Vegetarian Star

“Eat a salad at least five times a week with leafy greens, sprouts, avocado. And a smoothie is great after a workout. It gets it in your body right away.”

—-Brendan Brazier, vegan athlete, author and creator of the Vega Nutrition Line.

Brazier is a two time winner of the National 50km Ultra Marathon Championship.

And who says real men don’t eat rabbit food.

Montreal Canadienes hockey player Georges Laraque has recorded his official vegetarian PSA.

Laraque isn’t new to vegetarianism, though, having practiced the diet for awhile before going vegan in June.

He’s also been involved in protests.

“Out on the ice, things get pretty rough. But it’s nothing compared to what animals in factory farming slaughterhouses go through,” Laraque says.

So nice to see more male athletes give the holler to veggies.

Phil Brabbs University of Michigan

A former University of Michigan star football player is battling multiple myeloma.

But Phil Brabbs, who gained fame for kicking a 44 yard just as time expired to give the Wolverines a 31-29 win over Washington in 2002, considers himself to be in the best shape of his life.

He is also a vegetarian.

“There are a lot of parallels that I use from that situation to what I’m facing now,” Brabbs said, according to mlive.com. “I missed the first kick, which was like when I got a blood clot. Then I missed my second one and got pulled, which was like when I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.”

Brabbs started chemotherapy this week and is also up for a stem cell transplant.

Stay strong and eat well, Phil.

It’s never been more important.

Vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier is giving everyone the full lecture on plant based protein and building muscle at Kris Carr‘s website Crazysexylife.com.

Plant protein is great, Brendan insists, because it doesn’t increase the inflammation in the muscle as much as animal protein does after a workout, allowing you to recover faster and lift more weights.

“In place of isolates and acid-forming animal foods, there are host of plant-based options that will ensure inflammation be kept to a minimum. Post workout, excellent plant-based protein sources include: hemp, pea, and rice protein. And while protein is a crucial component for muscle repair and building, so too are essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants and a host of other nutritional components that can be found in a variety of plant-based whole foods. This being the case, the post workout smoothies will deliver greater results if it contains these components, not merely protein.”

Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams knows even with being a vegetarian, your body can’t play professional football forever.

That’s why he plans to become a doctor of osteopathic medicine, according to palmbeachpost.com.

Wowsers!

Athletic, intelligent, and vegetarian?

What’s his marital status again?

The cool thing about osteopathic medicine is that it takes a holistic approach to being healthy, versus relying on medicine to treat ailments.

The eight main principles of the discipline are as follows:

1. The body is a unit.
2. Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related.
3. The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms.
4. The body has the inherent capacity to defend and repair itself.
5. When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for self maintenance, disease may ensue.
6. The movement of body fluids is essential to the maintenance of health.
7. The nerves play a crucial part in controlling the fluids of the body.
8. There are somatic components to disease that are not only manifestations of disease, but also are factors that contribute to maintenance of the disease state.

We are really liking number #4 and we hope Ricky teaches his patients the best way to use their body to defend and repair themselves is by choosing a veg diet, which can help prevent dozens of diseases, including the big killers of diabetes, heart disease, abdominal obesity, and cancer.

Can we get a Dr. Ricky Williams in the house as soon as possible?

Tony Gonzalez insists that his success on the football field is most closely tied with adopting “vegan principles,” according to usatoday.com.

Not a complete vegan-not even a complete vegetarian-Gonzalez still eats seafood and chicken occasionally, but has given red meat the permanent punt off his plate.

“You have to put good stuff in your body. Everybody should, but especially athletes. We’re high-performance machines. You wouldn’t put regular gas in a race car. Jimmie Johnson is going to put the high-octane, good stuff in there. It’s the same thing for football players. You’d be surprised by how many players don’t do it. But I’ve seen the results.”

Tony’s trying to get the wifey on board too, but she’s not the best willing participant.

Uh-oh.

Does she need a Skinny Bitch to keep her in line?

“She’s having trouble. When I cook, she’s eating good. But if she has to do it on her own, she might not make the best choices.”

Tony made the switch to a mainly vegetarian diet after sitting next to a man who ordered a vegan meal on a plane flight and bugging the heck out of him with questions, which led Tony to read The China Study, which outlines how diseases that drive health care costs up can be prevented with a plant based diet.

After Milwaukee Brewer’s first baseman Prince Fielder won the Home Derby Competition, a mobile pizza truck that sells pizza by the slice in Milwaukee, Street-za, made a special pizza to honor the hometown hero.

There’s just one problem.

Prince Fielder is a vegetarian and that pizza ain’t nowhere near veggie.

Here are the toppings for the Streetza Brew Crew Sausage Race:

Italian sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, Polish sausage and hot dogs.

Vendor dudes could have at least did a little bit of research before whipping that up. A pizza slice abundant with veggies or even multiple varieties of cheese would have been better.

The perfect slice, of course, would be one topped with faux sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and hot dogs, as it would be the perfect opportunity to show fans what Prince is getting and what they’re missing on a regular basis.

Sigh. Opportunity missed.

Gotta give the Street-za guys credit for putting a vegan pizza on the menu, though, with the description, “Hopefully we aren’t banished from Wisconsin for this pizza. A Cheese-less pizza with our tomato sauce, fresh spinach, eggplant, onions, & cajun spiced potatoes. How can a pizza be good with no cheese? It is. Trust us.”

Prince Fielder took some criticism when he went vegetarian last year.

Fans who wanted better performance on the baseball field were quick to blame any mistake on the lack of meat in his diet and critics were quick to point out that, like Ruben Studdard, Fielder’s tofu and veggies weren’t making him much thinner.

Those critics can take their words and shove it, as the Milwaukee Brewers first baseman has shown real athletes don’t need meat and has been crowned Home Derby Champion in the all-star competition.

Fielder won the title by defeating Nelson Cruz of Texas in the final round 6-5 and hit 23 homers in the three rounds of competition. One of Fielder’s homers was a 503-footer, the longest one of the night.

Wonder if he celebrated with his favorite pesto pasta toss that evening?
