Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:33:55 +0000

“The Thrive Diet feeds your body all the nutrients it needs without empty calories and with minimal stress.”

- Chicago Tribune

“Mr. Brazier’s vegan principals have garnered a cult following.”

- Globe & Mail

“…The Thrive Diet, a guide to vegan diets in sports…has become something of a bible…”

- The Wall Street Journal

The thrive diet is a long-term eating plan to help all athletes (professional or not) develop a lean body, sharp mind, and everlasting energy. As one of the few professional athletes on a plant-based diet, Brendan Brazier researched and developed this easy-to-follow program to enhance his performance as an elite endurance competitor.

Brazier clearly describes the benefits of nutrient-rich foods in their natural state versus processed foods, and how to choose nutritionally efficient, stress-busting whole foods for maximum energy and health. Featuring a 12-week meal plan, over 100 allergen-free recipes with raw food options–including recipes for energy gels, sport drinks, and recovery foods–and a complementary exercise plan, The Thrive Diet is “an authoritative guide to outstanding performance” (Neal D. Barnard, M.D., Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine).

Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion, Milk Chocolate, 5-Pound

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:49:57 +0000

When it comes to the real nutritional needs of bodybuilders and athetes alike, there is little doubt to what legitimate science has to say about the different protein sources available int eh supplement marketplace. Unfortunatwly, this has little to do with the marketing message sent by most seller sof protein in the supplement market today. The competition between sellers is fierce and the drive to sell more protein by differenciating a protein by any means neccesary (whether it is legitimate or not) is prevelant to say the least. Supplements with multi-timed released proteins are everywhere, boasting absorption levels so slow that amino acids stays in the bloodstream for 5 to 13 hours! Some true, most… well… not! Let’s just pretend it is true – all if it! Good news if you are a couch potato, don’t eat frequently enough or only go to the gym occasionally – you may be in luck! One of these products might just sustain the amino acid levels in your body long enough for you to drag your butt up to eat every 5 to 13 hous. I wish we could play that game but we can’t! Last we checked the typical hardcore, eductaed athlete using Gaspari products is on a 2.5 to 3 hour meal interval schedule and for this reason Myofusion delivers only the highest and most legitimately bioavailable proteins in existence – hard and fast!

Driven Sports Nutrition Activate Xtreme, 120 Extended Release Capsules

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 02:49:10 +0000

Activate Xtreme is the pinnacle of testosterone enhancement in the sports nutrition industry. Not only does Activate Xtreme rapidly increase free testosterone, it also provides total testosterone enhancement, adaptogenic support, estrogenic control, and supports a healthy libido. We begin with Divanil, a compound tried and tested to enhance free testosterone by binding to sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). We added Icariin, a flavonol found in epimedium extract, whose benefits include testosterone mimetic properties and an increase in serum testosterone levels. It´s also a perfect choice for those looking to support healthy sexual function. Basella Alba, a close relative of spinach, has the power to promote testosterone production in the testes and its potent anabolic effects have been studied and suggested to increase muscle mass. To provide a natural balance of healthy estrogen metabolism and counter act the negative effects of estrogen, the naturally ocurring phytochemical Indole-3-Carbinol was added to Activate Xtreme. The product is made three-dimensional as a supporting agent for healthy sexual function through the inclusion of French Pine Bark Extract and Zinc Aspartate. The combination of these two ingredients has been suggested to support healthy sexual function and libido. Zinc is an important mineral required for optimal serum testosterone levels and Aspartate works as a secondary messenger in the body, stimulating the testes to produce testosterone. Lastly, Rhodiola Rosea is included for its powerful ability to combat stress and fatigue during workouts and replenish ATP reserves thereby increasing endurance and physical performance. Through the powerful combinations of the ingredients found in Activate Xtreme you can expect rock hard muscle, rapid increases in strength, high levels of testosterone and estrogen control.

Bread. Cheese. Wine. Beer. Coffee. Chocolate. Most people consume fermented foods and drinks every day.

Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods is the first cookbook to widely explore the culinary magic of fermentation.”Fermentation has been an important journey of discovery for me,” writes author Sandor Ellix Katz. “I invite you to join me along this effervescent path, well trodden for thousands of years yet largely forgotten in our time and place, bypassed by the superhighway of industrial food production.” The flavours of fermentation are compelling and complex, quite literally alive. This book takes readers on a whirlwind trip through the wide world of fermentation, providing readers with basic and delicious recipes-some familiar, others exotic-that are easy to make at home.

admin — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 00:49:24 +0000

What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there’s no question that 2:1:1 Recovery is an indispensable part of every serious athlete’s routine.
