Hooray for Hungry Jack’s Vegan Burger!


Tat Queen/Badass

Contrary to popular belief, the focus on veganism is not the vegetables, but rather, the animals how vegans want to keep them alive and remove and cruelty towards them in all aspects of living.

For mother and super talented tattoo artist, Kat Von D, her journey towards veganism is about making sure that animals are not only spared from her meals, but also in the products that she sells. 1


Her makeup line, Kat Von D Beauty, has completely transitioned into being cruelty free. Von D, who states that she is “involved in the entire creative process” of her makeup line, elaborates on why she wanted it to be truly crueltyfree in a magazine interview:

“There is no point in developing anything at the cost of exploiting and abusing animals. Not only is it important for me to create a 100% cruelty-free brand, but also send out a very clear message to both consumers and companies out there: testing on animals in the name of beauty is cruel and unnecessary.” When asked if there were any difficulties in the reformulation, the famous tattoo artist replies that the process was “easy and simple.” While her products won’t sell in China, Von D states “if it spares an innocent

animal from a life of torture, that is completely worth it in my book.” For Von D, who became vegan 5 years ago, the experience was truly eye-opening. Years of cultural programming have taught her to love some animals while eating others, when in all reality, all animals are sentient beings with the capacity to feel, both physically and emotionally. 2


She knows that everyday, she can make the choice to live a life of compassion that not only saves animals, but helps the environment.

B

ecause of her crueltyfree efforts, Kat Von D is being honored with the The Compassion in Action Award at Farm Sanctuary’s Gala which is a huge honor for the tatoo artist turned entrepreneur. For Von D, as long as she can be of service to this cause in any way, then she’s completely all for it. Ultimately, this is just another way for her to be able to talk about these issues that are very real, and dear to her heart.

R

ecovery after exercise is just as important (if not more) than the exercises you do while you’re working out. The body can only run off what we give it, and what we give it determines our health in more ways than one.

After exercise, the body needs to be refueled with a delicate mix of protein and carbohydrates from quality foods. Not cheap protein shakes, fast food, processed bars, or junk food. Good, clean food is what it needs. Muscles can utilize these foods better than anything else, and these foods are better for our blood sugar which should be considered post-workout too.

8


A

fter we workout, our cortisol levels are normally high while insulin is usually low. This happens because we’ve put stress on the body which then causes stress hormones to pump out more abundantly in the body (namely cortisol) and insulin levels drop because glucose has been depleted which lowers blood sugar levels. This might be one reason you feel so hungry after you workout and are more likely to just grab something to help yourself feel better. Blood sugar should be managed by eating something that will provide quality carbohydrates to the body, but also to allow those carbs to enter in rapidly into the bloodstream so they can help reach muscle cells and replenish muscle glycogen stores. The key is not to choose refined carbs, but whole food based carbs.

9


Protein should also be restored, which is best utilized by muscle cells when carbs are eaten with them. Quality carbs help drive amino acids from protein into the muscle cells where they are needed most. While refined sugars will do that just fine too, they will also disrupt insulin levels and are more likely to leave you fatigued not long after. Not to mention they can lead to weight gain and inflammation, which is most definitely not what you want post-workout, right?

So, now that you know what your body needs post-workout, here are some great plant-based options to give a try:

10


FRUIT Fruit is a high in natural sugars, which makes it best to consume either before or right after your workout. This will allow your muscles to use the sugars from the fruit either for energy, or for restoring glycogen back in the muscle cells to aid in repair and blood sugar regulation.

HEMP PROTEIN Hemp protein powder is a great post-workout meal idea because though it does contain healthy fats, it’s lower in fat than whole hemp seeds and higher in protein per serving. Hemp protein is generally anywhere from 4-5 grams of fat per serving and 15-16 grams of protein. It’s also an anti-inflammatory protein that’s great at reducing muscle aches and fatigue thanks to the natural magnesium and iron found in hemp.

SWEET POTATOES If you’re up to sitting down for a meal right after you eat, choose sweet potatoes for a healthy carb source. They’re rich in natural sugars but won’t spike your blood sugar like refined carbs or even regular potatoes do. They also offer up tryptophan, an amino acid that relaxes the body and reduces stress hormones like cortisol.

Bake in the oven for a further 5-10 minutes until softened. To serve, cut each biscuit in half and serve with a maple-grilled mushroom and a large spoonful of gravy. Serve with sautéed spinach too, if you like. 14

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is known for his portrayal of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has brought this popular comic book character to life in five Marvel films, with more on the way, maintaining his chiseled muscles and elite fitness throughout the years.

How does he keep up his Marvelous-ous muscles? He went vegan.

24


Hemsworth’s personal trainer, Luke Zocchi, appeared on “Today Extra,” an Australian news and talk show, to discuss the actor’s fitness training. He revealed to host David Campbell that Hemsworth adopted a vegan diet while filming “Thor” and “Avengers.”

In an interview with Men’s Fitness Magazine, Liam said, “Through talking to me, [Chris] is somewhat adapting, I think, to eating more vegetables and plant-based stuff.”

This decision could have stemmed from Hemsworth’s younger brother, Liam, who went vegan in 2015. Like Hemsworth, Liam also pursues the active actor’s lifestyle. He’s best known for his role as Gale Hawthorne in the box office hit, “The Hunger Games.”

Zocchi admitted that even with the support of his thriving plant-based sibling, going vegan was “a big experiment,” both for Hemsworth and himself since all they knew about muscle building was eating meat as a source of protein. 25


Hemsworth’s diet was closely monitored as he continued to film and train. Zocchi cooked the majority of his meals, opposed to letting him graze from the craft service table on set. To fuel his bulging muscles and aid in workout recovery, the actor ate six times a day, or every two to three hours. His favorite meals, according to Zocchi, were bean and veggie burgers.

Apart from his brother Liam, Chris’ future sister-in-law, Miley Cyrus is also a vegan which is why he is more curious than ever before to try out the diet. He has been getting a lot of encouragement and more importantly, information from close family so it’s not as hard for Chris to comprehend how veganism works.

Eating vegan is one of the best ways to stay healthy. Experts have discovered that a plant-based diet reduces one’s risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. In fact, researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that long-term vegetarians live on average 3.6 years longer than their meateating counterparts.

the lime juice in a small bowl, then put into a blender with all the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Taste and add a little more sugar/lime juice/soy/sriracha as you see fit. Lay the block of tofu on a few sheets of kitchen paper. Fold another sheet of kitchen paper in half and use to gently press out the liquid. Cut into 8 equal-size cubes. Put the cornflour in a shallow bowl, add the five-spice powder and paprika, then mix well. Toss the tofu cubes in the spiced corn flour until they’re evenly dusted on all sides. Pour the vegetable oil into a wok and put over a high heat. Once hot, shake off any excess cornflour from the tofu, then carefully lower each nugget into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Deep-fry, turning regularly (and carefully), for 4-5 minutes until all sides are golden brown and crisp. Remove the tofu cubes from the pan using a slotted spoon or tongs, then drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle the cubes with flaked sea salt while they’re still hot – this helps to keep them crisp. Thread the fried tofu cubes onto skewers and serve with the satay dressing for dipping. Serve with a salad of your choice. 28
