Hi Suzie,
In Brendan's book he states that by eating raw whole foods (basically following his meal plan) than no additionally fuelling needs to be done prior to exercise. If you feel the need to eat then you are probabley missing out on some nutrie…
Hi Maria,
I'll just tell you what I did, in case any of it might be something you're interested in...
I have a B.S. in exercise science (worked in air force fitness for a couple years, and realized its hard to do fitness without covering other healt…

Alright, best advice I can give you is to get a certificate in personal training to start with. You can either get one through a local YMCA or through Can-Fit-Pro. From here you can do workshops and other courses to increase your…
There are so many possibilities! Have you thought about doing a session for a career assessment so you can determine where your interests and options lie? I think you can work in the health industry in just about any role. For example, I have a mark…
what about an occupational therapist? The educational requirements vary depending on where you live, but I don't think that they are extremely hard / time consuming. And it's a growing field:
Occupational therapists help patients improve their abil…
Hi Maria,
Just a few ideas for you. If you want to become a fitness trainer you can simply do a course which doesn't have to be very long ( I believe it's something ridiculously short like 5 or 10 weeks). If you are really interested in understandi…

I would love a copy of the book because I find vegan bodybuilding truly fascinating! I would love to read up more on building muscle with vegan foods and how Robert has gotten to where he is now.
hmm...prob the sandwich I make? I don't know! I use multigrain sprouted bread (orowheat?)(lighlty toasted) , organic field greens, organic lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet onion vinaigrette. It's to die for.
Hi all - thanks for all of the helpful info. Having read the THRIVE diet, I realize that I am also a bit confused in regards to eating. Brendan's meal suggestions in the book do not factor in workouts, or pre-post recovery meals, yet he stresses thi…

Hey Maria!
"I am under the impression that the best time to workout is in the morning (correct me if I'm wrong),"
-->WRONG! sort of..best time is when you feel energized and when you know you'll do it, no excuses. for some its the AM, for me, I'm m…
I think the best time to workout is the best time to fit your schedule. I recommend picking a time that works and scheduling it into your day like an appointment then you have the time set aside and are less likely to get sidetracked.
As for what t…
Hi Maria,
It really depends on what type of workout, intensity and duration you do. Sounds like you are just starting and perhaps not thinking of exercising intensely. However your body which is not used to exercising will see it all as a stress an…
I'm starting to get serious about exercising, and if I'm going to do it, I figure I might as well do it right =)
I'm having trouble figuring out what I should be eating before and after a workout, however. (I'm vegan, by the way.)
Here's some backgr…
