On Thursday, Harper took to Instagram to hit back at "awful" Instagram commenters claiming he would have another heart attack from eating fish.

"To all the vegans out there that follow me and tell me that I'm gonna have another heart attack if I continue to eat fish, PLEASE refrain from posting those awful comments," Harper captioned a snapshot of a veggie burger with asparagus. "They are just plain hateful and mean. I will continue to do what my doctors feel is right for me in my situation so please just unfollow me instead. In the words of one of my best friends, you do you and I'll do me. #heartattacksurvivor#noroomforhaters."

Today's lunch, I started with a split pea soup and went with the veggie burger with asparagus. On a side note, to all the vegans out there that follow me and tell me that I'm gonna have another heart attack if I continue to eat fish, PLEASE refrain from posting those awful comments. They are just plain hateful and mean. I will continue to do what my doctors feel is right for me in my situation so please just unfollow me instead. In the words of one of my best friends, you do you and I'll do me. #heartattacksurvivor #noroomforhaters

Harper's food rant was in response to a post on Thursday of his "heart healthy lunch" at the Mercer Hotel in New York.

While some were slamming Harper's fish dish, others came to his defense.

"Nobody has a right to criticize, or lecture someone about their choices @trainerbob is making an informed choice at the recommendation of physicians who know his prognosis better than a bunch of social media followers," one fan wrote. "If you can't support a person on the road to recovery you are best to stay away."

I had such a special lunch today. I saw my friend @gillesnyc who runs my home away from home @mercerhotelnyc Gilles got the chef to make a heart healthy lunch and it was DELICIOUS!! I'm lucky to have such good friends. ❤🖤🖤❤
