Countless celebrities, athletes, and public figures have made the switch to a plant based diet, and I predict that list will grow exponentially over the next few years!

The following is my list of the top 5 Sexy Fit Vegan™ MALE Celebrities of 2013. Until now, it seemed like females were in the majority when it came to taking the leap to a vegan diet. Now however, men are stepping into the spotlight as proudly vegan! This list is based on my latest research, and yes, there’s always a chance people will slip up, or try a different diet at some point. However, I picked 5 that seem truly devoted to maintaining a vegan lifestyle, so hopefully, they will all continue with their plant based diets for the rest of their lives!

1. Woody Harrelson, who was named PETA’s Sexiest Male Celebrity Vegetarian of 2012 told Esquire that it was in NY, when he was just starting out as an actor that he became vegan, “I was on a bus and some girl sees me blowing my nose. I had acne all over my face, which I’d had for years and years. And she’s like: ‘Hey, you’re lactose intolerant. If you quit dairy, all these symptoms you got will be gone in three days.’ I was like twenty-four. And I was like, No way. But three days later: gone.
2. Mac Danzig: This well known UFC fighter told Men’s Fitness magazine that he gave up dairy first in 1999 because he thought it was causing him painful ear infections. Then, in 2004, he cut meat from his diet as well. He sets a great example, showing that athletes can excel on a vegan diet… and mixed martial arts is one of the most demanding sports on the body there is (from my own practice I certainly know the strength and energy it takes
3. Russell Brandt: According to examiner.com, this British comedian who has been vegetarian since age 14, became vegan after watching the documentary Forks Over Knives in 2011.
4. Steve-O, yes, the Jackass guy, has been vocal about his decision to go vegan about four years ago. He talks passionately about the harmful effects and practices of factory farming as well as his health. He discusses his transition in What Came Before, a documentary about three animals who either escaped or were rescued from factory farms.
5. Jason Mraz, the singer who recently won “Favorite Male Artist” at the People’s Choice Awards, is enthusiastically sharing how his vegan diet has changed his life on his blog. He writes, “I ride longer distances on my bike, can do more pull-ups than ever, and my brain seems to have a larger capacity for new projects, problem solving, songwriting, and fielding random questions… It also makes me a lot better in bed.” And who doesn’t want that?!!
6. Mickey Madden, bassist for Maroon 5 told PETA in an interview, “I have a general affection for animals and a respect for all living things. And having those sparks of interest led me to do some research, and when you dig a little below the surface, what you find is really disturbing. It kind of makes veganism seem like the only option. I can’t even conceive of going back to eating animal products at all.”
7. Thomas Dekker, star of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, says it was an experience at a pig farm when he was eight years old that turned  on to a vegan diet by age 12, according to The Vegetarian Times.

So there you have it… proof that REAL MEN EAT PLANTS!
