This is a guest post by Matt Ruscigno, who writes the blog True Love Health. True or False: The iron that our bodies require is the same element found in a cast-iron skillet. This is a real true or false question on my college exam, and it fools a surprising number of my students. Iron…

Surprise! After months of meticulous planning and arduous rehearsals, the No Meat Athlete podcast is finally up and running. (Note: We didn't actually do any of that; it was mostly just procrastinating on my part.) Oh, and by up and running, I mean "not yet on iTunes." But working on it, and hopefully we'll be…

“Aside from the jet packs and the monkey overlords, one of the things that science fiction promised us in the new millennium was food in convenient pill form. But reality cheated our imaginations on every level. Instead of jet packs, we got Segway scooters. Instead of monkeys, we got the Bush administration. And instead of…

You hear a lot about how to lose weight. Not so many of us are trying to gain it. This article would be so much cooler if it had a headline like, "How I Gained 20 Pounds of Muscle in 30 Days (On a Vegan Diet)." And if it included dazzling before and after photos,…
I'd love to run, but I just hate running! Without a doubt, the best part of this weekend, when I got to meet so many of you who stopped by our booth at the DC Vegfest, was getting to really learn what you're about — what inspires you, what's going really well for you, and…

In 2009, I made a New Year’s Resolution to run my first 5K. I assumed I’d run the 5K, cross the accomplishment off my bucket list, and go back to being a couch potato. But that didn’t happen. Instead, that 5K led to something else: 20 months after making that resolution, I completed my first…

If you're one of the 2500 or so people who now owns a No Meat Athlete shirt, chances are good that you got it via the simple sales page on my blog. (You know, the homemade one that probably left you with the feeling that it was about a 50/50 proposition between you actually getting…
You might remember a guest post about fruitarianism on No Meat Athlete last year that drew a lot of negative comments, mostly dismissing the diet as a fad. But Ben Benulis wanted to see if there was something more to it. Here he is with a post about his experiment. As vegetarians and vegans, most…

If you're the type that reads blogs about vegetarian and vegan fitness, then you already know who Brendan Brazier is. He's been a friend of this site since the very beginning, so of course you've already checked out our first interview, our second interview, and our third interview, right? Okay, so if by chance you…
Recipes are great. But formulas are where it's at. Recipes allow even brand new cooks to produce something that's really good, or at least something that doesn't entirely suck. You can take a recipe that an expert chef created and reproduce in your home exactly the same dish, without the years of training. Score. The…
