Urban Eats & Treats
Shaquille O’Neal is looking to fuel his 7’1″, 320-pound body with NO meat — the NBA legend says he’s trying his best to go vegan!!
Shaq opened up about his health ambitions with comedian Rip Micheals at Slutty Vegan in Atlanta … where he explained on the “Urban Eats and Treats” show how he’s able to eat his favorite foods and still look out for his body at the same time.
“My friend introduced me to this place and it’s healthy,” the Big Aristotle said in the clip. “For example, I like cheeseburgers, right. But the way she cooks it, I can eat healthy, but still feel like I’m eating bad.”
O’Neal — who played over 20 years in the NBA — says the “Slutty Vegan” joint in Atlanta allows him to eat his favorite foods without the guilt.
“Whenever I want to cheat, I come over here and cheat,” Shaq added.
FYI — ‘Urban Eats & Treats’ is a new food and travel series from Kevin Hart‘s Laugh Out Loud Studios … where Micheals and his celebrity friends search for the best food and laughs in their respective cities.
Some of the show’s featured guests include Shaq, DJ Envy, Bill Bellamy, Nick Cannon, Russell Peters, Deon Cole, Tamar Braxton and more.
The big fella says his healthy diet would usually consist of chicken salad, steak, and fish … but now that he’s trying to make changes, the S.V. restaurant helps him feel like he’s pigging out.
Of course, Shaq is involved with multiple businesses as an owner — Papa John’s, Auntie Anne’s, and Krispy Kreme to name a few … but surprisingly, he says he doesn’t go there for his junk food.
The Diesel also revealed what his go-to food to cook is … and college kids will be able to relate!!
