If you want to make your changes last, flexibility is key. A firm commitment might help at first, but without a little wiggle room, it’s nearly impossible to turn healthy eating into a lasting lifestyle, as opposed to just a “diet” (we all know how those turn out).
But if there were an official “No Meat Athlete Diet,” these 10 guidelines would be it. Guidelines for how to eat healthy on a daily basis, with enough room for spontaneity to make it sustainable for the long term.
In today’s episode, Doug and I discuss those healthy eating guidelines, and exactly why building in that flexibility is important.
Here’s what we talk about in this episode:
- The pros and cons of “dieting”
- Are smoothies healthy?
- Why you have to be cooking your own food
- Variety in diet — is it as important as everyone says?
- How to get by without a $400 blender

Thanks Jesse; sorry about that. I just sent them an email to see what’s up; I’ll let you know as soon as I hear!
Ok, just heard back and it sounds like they fixed the issue. If you still have problems, let me know here!
Regarding blenders, I am a huge fan of the stick blender. Mine is Cuisinart brand and I’ve had it for 6 years now (I can’t remember how much I paid, but less than $50). Makes smoothies like a dream. Because you hold it, it’s just so easy to blend up ice or frozen chunks or other really thick stuff. Also works great for soups b/c you can blend right in the pot. Especially great for someone on a budget and/or with not a lot of storage space. And so easy to clean. I’ve since inherited a high-speed blender but don’t even use it. Stick blender 4 life!
Sweet potatoes are awesome!
