I've been a vegan for over a year now. Like anything else, you can still eat crappily and be a vegan, and it took a little while to figure out that calorie-dense/nutrient poor food can keep a person from meeting goals whether the foods are vegan, omni, or anything in between. I've since lost over 40 pounds, and am fitter,…

My Mizuno Wave Inspires are finally on their way out the door, and I got fitted for a new pair of Brooks Adrenaline 9s (a return to the Adrenline's after a several year hiatus). I have a pair of Asics GT 2160s I got for trail running on sale, which I have yet to try out.

Running a PR 5K and doing something "crazy" on request for the finish line photographer.

Way to go!

Regardless of your opinion on Tony Horton (personally, I love the guy, but I know he can be polarizing), here's a YouTube video that totally changed the way my wife went about doing push-ups when we do P90X together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NFVD7-2dx0

I didn't see this concept mentioned yet, so I'll add to the discussion. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). The nut-shell version is, that (as the name implies), we burn calories throughout the day when not exercising (I know, everybody knows this). There have been a few large studies (I have on in mind in…

Saw this today after reading an article. I never saw his original special, but there are definitely lessons to be drawn from his story. I hope for the best for him, and good luck to you as you continue your journey.

Great job!

Couple of other sites I didn't see mentioned: http://www.chefchloe.com/ http://www.theppk.com/recipes/ http://vegandad.blogspot.com/ Also, Engine 2 was mentioned, check out their site, which has a load of recipes. They have a Pinterest site as well, which my wife frequents, with a load of recipes posted. The Forks over…

Other resources I didn't see mentioned above: - Bodybuilding.com has a TON of different routines for all sorts of equipment specific circumstances. - If you happen to have an iPhone/iOS device, or an Android device, Fitness Buddy is a handy app. I used it while traveling for a few weeks to put together some body-weight and…

Great job!

Miller Light doesn't make me angry. I currently live in Kentucky, and Kentucky Light (brewed by Alltech Lexington Brewing Co.) is pretty tasty. Otherwise, I tend to agree with the poster above who said they'd rather drink one good beer than two crappy ones.

Somebody just posted a recipe that sounds great for a guacamole chicken salad. Check it out if interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/621024-guacamole-chicken-salad-you-won-t-be-sorry-you-tried-this?hl=avacado+chicken&page=1#posts-8953554

I've been roasting tons of veggies in the oven, typically without any oil, and sprinkled with whatever spice suits my current whims--pepper, cayenne, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chili powder, etc. Zucchini, acorn squash, brussel sprouts, and asparagus get this treatment with varying degrees of…

Zucchini, cucumbers, acorn squash, and a myriad of other fresh fruits and vegetables. There is evidence linking high potassium intake and reductions in blood pressure ( 2-3.1 point of the top number, the systolic blood pressure). Added bonuses to eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables include a likely reduction in…

Haven't done it, but it looks like it could be a solid program. Really, I'm for anything that gets a person moving!

Current recommendations for optimal sodium intake in the U.S. for a perfectly healthy Caucasian* adult under the age of 51 years is 2300mg of sodium/day (as an upper limit). This has been linked to a statistically significant reduction in blood pressure (anywhere from 2.7-5 mmHg in systolic blood pressure in people who…

That's a shame, it was one of the most enjoyable races I've done. Like a big mobile party for 10K with 55K people invited. 10K is probably my favorite distance, but it seems 5Ks and then marathons/half-marathons are more ubiquitous. I'll run 5Ks if the entry-fee is $20 or less; paying more (unless it's for a particularly…

Getting your nutrition goals in check is the foundation of weight loss. If you exercise for hours a day but replace every last calorie burned, your WEIGHT will remain essentially stable, though your body composition might change significantly. But just like a foundation without walls or a roof isn't a house, diet without…

Adding to the thought by scapez regarding thyroid dysfunction: Hair loss can occur in cycles which can turn out to be perfectly "normal", though no less distressing. Having said that, hair loss can also be a result of any of a variety of endocrine abnormalities/hormone imbalances. An overactive or underactive thyroid is…
