  1. I love MJ so I can definitely moonwalk...and do a bunch of other MJ moves.
  2. Thanks for posting this, Robert! You're awesome. Yes, we just launched our first show, First in Action, on New Year's Day. I would love to see you guys on there sometime! It's non-stop craziness over at The Whoa Show. The directions are getting more and more creative on First in Action.
  3. I've been struggling with an eating disorder for a while now but it has absolutely nothing to do with my vegan diet.
  4. onion soup? please explain...i've lost a lot of weight in the past few weeks...and at the same time, I've lost a lot of hair...maybe my weight loss has something to do with it? I doubt it's genetics...all my family members have beautiful hair.
  5. I've been losing a lot of hair lately and my hair is so thin at the moment that you can almost see through my scalp...do you guys think this has anything to do with my diet?? I've been a vegan for about a year now...I take 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil a day and I take a multivitamin everyday as well....so what do you guys think could be the problem???
  6. I just realized that I may possibly be sorta allergic to soy...but only when I consume it in larger quantities...like, if I have mock meats here and there and little bit of soy milk throughout the day, I'll be fine...but when I have a lot of soy throughout the day (i.e. soy meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner) or whenever I have soy protein powder (20 grams), I start feeling weird...I totally have a hard time breathing...and my throat becomes all swollen...do you guys think I may be allergic to soy?? I really hope I'm not allergic...cause almost everything I eat has some soy in it.
  7. Ya, vegan madre is the queen when it comes to vegan cullinary delights. be sure to check out here other recipes, posted last year so you may have to go back a few pages. Oooh, I'll definately have to check out her other recipes! how exciting.
  8. I just came across this on Vegan Essentials...do you guys know anything about it? and is it any good? Thor’s Organic Raw Power Protein Superfood Blend 100% raw, vegan, and certified organic, this unique blend Superfoods composes a wide spectrum of nutrients that aid in workout recovery or are simply an excellent source of animal-free protein for supplementation. Brazil nut protein powder contains nearly 50% protein, a full spectrum of amino acids, high levels of selenium and is rich in dietary fiber. Hemp protein powder is a naturally complete protein, containing over 50% protein, branch chain amino acids, omega 3s and 6s, as well as healthy dietary fiber. Maca is an ancient Superfood that contains nearly 20 amino acids, essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium and iron, and also is rich in vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E. It is said that Maca increases endurance by providing sustained energy, which can help you get through busy days and grueling workouts. Goji berry powder is a naturally concentrated extract of the world’s most nutrient-rich fruit. It contains 18 amino acids, essential minerals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides. Goji berry powder is also a natural secretogogue (a substance that stimulates the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone by the pituitary gland). Healthy growth hormone levels are a vital component of long-term strength and recovery. All these components provide one of the greatest vegan protein powders we’ve seen, so if you’re serious about increasing your strength and size this is one supplement you’ll want to try.
  9. I made some of these pancakes this morning!! They were ABSOLUTELY delicious!! Yummmmmy. Thanks a lot for the recipe.
  10. 12 PM: Vegan Cereal (10 grams of protein and w/matcha green tea) with soymilk and an onion bagel topped off with organic hummus. 1 cup of water. -multivitamins & vitamin b12 tablet. 2 PM (pre workout): water mixed with creatine. 3 PM (during workout): 1 glass of water. 4 PM (post workout): Asian soy chicken and rice bowl with 2 half slices of pineapple. 1 cup of water. 5 PM: cucumber with 1 spoon of organic peanut butter. - protein shake (22 grams). 6 PM: Pinto beans with chopped tomatoes, cilatro, onions, one whole radish mixed with organic hummus. -1 bowl of large strawberries, blood oranges, and regular oranges. 7 PM: 1 cup of green tea. 8 PM: 2 slices of pineapple. 10 PM: Boca beef patty topped with organic hummus, chopped, and mixed with lettuce, slices of strawberries and slices of pineapple. 1 glass of water. 12 AM - 2 tablespoons of organic flaxseed oil. That's all for now...I'll probably eat more in a bit. I know, I'm such a pig!
  11. I know this is a random question, but does anyone know? I'm looking for additional sources of protein. Thanks!!
  12. I just cooked my boca patty with hummus...chopped it into pieces and added it to my salad. VERY DELICIOUS!
  13. So do you think it will be wise for me to continue eating carbs in the morning and mainly protein at night? Or do you any other suggestions, diet-wise?
  14. I would say you got a pretty good set of exercises there, but I think its a bit unbalanced between the front and the back of the legs. I would ditch the legextensions and put in something specific for the hamstrings instead, like stiff legged deadlifts, legcurls or Glute-hamraises. Also you could probably ditch the legpresses and concentrate on squatting. Another thing is I think you might be training too light.16 sets 3-4 times a week is very high volume, I think you should train harder and lower the volume by either only training the legs once a week or lower the amount of sets each time. I wouldnt bother eating different kinds of food in different times a day cause I dont think it makes very much difference. good luck witht the training . Before changing my routine up a bit last week, I worked out about once or twice a week because my workout was more intense and I needed several days (sometimes even a week) to recover. I did the same amount of sets and reps I'm doing now, however, I used more weights and I did each workout 4 times in a row consecutively (i.e. 4 sets of squats, then 4 sets of calve raises, etc) and now I do one set of each workout after another until I do each one a total of four times by the end of my workout (i.e. 1 set of squats, then 1 set of calve raises, then 1 set of leg extensions, and finally 1 set of deadlifts -- I follow this pattern a total of 4 times). I also put more emphasis on cardio now...I do cardio for about 15-20 before I workout. So do you think I should go back to my old routine and lower my reps a bit? I currently do about 15-20 reps. And yes, I do straight-leg deadlifts. I read somewhere that if I spread my legs a little more apart while doing squats, it's going to put more emphasis on my thighs...is this true? I'm going to try this out today when I workout. And also, one of my friends told me that the efficacy of lunges are pretty weak...I don't know if that's true or not but it has prevented me from trying it. Great tips so far....thanks guys. I'll look into them a little more......and see what I can do.
