When Mike Shouhed prepared to turn 40, the Shahs of Sunset pal took on a personal challenge of sorts: He worked hard to clean up his diet, and hit the gym daily. Just call it the Shouhed Challenge (Mike did!) And even though he allows himself some indulgences — did you peep his massive birthday cake? — the Shahs pal is taking his challenge into 2019, basing his diet on fresh, healthy foods.
To kick off the New Year in #ShouhedChallenge style, Mike took to Instagram Stories on January 2 to show that he was still following the plan he's been advocating for.
In one photo, Mike showed himself at the gym and shared that he was on day two of a plant-based diet. "I practice what I preach!" he wrote. "Take notes." And in the next snap, he showed the plant-based snack he was about to chow down on. A vegan acai bowl sounds like a pretty sweet way to head into a new year, doesn't it?
So, we're taking notes on this mix of blueberries, bananas, almonds, and hemp granola.
