Today — December 26th, 2013 — is my thirty-third birthday. Everyone always assumes having a birthday right after Christmas is no good because you get short-changed on presents, but I’ve always loved it — having Christmas, my birthday, and New Year’s (still my favorite holiday) all in one week is pretty sweet. And writing this […]
Yep, you read that right. Coming from one of the biggest goal-setting freaks you’ll meet. Goal-setting, the way most people approach it, simply doesn’t work. Not in the quantum-leap, overnight-success way that most first-time goal-setters assume it should. This, of course, is where most people go wrong with their New Year’s resolutions — they expect […]
It’s January 7th, which means two things: We’re a week into the new year! Not a bad time to check in and see how you’re doing, if you’ve got some changes to make this year. Today is the last day to get Wake Up (my new 31-day program) before two of the bonuses go away. I […]
One of the most common questions I get in Q&A sessions following talks: What if you want to go vegan or vegetarian, but your partner is not on board? And I never have a good answer. I was very fortunate that from the minute I came home and said, “Honey, I want to try being […]
Sometimes, you just need someone to give it to you straight. Occasionally Jason Fitzgerald and I do 30-minute coaching calls with new Run Your BQ members to help them build some initial momentum when they join our program. I’ve done a few dozen of these calls now, and in the process I’ve noticed something striking: Almost every […]
Get ready to party like it’s 2009. One of my main reasons for starting this blog, back in that ancient day, was to share plant-based recipes that I found fit for athletes. And for several years I did just that, but soon I started to enjoy writing other types of posts. Recipes, I figured, were […]
When it comes to healthy, plant-based food options, we’ve come a long way in the past few years. But one area that’s apparently still lacking bigtime: snacks. I sent out a survey to the NMA newsletter list a few weeks ago — mainly to get some feedback about what features you’re looking for in the […]
Admission: I really wanted to call this post Kill Your Microwave … Before It Kills You! But I didn’t. Because that’s not why I killed my microwave. I don’t think microwaves are dangerous, nor do really believe that microwaving your food necessarily destroys the nutrition therein. Living without a microwave is weird, yes. Inconvenient, sure. But […]
The day the long-awaited Oh She Glows Cookbook showed up on our doorstep was an exciting one indeed. My wife and I do a lot of cooking at home, and time permitting, we make as much as we can from scratch — staples like almond butter, hummus, almond milk, and vegetable stock. Foods that of course […]
Three days before I left to start my book tour last fall, I begrudgingly traded in my old phone (the one with the huge extended-life battery that always falls out, and that I usually hold together with a rubber band) for a smart one. I had resisted for years, fearing that with 24/7 access to […]
