He told the Daily Star: \"When Frankie & Bennys first approached me to rebrand to Veg Loaf I said no way in hell.<\/p>\n
\"But, Id do anything for our planet and dropping meat for veg, even for just one day a week, can make a huge difference.<\/p>\n
The Bat Out Of Hell singer is no stranger to vegetarianism, having stopped eating meat for 11 years in the past.<\/p>\n

I said, Take this away and I want vegetables and a salad, and from that moment I became vegetarian for maybe 11 years.<\/p>\n
He returned to a meat diet after health reasons forced him to lose weight.<\/p>\n
I stopped because I wanted to lose weight,\" said the star. \"The carbohydrate diet worked to a point, I lost 30lb but it went right back on. I lost 70lb on the low-fat no-sugar diet.<\/p>\n

You dont need calories, you need a lifestyle change and less fat.<\/p>\n
Veganuary encourages people to try a vegan diet for a month at the start of the year.<\/p>\n
It's typically tied to New Year resolutions as people look to change their ways and become more healthy.<\/p>\n
The month-long event is dedicated to trying to change people's attitudes, help the planet and the animals as well as improve your own personal well-being.<\/p>\n
A vegan's diet consists solely of beans, grains, fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables.<\/p>\n
However, there are many substitutes which can be used in place of animal-based ingredients.<\/p>\n
For example, cow's milk can be replaced with soy milk, and vegan margarine is a great alternative to butter.<\/p>\n
