Alright, you’re going to love this one! Last week I talked on the phone to Brendan Brazier, the vegan professional Ironman triathlete, author of Thrive and Thrive Fitness, and creator of the Vega line of sports nutrition products that I often review on No Meat Athlete. I’ve been collecting questions ever since my first interview…

Hello No Meat Athletes! It’s Christine here for Sweet-Tooth Friday, and this week’s edition is totally gluten-free. I’ll start with a step-by-step intro on how to take the gluten (and animal products) out of your favorite baked goods, and then we’ll give it a whirl with some fabulous chocolate chip cookies! The Gluten-Free Invasion By…

Susan Lacke is back this week with more discoveries from her new life as an endurance athlete. After running her first marathon in February, Susan is currently training for Ironman Wisconsin 2010. At the start of my last post, Matt introduced me as a “vegetarian marathoner and 2010 Ironman hopeful.” Looking at those words felt…surreal….

No doubt about it: Pizza is a very guilty pleasure. But it’s one that we often rationalize. After all, it’s vegetarian (and there are plenty of cheeseless, vegan versions), and with that old “four food groups” argument kids are so fond of, it’s easy to make pizza sound pretty healthy. But let’s face it. Pizza…
Terry Walters’ Clean Food is the best cookbook I’ve used in a long time. Why? Mainly because it’s full of recipes for real food. Clean Food isn’t about pounding soy into various meat-shapes and pretending it doesn’t taste like soy (which tastes, mostly, like nothing). It’s about getting fresh, seasonal, nutritious foods and preparing them…

I generally don’t write about my runs here, since my goal is for you to stay awake when you read No Meat Athlete. After all, if training were exciting, there wouldn’t be a need for so many amazing inventions to help us get six-pack abs while we sit at a desk, sleep, eat, and/or take…
Hello again! This is Christine here with a different kind of Sweet-Tooth Friday post; in fact, it’s down-right salty! Sodium made some controversial headlines recently, and as a healthy-eater I was shocked by how much my pantry was affected by the news. No Deli-Meat, No Cheeto’s, No Problem? Salt is an essential part of survival,…

I get the question all the time. What the **** do you vegetarians eat for lunch? My answer, “leftovers,” has always felt unsatisfying. To the person asking, usually an intrigued, maybe-one-day vegetarian, this makes it seem hard. What if you didn’t cook the night before? Are you stuck with salad? To better answer the question…
