Chia seeds are all over the health blogosphere these days, so much so that I was beginning to think they were a fad superfood. But then Brendan Brazier included them in Thrive Fitness, and with all the research he does for his books and career, I tend to trust ol' B-squared when it comes to [...]

Thrive Fitness
Before I get to what Brendan Brazier's Thrive Fitness is, let me start with what it isn't. It's not a diet plan: Thrive, Brendan's first book, already went there. And while I consider Thrive to be somewhat revolutionary in its comprehensive treatment of the vegan diet for athletes, Thrive Fitness isn't going to change the [...]
You know you make me wanna sprout
Procrastination. It sucks. Destroyer of dreams and goals, and responsible for hundreds of billions of deaths each year in the United States alone.
Worse, it has prevented me from sprouting beans and seeds for the past six months. When I first read Brendan Brazier's Thrive while on vacation last summer, I couldn't wait to get home [...]
Vega Vibrancy Bars
I have officially decided that Vega is my favorite health food brand. Everything I've tried from them has been great. I think having pro triathlete Brendan Brazier (see my interview with him here) behind the company helps a lot. Having read Thrive, I know the kind of painstaking attention to detail he pays to what [...]
Vega Sport
Ok faithful NMA readers, all the time you've wasted reading my blog might finally be worth a damn! Brendan Brazier, vegan pro triathlete and author of Thrive, has a new product that's finally available in the U.S., and a lucky reader is going to win a tub of it.
The product is called Vega Sport Performance [...]
Experimenting with Performance-Enhancing Drugs
In every way but one, my 10-mile run at Boston-qualifying pace yesterday was the same as so many others I've done. The lone difference — I was on the juice.
The juice, in this case, was yerba mate, a South American plant whose leaves are used to make an herbal tea with caffeine content similar to [...]
Living Harvest Hemp Protein and Oil
Protein. Tell someone you're vegetarian, and they'll ask how you get protein.
I've said this before, but it's worth repeating. I don't worry about protein. Or any nutrient, for that matter. I just eat a variety of whole foods, and I get what I need to feel great and support my training.
And whey and soy [...]
Brendan Brazier Interview!
Alright guys and gals, exciting post today. On Tuesday I talked to Brendan Brazier, vegan professional Ironman triathlete and author of Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life. If you've read my blog at all during the past month or two, then you know how much I love this book [...]
Thrive Diet Review
Ever since I finished reading vegan professional Ironman triathlete Brendan Brazier's Thrive two weeks ago, I've been completely inspired to transform the way I think about food. I've made the meals and smoothies from it almost every day, posting many of them on this blog (with Brendan's permission, of course). But amidst all my excitement, [...]
Two New Smoothies!
What's up, no-meaters?
Brendan Brazier (author of Thrive) has been nice enough to give me the green-light to share some recipes from his book while I'm trying them out during my 30-Day Challenge, so I've been slaving in my "test kitchen" (read: lots of cleanup) to find the best of the best to post. In addition [...]
Hi there, I'm Matt. I went vegetarian last March, and almost immediately I became a much stronger runner. I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon; now it's on to my first 50-miler!
