We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. -Dr. Seuss Let’s face it. Being vegan (or even vegetarian) is pretty weird. But that’s okay — weird is […]
St. Patrick’s Day, of course, is all about the green. Green clothes, green beer, and green tofu scrambles (though I haven’t actually tried this last one myself). But today, we’re celebrating another kind of green — the healthy kind. Our NMA infographic team (which sounds way more legit than “Susan and Doug over a couple […]
One of the truly wonderful byproducts of going vegetarian or vegan is that it nudges you to expand your culinary horizons and venture into the vast world of delicious ethnic food. But what if that ethnic food is doing more harm to your health than good? Indian, Thai, Chinese, Latin-American … all these cuisines feature […]
It all started with a documentary. We were flipping through Netflix looking for a post-dinner movie when my fiancée Katie landed on Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. As tends to happen after a good documentary, I was immediately convinced. I knew everything about juicing and had to do it immediately or I might very well die. Before […]
This weekend marked the end of the eighth week of training for my first 100-mile ultramarathon. That’s a full one-third of the 24 weeks on the schedule — now behind me, absorbed (hopefully) into my legs. This is terrifying, in the best way possible. It’s the same type of fear I had when I trained […]
Plenty of people who run, marathoners even, will tell you they’re not really runners. There’s no shortage of posts from running bloggers claiming they don’t deserve the title, despite logging 30 or 50 or more miles every week. (Here’s mine, from over three years ago.) For me, it took six marathons and a Boston qualification […]
Last week after I wrote a post called 10 Foods Worth Eating Every Single Day, something interesting dawned on me: Most of the foods that I eat — and those in a typical healthy vegan diet (as opposed to the junk-food variety) — are Paleo. Sure, the seeds are iffy. And I probably eat beans three […]
As you may know, two weeks ago we welcomed the fourth member of our family into the world. She is beautiful, mellow, and most importantly, healthy. And for that, we’re incredibly grateful. We’re also not getting any sleep. Which doesn’t slow down our three-year old one bit, so the fun is compounded. Every minute, morning […]
Next Saturday morning at 10am sharp, I’ll head over to Black Mountain, NC, about half hour east of me, and run a 5K loop. It’ll be slow — probably an 11-minute mile pace. And then I’ll do it again. And again. And again and again, for 12 straight hours, until the gun sounds at 10pm. […]
Though nobody has ever mistaken 4-Hour Body author Tim Ferriss for a vegan, we can put his skepticism to good use — namely, by making sure we eat plenty of the foods that contain the nutrients he claims are hard to get from plants. To be fair, we can’t call Tim anti-plant-based diet. Indeed (from The 4-Hour […]
