Hey friends!
I've been vegan before for a few years, but had to stop for awhile when I was getting seriously into bike racing and distance triathlon. If any of you vegan/gluten free endurance athletes out there have any tips and tricks, I'm always looking for some new recipes!
Right now, I'm in love with brown rice pasta with olives, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, broccoli, and sauteed spinach. YUMMMM.
Talk to me, I'm nice. :)

Hi! Definitely check out the "Lean, Mean Vegan Machine" forum, lots of vegan athletes in there! There are so many vegan athletes out there, and they're all doing really well! Also, this site is great resource for vegan athletes: http://www.greatveganathletes.com/ Good luck!!
There's lots of Vegan celebs these days, too. Everyone is trying to expand their understanding of animal rights + health. Athletes go vegan because our diet is generally low fat, high carb, with lots of vitamins/minerals/fiber. When eating this way, we start to look and feel lean like a runner, cyclist, dancer, etc.
MY current exercise routine is dancing to house/french club music. I have a YOUTUBE channel where I post my favorite music I like to dance to @ http://youtube.com/sillybunnns
I also have a couple of posts on the best exercise routines and RECIPES for VEGANS and people that want to become lean on my website @ http://veganslivingofftheland.blogspot.com/ and search my blog for "exercises"
THANKS!
