Longer ago than I care to remember, I researched the nutrition benefits of vegan foods and found that, on balance, peanuts were an astonishingly rich and...
Jim Morris was a great believer in defatted peanut flour as a nutritional aid to growth (if I'd been able to find it around here & I had any idea about what to...
Hi John! Pete just pipped me to a reply - and I totally agree with him on this subject. One other problem with peanuts is they are enormously prone to ...

Pete, Is there anything you don't know??! As a born-again weight-trainer, I'm quite au fait with the exercise routines, but the diet aspect is something I...
The whole proprioperception aspect of fitness training is new to me, but I find it great fun. It seems to be that, like body building, gains are made between...
There are no real set rules about when to take protein, just conventions, really most evidence is flimsy when you read the research. The only guaranteed time...
You mentioned proprioception: The ability to sense the position and location and orientation and movement of the body and its parts, yes I looked it up, as I...
Pete, you're a star. Many, many thanx for this. It's all got a lot more complicated since I were a lad. In my teens, I used to start with a run first thing in...

Tikimate, You've come to the right place. What Pete doesn't know about vegan weight-training and nutrition could be written on the back of a carnivore's...
Hi Tikimate, a vegan diet will not cause any problems. Many people have grown up their whole lives as vegans with no ill effects (unlike a lot of people...
I was chatting with our local health-food store bloke yesterday. I'd asked him about BCAAs - branched chain amino acids. He's a decent bloke; often talks you...
Tisimate, it's blasphmey to disagree with Pete on anything (even the capital of Ulan Bator, which happens to be the capital of itself, he tells me). However...
It's true you don't need BCAA's. But, in certain situations they can aid recovery/muscle growth. Cutting Bodybuilders can benefit as can some athletes...
Pete - great information you have here. One question about the EFAs. You mention that you can add flax to cooked (I am assuming hot) food, but not cookING...

Thanks for this, Pete. Great help. Can't believe you failed to mention Ulan Bator, though. So I've just done it for you. Having peeked at a website dedicated...
Problem is, Tikimate, I only have access to the Net via the computers in our local library - and they've disabled the sound, the swines. If there's anything...
