Moderation: Sensible or Slippery Slope? with Pamela Fergusson, RD PhD

Written by Doug Hay

 

When making a big life change, especially around healthy eating, is it better to go all in or leave room for moderation?
We posed that question to Pamela Fergusson, RD PhD, who — as a nutrition consultant — knows a thing or two about what works and what doesn’t.
… Should you allow for cheat days?
… Should you relax your guidelines when going out to dinner?
… What about when cooking for your family?
Pamela shares her advice and experience on the topic, so you don’t make the same mistakes as many new plant-based eaters.

 http://nomeatathlete.ontraport.com/t?orid=327055&opid=4

 The actions include concrete, practical steps like:

  • Decide what must change and what you will no longer tolerate
  • Find the motivation and inspiration to think big
  • Set massive, “unrealistic” and obsession-worthy goals (and understand why they’re the ones you’re most likely to achieve)
  • Decide who you need to become
  • Install the habits to ensure you follow through on your plans
  • Figure out where your time is going, using the 80/20 principle, and learning to say “no” to create more time than you ever knew you had

The Perfect Smoothie Formula

Image
Written by Matt Frazier C lick the image to view full-size. The way I see it, you only need to eat healthy twice during the day.  While you’ll certainly eat more than twice a day, just two healthy meals make it pretty hard to screw up the rest of them. Once is in the afternoon, when a big salad loaded with greens, other raw vegetables, and nuts will fill you up and give you more veggies than most people eat all day.  And as a bonus, it’ll give you the chance to get even more good stuff, when you dress it with quality oil, lemon juice, and a little sea salt. The other time is in the morning, when a smoothie made from fruits (and even vegetables) will not only set the tone for the entire day, but act as a vehicle for other superfoods or supplements you want to work into your diet. That’s it. Just two healthy meals. Even if you ate whatever you wanted the rest of the day, I’d be willing to bet you wouldn’t get fat, as long as you made sure to drink a smooth...

How to Nail Race Day: 4 Keys to a Successful First Ultramarathon

Image
Written by Doug Hay   Five months ago, my wife Katie gave birth to a beautiful baby girl . Let’s call her Eliza (that is her name, after all). For months leading up to Eliza’s birth, Katie and I attended birthing classes, read books on having a healthy pregnancy, and wrote birthing plans, all with the focus on getting that baby out of Katie as easily and naturally as possible. And it went great. Two days later, we pull into our driveway from the hospital with a tiny, wrinkly, healthy, baby Eliza. Exhausted, Katie immediately gets in bed for a nap while I grab Eliza and snuggle up on the couch. That’s when it hits me. “Holy shit. Now what?!” We had spent so much energy trying to successfully get through the pregnancy and birth that we didn’t focus on how to actually raise this child — an actual human, I might add — for which we are responsible. Over and over, I see runners doing the same thing during their first ultramarathons . They pour an enormous amo...

Intermittent Fasting for the Vegan Athlete: Is It Right for You?

Image
Written by Pamela Fergusson, RD, PhD Intermittent fasting is all the rage—but is right for you? Fasting has long been a common practice in many cultures, used to promote mental health and longevity. More recently, it’s gained popularity as a weight loss tool. But significantly restricting your calories for a long period of time can be dangerous. Not to mention incredibly difficult, scary, and simply not fun. That’s where intermittent fasting comes in. Intermittent fasting refers to dietary patterns that cycle between fasting and and non-fasting, to help you experience the health benefits of fasting without many of the downsides. And studies have shown that it can help you lose weight, boost your metabolism , reduce the risk of certain diseases, and even improve your mood. The best part?  Intermittent fasting is completely natural. According to a 2014 article in the journal Cell Metabolism authored in part by Valter Longo, the director ...
