Fellow Five Guys Investors Breathe Sigh: Phil Confirms Falling Off Vegetarian Wagon

Talking to the wretches in Abu Dhabi, Mickelson verifies that he is no longer a vegetarian, surely to the delight of his fellow Five Guys investors.

“I was a strict vegetarian for five months and that went okay but, ultimately, it was doomed to fail,” said Mickelson on the eve of today’s first round. “I learned a lot from that as far as eating habits and diet so I’ve implemented a lot of the things from that.

“I continue to eat a lot more vegetables than I have in the past and I’m trying to have a better balance now instead of all protein. But as far as the arthritis, that’s something that will never go away but I was fortunate because I got on it right away before there was permanent damage to any joints.”
