The mental image is of a hurricane: immensely powerful winds moving at tremendously high speeds, but at the center of it all — in the eye — peace and stillness. It’s an appealing ideal for how you should run — the winds, of course, being your limbs; the eye, your lungs and heart. And it’s […]
“Where do you get your protein?” It’s question vegans and vegetarians get asked more than any other. We hear it so often, in fact, that we tend to forget that some people really do want to know the answer, and aren’t just asking it with the aim of poking holes in our silly, granola-crunchy plant-based […]
Like setting a kitchen timer and meditating for five minutes. Or doing just one set of pushups, as many as you can do. Or taking two minutes to think of ten new things you’re grateful for, and lucky to have in your life. Or writing down one thing that you love about your significant other. […]
These days, there’s no reason meal planning should be tough, even for vegetarians and vegans. We’ve got tons of cookbooks and nearly infinite recipes at our fingertips on the web, not to mention all of the loose ideas of meals in our heads. So why is it so hard to answer the question, “What do […]
After seeing how useful (and how popular) the Perfect Smoothie Formula and the Ultimate Energy Bar Formula were, my sister Christine and I set out to see what other foods could benefit from a good formula-izing. That’s a real word. In case you haven’t seen our other formulas, the idea is simple: instead of creating […]
A year and a half after posting the Perfect Smoothie Formula (and probably three years after I started using it), the smoothie is still an everyday habit of mine. Even when I’m sick of smoothies, my wife still wants hers, so we make ’em. And vice versa. I have to be honest; I don’t change […]
When it comes to cookbooks, my wife and I are big fans of the library. You can leaf through a normal book and get an idea of whether it’s any good, but you can’t really decide about a cookbook until you try it. So we like to borrow first, then buy if it’s great. And […]
If you’re a mildly serious runner who hangs around with other mildly serious runners, then I’d bet good money that one of those friends has been telling you how much fun the RAGNAR relay he or she ran was. And how you’ve just got to do one yourself. I bet you’re even sick of hearing […]
The more I learn about habits, the more I believe that simplicity is the best policy — especially when it comes to food. I’m not a fan of restrictions or numbers when it’s time to eat. People often email me to ask why I don’t include nutrition facts with the recipes on No Meat Athlete, […]
I know: you know all about kale. And if you’re anything like me, stocking up on greens for weeks at a time to avoid trips to the grocery store, you probably have a ton of it. But here’s the real question… How much are you actually eating? I suspect a lot of people who want […]
