Everyone loves the post-workout meal. It serves as a reward, a celebration of having worked your ass off, and it's a fantastic excuse to eat some of the sugars and simple carbs that we avoid most other times.
People are fond of believing that a glass of chocolate milk is the perfect post-workout meal. As someone [...]

The 7 Secrets of Post-Workout Recovery
Best Thrive 'pizza' yet!
I've stayed away from fake meat products for a while now, so it's been a long time since I've had any food in quotes. The "pizzas" in Thrive, however, are a different kind of quoted food, since they're not masquerading as real pizzas. "Pizza" just happens to be the most convenient way to describe a food [...]
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 [...]
iHerb.com shopping spree!
Alright people; it's time. iHerb.com has been generous enough to give us three things: a $50 shopping spree for me, a $50 shopping spree for one of you, and a coupon code (RAZ652) that anyone can use to get $5 off his or her first purchase.
So, here's the deal with iHerb. They're an online health-food-slash-supplement [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
Natural Sports Drink from Thrive
Whew! I just got back from my 20-miler this morning, that which was postponed due to my feeling like crap when I woke up yesterday. All better today though!
I did it in 2:38:54, a 7:56 minute-per-mile pace. This is a little slower than the 7:45 I was shooting for. My temptation is to list a [...]
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 Raw Energy Gel
On my run today, I went au naturale, getting all my nutrition from raw, real ingredients. I made two things from Thrive last night to bring along today—Lemon-Lime Sports Drink and this Lemon-Lime Gel.
Interestingly, both of these were made from similar ingredients, just in different proportions. I know they don't look too terribly exciting (the [...]
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!
