"How do you get your protein?" As a vegan, you're sure to get asked
this question often. Most likely, you've even thought about it
yourself. Vegan protein comes from things like tofu and tempeh, to
beans, nuts, and protein-rich whole grains like quinoa. There are
loads of options out there, but how to prepare them? What to put
them in? These are questions that can feel daunting, especially if
you haven't used these ingredients before. Never fear. Celine Steen
and Tamasin Noyes to the rescue! The Great Vegan Protein Book takes
you step-by-step through each protein-rich vegan food group,
providing you with valuable information on how to prepare the
ingredient along with more than one hundred delicious and easy
recipes (many of them low-fat, soy free, and gluten-free!). Each
recipe included within this cookbook uses whole food ingredients
that can be easily found at most grocery stores or farmer's
markets-no hard-to-find ingredients or things you can't pronounce.

World-renowned biohacker and bestselling author Dave Asprey reveals how to maximize your well-being with the minimum effort, by taking control of your body’s operating system.
If you want to lose weight, boost your energy, or sharpen your mind, there are shelves of books offering myriad styles of advice. If you want to build up your strength and cardio fitness, there are plenty of gyms and trainers ready to offer you their guidance. What all of these resources have in common is they offer you a bad deal: a lot of effort for a little payoff. Dave Asprey has found a better way.
In Smarter Not Harder, the proven master of biohacking exposes the surprising secrets of your body’s operating system, or its “MeatOS.” That system is naturally designed to be lazy, which is why sweaty exercise routines and rigid diets produce such limited effects. Dave shows us how to hack the MeatOS and make it do what we want it to do, turning it from obstacle into ally. The key to achieving optimum wellness, he reveals, isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing less—exercising and eating smarter, not harder, and making the body’s built in laziness work for you.
Smarter Not Harder is not a diet nor a fitness plan. It is a system of targeted biohacks aimed at upgrading your metabolic, neurological, and epigenetic systems. Packed with practical, accessible information on better eating; smart workouts that give you more strength and energy in less time; and strategic therapies to reduce stress and boost resilience—Smarter Not Harder will show you how to achieve lasting health in less time.
"In pursuing the mental side of endurance, Jurek uncovers the most
important secrets any runner can learn."--Amby Burfoot, author of
"The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life"
For nearly two decades, Scott Jurek has been a dominant force--and
darling--in the grueling and growing sport of ultrarunning. Until
recently he held the American 24-hour record and he was one of the
elite runners profiled in the runaway bestseller "Born to Run."
In "Eat and Run," Jurek opens up about his life and career as a
champion athlete with a plant-based diet and inspires runners at
every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and
cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family to his slow transition to
ultrarunning and veganism, Scott's story shows the power of an iron
will and blows apart the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to
fuel optimal performance. Full of stories of competition as well as
science and practical advice--including his own recipes--"Eat and
Run" will motivate readers and expand their food horizons.
"Jurek's story and ideas should easily manage to speak to and cheer
on anyone seeking to live life as fully as possible."--"Denver
Post"
"A shockingly honest, revealing, and inspiring memoir."--"Trail
Runner"
