Sunday Cheat Meals

Sunday Cheat Meals

There’s never a day that passes when I don’t get several emails about my diet. So today I’m going to share with you some of the stuff I eat on a normal football Sunday. That’s my big cheat day and we start it off early with the ESPN pre-game show going on at 10am while we fire up the kitchen. During the fall, this day often starts even earlier with a trip to the farmers market. Even though it’s a cheat day we still like to keep some healthy, fresh [...]

UFC Fighter Mac Danzig’s Vegan Diet

By Mac Danzig

Although there are other people at the controls, manning and updating my websites, I do read all of the mail, and the questions I get asked most often (hundreds upon hundreds of times now) are about my diet. All of the emails and letters are so hard to keep up with, so I finally sat down and decided to write a comprehensive look at my diet. I’m writing this on the fly, so even though it’s long, I will most certainly leave some important things out.. ‘Sorry’ about [...]

Yams, Squats, Sleep & Freebies

Yams, Squats, Sleep & Freebies

Question: Coach,
If you had to pick one best carb for lean bulking what would it be?
Jonathan

But I have never known anyone to have a problem with a root vegetable like sweet potatoes or yams. This is [...]

This is often due to excessively high body fat levels. [...]

Vegan Muscle Building: Is it Possible?

Vegan Muscle Building: Is it Possible?

People always ask me how the heck they could possibly gain muscle on a vegan diet. That’s because they have been brainwashed to believe that without eating a billion grams of protein per day their muscles will shrink faster than their wang in a cold pool. This simply isn’t true. Not even close.

The body can only assimilate so much protein on a daily basis and you can only build muscle so fast. If protein were really the key to building muscle you would see tons of 250 pound behemoths every [...]

Help a brother out…
Matthew Blacker

Answer: Matthew, you gotta man up. Olive oil really isn’t that disgusting. You could always mix it in a shake but the easiest and quickest way is to just take a tablespoon or two straight down the pie hole after each meal. There are other holes that it works in as [...]
