YEAH WE CUBANS NEED OUR MEAT. I LIKE MY CHORIZO WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS. WHAT ABOUT YOU PEREZ?
Anything would be easy when you have shit loads of money an people to do the hard work for you. It would be easy for me too if I had a shopper and a cook and all I had to do was sit my fat black ass down to eat!
PEREZ!!! SOYRIZO.. ITS REALLY GOOD.. TRY IT..
I will stick to eating the problem, not the solution lolol
I'd love to have that experience too…….do you think she'd send her chef over to my house too?….Oprah , I love you, but ….
She has a cook….she is out of touch….so done with her..
Oprah sucks. Her show about this will probably air with her in a puppy fur coat and panda boots. She'll eat a baby seal. Then nuke a gay whale for Jesus. I wish she would just retire to that whole town she bought in the midwest where Steadman is being held
How wonderful! Oprah is the best! Hopefully more people will think about what they eat, and consider going either vegetarian or vegan. It's the best thing in the world!
Soyrizo is great. Did you know there is cartilage, brains, intestines in real chorizo? Look at the ingredients. I've never eaten it since.
Yay for Oprah, always trying out new things. No doubt she'll lose a ton of weight.
Her personal chef could probably make cardboard taste yummy.
With the right food prep, anyone could do it.
hahahahaha!!! I love u Perez!!anybody can't live without un gran chorizo. yummi!!
Must be easy to go vegan when you have a personal chef who specializes in vegan cuisine. I'd like to see her try it while having to cook the meals herself.
Wow, I think this is super news. It is a great, permanent way to lose weight, instead of a "diet." Not to mention all the animals she'll save. I've never been a big fan of Oprah until her show on puppy mills and dog breeders, now this. I wish her all the best with this, and she is setting a good, healthy example for her fans.
I CANNOT STAND OPRAH SHE THINKS SHE IS GOD AND SHES REALLY JUST A FREAKSHOW
I swar I LOVE YOU Perezito!!!! Chorizo and salchichon LMAO you are best. Lots of love from a cubanita from Miami. Keep representing
any compassionate person with a little bit of conviction can easily go vegan. you don't need a personal chef.
P-nasty: you can buy soy-meatless chorizo, it is quite delish.
I wove you.
that's why you're so fat..chorizo-man
perez! there is delish vegan chorizo, you have to try it! whole foods.
I'm actually doing it too. It’s going well.
The 21 day body cleanse, also excludes, caffeine, sweets, nicotine, and alcohol; along with your before mentioned meat, fish and dairy.
Now that cuts like everything out. No meat is a little hard though, because dad made ribs the other night, and those are my fave, so I had to cave and have one, but other than that I’ve been doing great, and I feel great.
I went vegan for almost two months and couldn't handle it. Red meat, chicken, fish, and dairy are my friends… but in moderation.
Anyway, it's also easier to go vegan when you have a chef that cooks for you all the time.
Ps, Dear Oprah, I've lost respect for you because of your lame 2 day Tom Cruise Ass licking fest… It was an embarrassment and made you look like a fool.
Yeah…it'd be easy to eat clean when you have the best chefs around preparing your meals…and not having to buy store name brand products!!
Hey, if I had a home chef and thousands of dollars to spend on all organic, great food, i could be vegan for life! This whole thing is BS in my opinion!
What a Bobtard she is - 51 Flavors of Retard!
Yay for O!
so what? I was vegan for four years. not that hard.
Robin Quivers did this on the Howard Stern Show 6 months ago.
~yawn~
Different vegan book (21 Pounds in 21 Days by Roni De Luz), but same idea.
Oprah needs to stop these fads.
Try Soyrizo, Perez. It is BETTER than real Chroizo. Really good stuff, and you wouldn't even know the difference. See, you too can be vegan!
Yeah - because it's really hard to ORDER your chef to make you Vegan. Lot's of effort on her part. Fat shit bitch.
I bet Awprah sneaks some tuna.
There she goes again! This monster that is Oprah, can not stand to be away from the lime light. She thinks she's gods gift to manking. I can't stand what a fucking hypocrite she is.
She is fat!..I live in Chicago and I've seen her in the city, you'd be amazed what her people will do to a camera to make her look sort-of slim.
Now she wants to be a vegan because it is the "IT" thing to do these days. She has people that make her food and wipe her ass, of course it will be easy for her.
yea, when wahbama and O take over the world, we will all be vegan. Welcome to Change! He just told us, we can't eat what we want, drive a SUV and keep our homes at 72.. Sounds just like Jimmy Carter………………..hope you enjoy the misery index, kids.
I feel unsatisfied just thinking about living a vegan life. Why get protein with pills when you can get it the old fashion way…from MEAT! Well, its only 21 days. Good luck Oprah.
perezzzzzzzz
Please support my father is spent his 9th day hunger strike today
his web site www.lodd.fr (english speaking)
it's easy to go vegan/organic when you are RICH, can afford nutricious food, and have your own personal short-order chef. not so easy when you are working class and drive past the dollar menu at mc donald's on your way home from a day of hard labor.
It's also a NO CAFFEINE, NO SUGAR, NO ALCOHOL 21-day plan! It HAS to be tough!
My husband discovered Chorizo in Sarasota, FL, and made a most delicious vegetarian meal with it. We cannot find it in Virginia!

haha chorizo
I really don't understand why so many people are being negative, if she has the resources to do so, I think that it's really cool that she does. Whether or not she has a chef do it for her, I still think it will be something of a challenge. Stop hating on a woman who has done so much good for so many people, it's not good for you.
oprah is the LAST person i want to hear talk about food or give me advice on what to eat - up/down/up/down/up/down - freakin' human yoyo!
Do a Head Count of her DOGS before she starts this……………….
Veganism isn't difficult or daunting (even for those of us without having personal chefs and mattresses stuffed with Cash). Vegan food is easy and super cheap too! I've been preparing, purchasing and serving my own vegan food since I was 13. With whole grains, dried beans and seasonal vegetables you can eat for pennies.
NEWSFLASH–ALL PIGS EAT CORN!
She has personal CHEFS to cook vegan for her, so she can "experiment" on another diet. Remember, she said the said great things about Slim Fast.
Uh, vegans get protein from soy-based products like tofu and tempeh, as well as beans, nuts, etc… Not from "pills." Protein comes in many forms, not just from dead animals.
wow good for oprah!!
Who gives a fuck? I don't care if she went "chitlin" or "pickled pigs feet"…..She is still worthless as tits on a boar hog…
SOYRIZO, PEREZ, SOYRIZO!!!!!
Re: Vegan – Your body cleaves proteins you eat into their derivative amino acids using various proteases…And uses these to build functional proteins of its own by attaching these amino acids to their respective tRNA molecules which are brought to the ribosome during translation of an mRNA transcript and bound by peptide bond formation in a dehydrolysis reaction where a single hydrogen is removed from the amino group and a hydroxyl is removed from the carboxyl end to form a covalent bond…Don't you remember the P and A site in the ribosome?
