Jay-z

Jay Z is going vegan until Christmas Day.

It seems that the rapper is in the process of undergoing a “spiritual and physical cleanse” and has decided to dispense with any food that comes from animals for 22 days.

“Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you've found the way,” the “Young Forever” singer wrote on his Life and Times blog. He also added that his wife, Beyoncé Knowles, will be joining him.

“On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday, I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!!” declared the rapper.

Jay confessed that he got the idea from a vegan friend. After trying the “plan-based breakfast” that his pal recommended, Jay-Z realized that he actually enjoyed the switch, thus determining him to overhaul his entire diet.

“It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought,” the rapper revealed. The music mogul also added that the time of year played a very important part, too. According to his statements, he just wanted to embark on the challenge before turning another year older. The musicians seems so determined to go through with the new diet, that he even asked his fans for tips that could help during the journey

“Why now?” he asked. “There's something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge; 22 (2+2=4) coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas day.It just feels right! So you can call it a spiritual and physical cleanse. I will post my progress. Any professional vegans out there that have any great food spots please help out! Please ha. I don't know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan, a full plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We'll see. Best of luck and health!" he signed off, adding, "P.S. B is also joining me."
