Jodi Baxter commented on Brendan Brazier's blog post 'To cleanse or not to cleanse?'

What do you think of the Master Cleanse (The Lemonade Diet)? I would like to cleanse my body and begin the Thrive 12 week Diet to prep for better health, digestibility, and a fitness competition. What do you feel would be the best for a person who s…

Pre-workout snack - For low intesity activity, lasting an extended period of time, more protein is ideal. The higher the intensity of your workout, the less protein and the more easy-digestible simple carbohydrates you should consume in your pre-wor…

Great answer to that questions that most health conscious people have. I do notice that I do not crave alcohol in the same way since eating an extremely clean and plant rich diet, but still, I do enjoy wine. Everything in moderation is the key... bu…

Isn't there less acid forming properties in organic red wines? What about gluten-free beers? If you're going to have a drink, aren't these better for you?

John Baynton commented on Brendan Brazier's blog post 'Ask Brendan: Alcohol and the Thrive Diet'

I find it really interesting how our bodies change regarding tastes and desires and cravings. I completely relate to the 'drying up' towards alcohol. While I do partake in a beer with friends or a glass of wine at times (rarely, but nonetheless), I…

can you recommend specific foods or diet routines for a rehab period post knee surgery? I truly believe that diet will play an essential role in how I rehab and recover after knee surgery.

John Coleman commented on Brendan Brazier's blog post 'Ask Brendan: Alcohol and the Thrive Diet'

Great question and great response. I love the suggestion to focus on including nutrient-dense whole food items rather than eliminating things. So well said that a more gradual and gentle shift to nutrient rich foods will naturally decrease the inter…

Joshua Mikael commented on Brendan Brazier's blog post 'Ask Brendan: Alcohol and the Thrive Diet'

Thanks for discussing this Brendan. I had been wondering the same thing for quite a while. In March I made the decision to abstain from alcohol consumption completely, not necessarily knowing the in's and out's of the acidity of wine and beer, but m…

Elmar Duiveman commented on Brendan Brazier's blog post 'Ask Brendan: Alcohol and the Thrive Diet'

Great to read this article!!! Concerning this topic I also have a question. How many days/weeks before an event is wise to cut down on alcohol? I heard someday that one alcoholconsumption the day before a race makes you significantly slower...

A glass of wine. A pint of beer. Can you have the occasional cocktail and remain on track with your Thrive lifestyle? Today, a question from Tim: Q: Where do you sit regarding beer and wine (both red and white)? Are these substances alkali…

I have been juicing for only a little while. From what I have been lead to believe cabbage has a ton of glutamine. I am leading myself to believe this as I am drinking more of it and think it is one of my positive results. Any confirmation?

Brendan is the man! Was in a GNC yesterday and they had Vega on the shelves - they did not even no what it was until I let them have it with two scoops of info! When in Banff join us at http://banffbistro.com - the number one restaurant in Banff on…

Hi Brendan - I too am wondering what your stance is on when protien should be consumed in relation to workouts and the other Vega products? Currently I am training for a half marathon so I have an energy bar an hour before my run and Sports Optimi…

Your book the Thrive Diet completely changed my life! I have never felt better. I love your Vega products and can't wait to dive into my newest purchase, the Thrive Fitness book. Thanks so much!!!

At 3:14pm on July 7, 2009, Luis said…: Hey Brendan,

Thanks for all the great work. I have greatly benefited from your book.

I was wondering, why doesn't VEGA sell larger tubs so that the consumer could save $$ and by buying larger quantities in the end I would use less bottles. Or even better why not sell bulk somehow?

At 9:34am on May 26, 2009, Derek said…: Great Seminar last night Brendan! thanks so much! I wish I could have stayed to thank you, but had to leave during the question period...

But Thanks so Much!

At 1:44pm on April 27, 2009, Rob Dubois said…: Hi Brendan, You might remember me - the guy who was pre-diabetic and 225 pounds - I volunteered at Vancouver's Health show. Just a quick note to say, after using VEGA for 5 years, I'm feeling GREAT! At 50 years old, people tell me I look 35 and that's how I feel. Einstein was right when he said, "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. "
While I am not an athlete, I have managed to change my lifestyle because of VEGA and keeping active. Have you thought about marketing to people recovering from ailments like diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis and major injuries?
Peace and Blessings!
Rob Dubois
