Hi Dalton, Did you get a response? I am also interested on how to fuel for ironman distances.
Tks
Dalton Fayad said:Hi Brendan,
I really like the new Vega Sport but i need some more info on it. I really enjoy it for shorter workouts and short races like 1-2 hour events. I would really like to know if you think it would be well suited to use during an ironman event specifically the ironman run. I usually try and take in approx. 200-260 calories per hour, would taking 3 servings per hour of Vega Sport be too much for my body considering the caffeine in each serving? Is Vega Sport designed more for shorter workouts and races? My estimated time in ironman marathon would be 3h40m so i would probably take about 11 servings during ironman run, is that too much for my body?
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts you have on this matter.
Thanks

Hi,
Is Brendan aware of the following report with regards to PET bottles.
Antimony in Plastic Water Bottles
Is he also aware of the problem with Almonds in California being irradiated?
I would also like to know why the Almonds, that are used in the Energy Bars, are not blanched and the skins removed.
When will the Vega Gels become available for Testing? I'm more than willing to put them through a taste and performance test.
Thank you, Michael.

Brendan, I'm looking forward to starting the Thrive Fitness program, however I was wondering if you have
any suggestions for the "continually changing movement activity" if I work an opposite shift and don't
have the opportunity to meet up with someone else while I'm free (and they are working). Are there activities
I can participate in on an individual basis? If not, any suggestions for a substitution for those days? Thanks.

Hi Brendan, I am a "grand masters" age group triathlete participating in the half to IM distances as my A races. The past few years, I've had increasing and severe cramping issues. I have read the Thrive Diet, and switched over to the Sport drink and protein and am slowly changing my diet over too. While I am actually seeing some improvement in my training sessions, my weight has increased and my cramping issues are about the same. I had another "nutrition guru" of IM fame say that he never encourages older females that train for IM distances to go vegan and he felt my weight and cramping were hormone related. I've heard this several times now and wondered what a vegan diet does that promotes hormone imbalances that they seem concerned about. Thank you. Lisa

Hi Brendan,
I'm a cyclist at a high competitive level, and I'm always looking for new ways to improve recovery. I newly discovered the hemp protein powder, and I'm thinking about testing it out. On the internet i have read that the hemp protein powder comes from the hemp seeds from the hemp plant. Its also from this plant they make the narcotic drug THC. As THC is illegal to use within sports, THC will give a positive drug test. Is there any level of THC in hemp protein powder? And can this give a positive drug test?

In reference to your writing about Soy in your 'Thrive in 30' newsletters; are non-GMO soy products okay to consume or are those also allergens and carcinogen carrying foods?
Thanks!

Brendan...I'm interested in knowing if there has been any thought or development towards making little gel packets like PowerBar/GEW/Cliff has produced as an energy boost product? I find them convenient, especially when going for a training ride.
Thx
Rich

Next to the BCAA's on the Performance Protein Ingredient Listing, there are the names of the protein sources in brackets...I am assuming that the BCAA's are from these sources listed in the brackets and are therefore naturally occurring? But I also heard from a representative from VEGA that the added L-leucine is derived from glucose of non-GMO corn...if this is correct how many grams are added and how many are naturally occurring?
Thank you :)
