I heart phytochemicals. They are found liberally in most of the foods I eat.

I understand.

I just started using Strava this year. I love it!

Nice work!

another of my favorites is fatfreevegan.com

1 handful grapenuts 2 handfuls rolled oats 4 pinches of ground flax seeds enough almond milk to get it wet topped with 1 sliced banana followed by 1 grapefruit 500 calories 150 carbs 12 fat 21 protein 25 fiber (the most important number in dieting, IMO) 0 cholesterol

It's pretty funny. But the recipes are bangin!

Paleo.

7-8 months (Technically, I'm not a vegan. I eat a whold foods plant based diet, essentially a vegan diet. I do this for health reasons, not ethical or moral reasons.) I watched Forks Over Knives, then validated the claims made in the documentary by several channels and lines of evidence. I decided to try it for 3 weeks. At…

Haha I know a whole lot of vegan atheletes that would dispute your assertion. Rip Esselstyn, Carl Lewis, Mac Danzig, etc, etc.

Focus on the“New Four Food Groups” The New Four Food Groups—grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruit—can provide you with all the nutrients you need. To meet your nutrient needs, select 8 servings of grains, 3 servings of legumes, at least 4 servings of vegetables, and 3 servings of fruit daily. Its important to vary the…

I have an older S725i that I use on every training. I agree with the Doc about really tracking your fitness, and that the R-R feature is a number, but it's not really accurate, more like better than a guess. If we are talking about the R-R value used in the Fitness Test feature. I've had my mVO2 measured in the lab, and…

I'm not a vegan but I eat a vegan diet.

Even if you were insulin resistant or even a diabetic, a whole foods plant based diet is the best way to eat. So if you are eating whole fruit, you are also getting fiber and ultimately displacing fat calories in your diet. Limit fruit juices and eat whole pieces of fruit instead. Aim for 3 servings of fruit each day. A…

To the point of the OP question, this video deals objectively with the issue: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eating-healthy-on-a-budget/

Fair point. But I'm a 53 year old man living alone. Its not that tough to learn. What I find interesting is how our society full of otherwise bright people haven't been educated about the disasterous consequences of eating animal products. That fact is irrefutable, yet its buried by otherwise educated people. Who really is…

My grown daughter lives in Jarabacoa (DR). She lives Grand for $400/month (eating out all the time). But unfortunately she does make poor food choices. The lifestyle of the average person in the DR is better for health than in North America for sure. For 5 months now I've been eating whole foods plant based. I live in the…

Polar FT40. It gives you the fitness test feature and you can upload your training to polarpersonaltrainer.com.

I would guess its the workout, but that's just a personal opinion. Was your overall calorie intake normal (your increased normal) during the day? And how are you feeling now? I doubt its a blood sugar issue (hypoglycemia). During a workout, endurance athletes with a hypoglycemic event call it the "Bonk". Your percieved…

A good place to start for someone who wants to learn about the Vegetarian diet is: http://pcrm.org/health/diets/vsk/vegetarian-starter-kit

Dietary LDL cholesterol is THE CAUSE of atherosclerosis. Sorry to burst your bubble. Eating the S A D way will make you fat and sick. I know countless people who prove this, including my own parents.

It should also be noted that the average meat consumption of the entire US population has gone down on a per capita basis. Less demand reduces supply. We are having a cumulative impact.

You better look at www.heartattackproof.com. Caldwell Esselstyn, who was head of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic (where heart bypass surgery was invented) and a former surgeon, presents "irrefutable evidence that all CHD can be prevented", or words to that effect. I'm not claiming that you can completely avoid heart…

Thank you. Love this response.

To the OP question: Where do vegetarians get their protein? I eat whole foods, plant-based. I do not eat meat, eggs, cheese or dairy, and I do not add oil to my food, and I avoid processed foods as much as I possibly can. I get my protein primarily from legumes, I eat them once per day minimum, usually twice.…

RE your comment about lifestyle... do research on the Adventist Study done at Loma Linda University in CA. You will find that this cohort study took people who had very similar lifestyles, they weren't smokers, didn't drink alcohol, and were generally active, happy people, and separated them by their diet. The closer they…

That's a good one. Look in the mirror and compare your teeth, first to a feline (a carnivore), and then to a gorilla (an herbivore). You tell me which is closer. Because someone labeled two of your teeth "canine" because of the position in the human mouth says little about their function. Carnivores' teeth are made to kill…

Forks Over Knives Food, Inc. King Corn Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead

That guy isn't a pro. He's a guy who writes a blog and has an opinion. That's what I am.

Except for the causal link between dietary cholesterol raising serum cholesterol. And elevated serum cholesterol causing atherosclerosis. So yeah, if you are happy with having a little atherosclerosis, eat cholesterol. If you don't want the condition/disease, eliminate it from your diet. Everyone has the choice. But don't…
