Bear Grylls says he feels ’embarrassed’ that he used to promote veganism — and now shuns vegetables completely.
The iconic adventurer and TV presenter, 48, claimed he’s ‘never felt stronger’ and that his skin and gut have ‘never been better’ after binning a plant-based diet.
Inspired by how our ancestors survived for millennia, Grylls eats red meat, blood, bone marrow, as well as salted butter, eggs, fruit and honey.
As well as veg, he avoids processed foods, bread and pasta.
But while Grylls claims the science stacks up, experts insist that vegan diets can be perfectly healthy and vegetables are key for a balanced diet.
Experts also say that despite red meat being a good protein source, too much can increase the risk of bowel cancer, while a recent Harvard University study found low-carb diets can increase the risk of early death.
