A new job advert is offering to pay three Brits £2,000 ($2,600) each to go vegan for a month for a health trial.

Research agency called VeganLiftz is hoping to show that a plant-based diet doesn't have a negative effect on health and fitness levels.

To take part, candidates need to be from Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool or London - these cities were pin pointed as the ones with the most meat-eaters. They will have to keep a log of their experience to be used as a case study.

The three candidates' journeys of being vegan for 30 days will hope to demonstrate any drawbacks too.

It's hoped the real-life accounts of going plant-based will help the public to make more informed choices with their diets.

The three successful applicants will each have a vegan diet plan to refer to through the month, and then must do a remote health and fitness check, both before and after. They will also have to have photos of themselves to see any visible changes that have happened to their body.

The ad says the company hopes to start the trial in September.

Apart from their new diet, the candidates will have to go about everything as normal - except what they eat and drink. No other lifestyle changes are allowed.

To be successful in their application, people must be aged 18 to 60 years old, not have any underlying health problems - such as obesity, diabetes or hyperthyroidism. They need to have had a meat-based diet for at least a year.

Jason Hughes, founder of VeganLiftz.com, said: "Our main aim at VeganLiftz.com is to debunk any myths out there around veganism and help our community educate themselves on a plant-based lifestyle.

"As such, we are always looking to demonstrate the real-life affects being vegan has on a person's health and fitness - it's important to us that the case studies we produce from our latest recruits are honest, relatable and informative, and both negatives and positives are reported on so people can make an informed decision on whether veganism is right for them, and how best to implement it.

"We're super excited to hire our three carnivores and to see the results of the study! To get maximum results, we think it's important to hire people who have previously eaten a lot of meat and so our research into the top meat-loving cities in the UK came in handy here. If this sounds like you and you're looking to try something new and transform your lifestyle, please apply now!"

Meat lovers who want to apply for the job can do so on the VeganLiftz website, here.
