Last week on the well known and loved Oprah Winfrey Show, chat show host Oprah and 378 members of HARPO (Human and Animal Research Protections Office) staff started a one week vegan challenge. This involves them eating a diet completely free from meat and all foods containing animal products, such as mayonnaise, honey, cake and dairy products for a full seven days.

This isn’t the first time Oprah has undertaken a vegan diet. She first went vegan when she read Kathy Freston’s book Quantum Wellness three years ago, when she stuck to the free-from vegan diet for three weeks.

Oprah reverted back to eating a carnivore diet once the three weeks were up, but still deemed the dietary experiment a success. During her stint as a vegan she told the press "I’m eating a far more plant-based diet," and eating "Less processed food."

While a vegan diet is often considered healthier than one that contains animal products, and is far better for the environment too, many people are put off of trying to eat vegan because of the strict dietary rules.

Most people think that eating a vegan diet involves hours of cooking bland meals from scratch made from lentils, brown rice and vegetables. They also quite often think sweet treats such as cake are most certainly off limits. However, as the vegan diet has increased in popularity it seems that the food industry has finally caught up with the demand for free from food items.

Although most know they can easily find alternatives for staple food items such as milk, they don’t know that it’s also much easier than ever before to find free from cakes too. So now it is possible to occasionally indulge your sweet tooth thanks to the creation of vegan cakes- meaning that the vegan diet is no longer radically different to the carnivore one. So with just a few slight tweaks to your diet you too can improve your health, and do your bit for the planet- just like Oprah!
