I am an older athlete. (40s) I love hiking, running and strength training. I was rocking and rolling until… “Pain! You make me a, you make me a believer…believer.” (Imagine Dragons voice) Plantar (foot) pain in both feet and hip pain (impingement). I started strengthening my hips with Lateral Band walks and Quadruple bird dogs.…

Carnivore. Keto. Paleo. Whole 30. Something is wrong with the plant-based diet. It defies diet logic. Dietary knowledge passed down from the ages: If I eat too much I gain weight. And with those other diets it’s absolutely true. But no matter what I do on this diet I still lose weight. I imagine much…

Grabbing a beer is one of my favorite things to do with friends. I have struggled since being plant-based to meet up at the bar because bar food is scrumptious Last night was the first time in months I hung out at the bar. I had 2 wheat beers. 😁 And then ordered the House-made…

So I follow Plant-based News on several platforms and was excited to see a new documentary on Netflix… You are what you eat. Twins. They took twins and put them 1 on the omnivore diet and the other on a vegan diet. And we were supposed to see results of the documentary but I had…

“Yuck!” “This is disgusting!” My kids don’t hold back when they don’t like a meal. This week they cleaned their plates, twice this week! No one trick pony here. I have been making them plant-based dinners for 9 weeks and my kids are flexitarians which means I compete with animal protein. This a first. The…

Men eat meat. 2 double cheeseburgers, no fries was my favorite order at McDonald’s order as a kid. At buffets, I skipped the salad bar headed straight for beef tenderloin, ribeye steak, and fried chicken. I own 3 grills and 2 smokers. I watched BBQ showdown.(Still have them) So when I read How Not to…

Sometimes I like to stay up late and eat. There is nothing like late night snacking. I know. It’s not good for me but… Hot french fries with sea salted fries with ketchup. This is my kryptonite. It matter not that… I ate Hoisin tossed tofu, broccoli and rice. But I started watching House of…

This is going to sound weird. I enjoy cleaning up…now. Before I would need to use a separate skillet for the animal protein and the other for plant-based foods. 1 pan: Broccoli, pasta, and seared tofu. I love cleaning and you might too on a plant-based diet.

“C’mon be a man.” If you are man who is plant-based you are a punk or soft. If you are a woman who does not eat meat they say you are being extreme. If you are a parent they will tell you are under feeding your kids. You will be judged. Don’t fight the ignorance.…

The whole food plant based diet is going to make you a… Chef. Well not at first. There has never been a better time to be plant-based. Plant-based content creation is at an all time high. Recipes for… It took several tries but I now have several “go to” recipes. They now devour my walnut…
