Celtic fan's football colour diet

A Celtic football fan has vowed to only eat green and white food

A football fan told how he has taken his love for his team to the limit by vowing to only eat food in his club's colours for the whole of the season.

Celtic supporter Scott Campbell, 20, has taken up a challenge from his housemates to only eat green or white foods for the 2006/07 season.

The Edinburgh University student has been living on a diet of salad, vegetables and white meat.

He said he was confident he would complete the 10 month challenge.

It's been a bit of a struggle but it is a healthy option and I've lost a bit of weight Scott Campbell Celtic supporter Send us your views

Mr Campbell, originally from Glasgow, said: "Like all these things, it started on a drunken night out when one of the guys I was living with dared me to it. I'm quite stubborn, so I agreed.

"In the morning I'll just have apples, and I'm also allowed bananas because the inside of them is white, and a glass of milk.

"For lunch I just have salad and at night I'll have fish or a chicken dish.

"It's been a bit of a struggle but it is a healthy option and I've lost a bit of weight. My friends have been quite supportive and have been keeping an eye on me.

"I'm going to struggle through Christmas - I think that'll be the toughest time - but I should manage to the end of the season."

To help with the challenge, he has ordered six-month bulk supply of salad cream.

"I'm getting on okay, it's just the blandness of the vegetables gets to me," he added.
