Greetings All, I don't respond much but I found it interesting this subject came up in that I was in discussion about this a few days ago. My take on this, as...
Definitely high impact builds bone density, quite possibly more than even excess load. I'm not sure if there's been comparisons between elite high impact...
as there's been a bit about 'eco-atkins' etc & the claimed benefits of low-carbing for vegans, here's a bit of balance. Those on lowest carbs tend to be...
Hi Pete, ... I have never understood this. Why would eating more fat make you less fat? Why would eating carbohydrates, which have to be converted to fat to be...
I put this out there before and it didn't get much support but I think that if vegan bone density is generally lower than that of omnivores it's because too...
Hi, I can give you the basic theory behind it, but to be honest exactly how any fat loss/fat gaining occurs exactly is still a mystery, no one knows for sure...
It seems to be all the rage suddenly for all these fitness people to 'try-out' going vegan for a month...call me slightly cynical, but I think that maybe they...

Hi Pat, yes, the worrying thing is I can see how a lot of these 'training gurus' go on these 30 day diet plans, then set themselves up as vegan dietary experts...
As I mentioned this before I've stumbled across a couple more 30 day vegans. Here's a video blog of a women just starting her 30 days (there's a nice little...
Are there any competing athletes in the US that want to try out hemp protein for free? You have to be in competition in the US & willing to send in a review...
Here's a bit about some reasons why nutritional labels can mislead. Bear in mind they do mention a couple of animal experiments, so if you want to avoid...
Hi Pete! I always say that 'the best foods have no labels'!! Just leaving for Manchester as I'm on Channel M tomorrow. Likely in Daily Express soon and just...

Yesterday I tried a crocodile push-up for he first time. I don't usually do that much bodyweight stuff as I enjoy weights more, but I was in a real hurry. It...
Having seen Pete and Robbie talk at the Brighton Vegan Fayre earlier this year, I have hit the weights... I vaguley remember him mentioning a specific form of...

Dear All I have read an article in a book called Ironman's Natural Bodybuilding by Michael Gundill. I would like to know what people think about it, as I don't...
CEE (Creatine Ethyl Ester). There are a few brands out there, like most creatines I've not found one that isn't vegan (except when it's in gelatine capsules)....
Hi B, for some people those moves just cause joint pain, it is due to the joint design of some people. I'm not saying you are one of these, but a lot of...
Ben, one thing you NEED to know about CEE is - it tastes hideous!!! I've heard of people being unable to swallow it without immediately throwing up. The key -...
I'll be honest & say most fat loss schemes work for someone & most would work for most people. I don't think there is a 'magic' training or dietary system...
