Are you vegan or just interested in following a plant based diet around your cycling? Or are you a vegetarian bike rider? Regardless of whether you want to go vegan or just try eating a few vegan meals a week, we've put together 5 tips to help you eat healthily and maintain the energy you need to train at your best!

Not all exercises are suitable for everyone - there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. As with any strenuous exercise, you should take into account factors such as your flexibility, strength and overall health to determine if an exercise is appropriate for you, and consult a doctor/physician before beginning a programme of exercise. Discontinue your exercise session immediately if you experience any pain, dizziness or discomfort.
Partaking in training sessions following GCN's video instruction is entirely at your own risk, and Global Cycling Network, its partners and its affiliated companies cannot be held responsible for any injuries which may occur as a result of these exercises.

COCONUT CURRY RECIPE:
If you do get some Taro on your hands, Peel and dice the taro and boil in a large pot. If you are using regular potatoes you don’t have to peel them.

While the taro, rice or potatoes are boiling, to make a large serving of curry, sauté a few cloves of garlic and 1 onion with about 1/4 cup of coconut milk and 2-3 tbsp of curry paste. Then add remaining desired veggies (we like cauliflower and zucchini and mushrooms) and sauté a bit more (add more coconut milk if needed to keep veggies from sticking to the pan). Then add the rest of 2-3 cans of coconut milk and season to taste with black pepper, curry, cumin, salt etc.

Serve spoonfuls of curry over potatoes, rice or taro and squeeze lots of lime on top.

**make sure when purchasing curry paste to check the ingredients. A lot of curry pastes use fish sauce but a health food shop should have a natural and vegan healthy alternative. **

There have been some headlines in the news recently discussing the potential pitfalls of a strictly vegetarian diet. Being someone who usually avoids meat myself, I think it’s important to clear up any misconceptions. Becoming a vegetarian is a major lifestyle decision. Anyone considering it should be aware of what they’re getting into.

Today i show you what I ate + how I meal prep as a vegan!

Looking to transition to a plant-based diet, or to simply incorporate more vegan meals into your life? Well, today I'm sharing 7 tips detailing what I did to help make the journey easy and smooth!

How and why I went vegan! Plus before and after pictures from my 30 lbs with loss (I'm 5'9" for those wondering why I don't quite look 30 pounds heavier in the before. I'm tall so when I gain weight, it's more evenly distributed but trust me, at the start of summer 2015 I weighted 168 and by the time I moved back to LA in October 2015 I weighed 138. I weigh bit more now, about 145 which is a healthy weight for my height...but more about that in tomorrow's video :)) So in this video I talk about losing the weight, why I went vegan, how I did it, and I share some tips for new vegans or anyone curious about trying a vegan diet.

I hope you find it helpful and realize that ANYONE can be vegan. I was soooo not a "typically vegan"type....I liked vegetables, but then again I liked all food! I could not imagine this would be a path I chose but it's honestly one of the best things I've ever done :)

If you have any questions, let me know in the comments! See you tomorrow!!

VEGAN... TIPS FOR NEW VEGANS...

Tips and Resources for New Vegans

It can be very confusing to a new vegan to know what to listen to. There are so many different types of vegan diets and opinions. The best places to find the right information often depends on the type of diet you want to be on, but the truth is there is a lot of good information too. The following resources will give you good information and keep you on the right track.

Forks Over Knives – This is a great website but it’s also a Movie that you can watch on Netflix and possibly Amazon that helps you understand a healthy vegan plant-based diet that will work for most people. Plus, they don’t use processed food and all the recipes are super simple and tasty.

Today there is barely any excuse not to be vegan. It’s healthy for you, healthy for the environment, and simple too. You don’t need fancy ingredients or special vitamins, and there is no such thing as carb combing to create complete proteins which have been debunked for some time. Just eat plants, and you’ll be fine.
