New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara said he weighs 211 pounds right now, which is right about in line with the 212-215-pound range he usually falls in during the offseason.

But if he looks like hes carrying the weight a little differently, there might be some truth behind that. This offseason, Kamara re-tooled his diet, cutting out things like sodium and some sugars and shifting toward plant-based foods.

I got with my chef and just put together a plan and stuck to it and am still sticking to it, Kamara said. I think that changed my body a little bit, look a little bit different, but all in all still good, still positive."

Kamara is not the only Saints player to alter the way he ate this offseason.

Quarterback Jameis Winston embraced a modified vegan diet he said he allows himself one day per week to cheat and eat meat and he reported to the Saints facility looking as trim as he ever has in an NFL uniform.

Its just changed my body drastically, Winston said in his introductory news conference with the team.

Kamara and Winston join a handful of other high-profile NFL players who have embraced a plant-based (or mostly plant-based) diet, including Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu.
