CHAKA KHAN — VEGAN DIET

Hailed as the Queen of Funk-Soul, Chaka Khan first shined on to the music scene in the ’70s as the frontwoman of the band, Rufus. She went on to pursue a solo career and become a 10-time Grammy Award winner. She was also named the first R&B artist to have a crossover song featuring a rapper, with her 1984 hit I Feel for You. Since then, Khan has continued to be in the limelight and produced more hit songs.

Through her four decades of entertaining, the singer went through a hectic period that she almost lost track of her health. “When I developed diabetes, I said, ‘A change is coming.'” Khan revealed in an interview. True enough, she dropped over 75 pounds and was able to maintain it. She credits a vegan diet, a strict liquid diet, and protein for her weight loss.
