Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Scott Jurek i ka makahiki 1973, a ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e holo i ka wā ʻōpiopio, ua kōkua ka holo ʻana iā ia e hoʻololi i nā pilikia o ka ʻohana. Ua holo ʻoi aku ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia lā. Ua holo ʻo ia no ka mea ʻoluʻolu iā ia a hiki iā ia ke poina i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo no kekahi manawa. ʻAʻohe mea kupanaha e manaʻo ʻia ka holo ʻana he ʻano noʻonoʻo. I ka wā mua, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hōʻike i nā hopena kiʻekiʻe, a ma nā hoʻokūkū o nā kula kūloko ua lawe ʻo ia i ka iwakāluakūmālua o ka iwakāluakūmālima. Akā ua holo like ʻo Scott, no ka mea, ʻo kekahi o nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo o kona ola, ʻo ia ka ʻōlelo a kona makuakāne, "Pono mākou, a laila pono mākou."
No ka manawa mua, ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia e pili ana i ka pilina ma waena o ka meaʻai a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma ke kahua hoʻomoana ski Team Berka, ʻoiai ʻo ia ma ke kula. Ma ke kahua hoʻomoana, ua hānai ʻia nā kāne i ka lasagna meaʻai a me nā salakeke like ʻole, a ʻike ʻo Scott i ka ʻoi aku o ka ikaika o kona manaʻo ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana, a me ka ikaika o kāna mau hana. Ma hope o ka hoʻi ʻana mai i ka home mai kahi hoʻomoana, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻokomo i kāna meaʻai i ka mea āna i manaʻo ai i ka "ʻai hippie": ʻo ka apple granola no ka ʻaina kakahiaka a me ka pasta palaoa piha me ka spinach no ka ʻaina awakea. Nānā nā ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha iā ia me ka pīhoihoi, a ʻaʻole lawa mau ke kālā no nā huahana maʻamau. No laila, ʻaʻole i lilo kēlā ʻano meaʻai i mea maʻamau i kēlā manawa, a ua lilo ʻo Scott i vegan ma hope, mahalo i ke kaikamahine Lea, i lilo i wahine nāna.
ʻElua mau wahi huli i kona manaʻo no ka ʻai. ʻO ka mea mua, ʻoiai ʻo ia e hoʻomaʻamaʻa kino ana i kekahi o nā halemai (ʻo Scott Jurek ke kauka ma ke aʻo ʻana), aʻo ʻo ia e pili ana i nā kumu nui ʻekolu o ka make ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa: ka maʻi puʻuwai, ka maʻi kanesa a me ka hahau. Pili pololei lākou a pau i ka meaʻai maʻamau o Western, kahi i hoʻomalu ʻia e nā huahana i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia, hana ʻia a me nā holoholona. ʻO ka lua o ka manaʻo i hoʻohuli i ko Scott manaʻo, he ʻatikala i hopu hewa ʻia koʻu maka e pili ana i ke kauka Andrew Weil, ka mea i manaʻoʻiʻo he hiki i ke kino o ke kanaka ke ho'ōla iā ia iho. Ponoʻo ia e hāʻawi i nā kūlana kūpono: mālama i ka meaʻai kūpono a ho'ēmi i kaʻaiʻana i nā toxins.
Ke hele mai nei i ka veganism, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Scott Jurek e hoʻohui i nā ʻano huahana protein i hoʻokahi kīʻaha i mea e hāʻawi ai i ke kino i ka nui o ka protein. Ua hana ʻo ia i nā pā lentil a me nā halo, nā hummus a me nā pā ʻoliva, nā laiki ʻulaʻula a me nā burritos pīni.
I ka nīnau ʻia ʻana pehea e loaʻa ai ka nui o ka protein e hoʻokō ai i kēlā kūleʻa i nā haʻuki, hāʻawi ʻo ia i kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo: hoʻohui i nā nati, nā hua a me ka palaoa protein (no ka laʻana, mai ka laiki) i ka smoothies kakahiaka, no ka ʻaina awakea, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kahi lawelawe nui o ka salakeke ʻōmaʻomaʻo. e loaʻa i nā ʻāpana tofu a i ʻole e hoʻohui i kekahi mau kīʻaha hummus a loaʻa i ka ʻai protein piha o nā legumes a me ka laiki no ka ʻaina ahiahi.
ʻO ka holomua ʻana o Scott ma ke ala o kahi meaʻai vegan piha, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā lanakila hoʻokūkū ma hope ona. Ua hele mua ʻo ia ma kahi i haʻalele loa ai nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. Ke holo ka heihei i ka lā, pono ʻoe e lawe pū me ʻoe. Ua hana ʻo Scott Jurek iā ia iho i ʻuala, laiki burritos, hummus tortillas, pahu o ka paʻi ʻalemona homemade, tofu "cheesy" pālahalaha, a me ka maiʻa ma mua o ka manawa. A ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna ʻai ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kona manaʻo. A ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o koʻu manaʻo, ʻoi aku ka nui o kaʻu ʻai ʻana. Ua pau ka momona i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai wikiwiki, ua emi ke kaumaha, a ua kūkulu ʻia nā ʻiʻo. Ua hōʻemi ʻia ka manawa hoʻihoʻi ma waena o nā ukana.
ʻAʻole i manaʻo ʻia, ua kau ʻo Scott i kona mau lima ma ka Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now a ua hoʻoholo e hoʻāʻo e lilo i mea meaʻai maka a ʻike i ka mea e hiki mai ana. Hoʻomoʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho i nā ʻano salakeke a pau, nā berena palahalaha a inu nui i nā lau ʻai hua. Ua ʻoi aku ka ʻono a hiki i kahi hiki ke ʻike maʻalahi ʻo Scott i ka hou o ka meaʻai. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ua hoʻi hou ʻo ia i ka veganism, a ua hana ʻia kēia no nā kumu he nui. Wahi a Scott Jurek iā ia iho, ua nui ka manawa i hoʻohana ʻia i ka helu ʻana i nā calorie a me ka nau ʻana i ka meaʻai. Pono wau e ʻai pinepine a nui, ʻaʻole maʻalahi me kona ʻano nohona. Eia naʻe, mahalo i ka ʻike o ka ʻai meaʻai maka i lilo ka smoothies i ʻāpana paʻa o kāna ʻai.
Ma mua o ka holo ʻana o kahi o Hardrock "ʻāhiu a paʻa ʻole", ua kī ʻo Scott i kona wāwae a huki i kāna ligaments. No ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ke kūlana, inu ʻo ia i nā lita o ka waiū soy me ka turmeric a moe me kona wāwae i luna no nā hola. Ua ʻoi aku kona maikaʻi, akā ʻo ka holo ʻana no ka lā holoʻokoʻa ma ke ala ʻaʻohe ala he mea pupule. ʻO ka hapalua wale nō o ka poʻe i komo i ka laina hoʻopau, a ua make kekahi poʻe i ka edema pulmonary a me nā maʻi digestive. A he mea maʻamau ka hallucinations ma muli o ka hiamoe ʻole no ia mau lāhui. Akā, ʻaʻole wale ʻo Scott Jurek i hoʻokele i kēia marathon, lanakila i ka ʻeha, akā lanakila nō hoʻi, hoʻomaikaʻi i ka moʻolelo papa ma 31 mau minuke. I kona holo ʻana, hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia iā ia iho "He ʻeha wale nō ka ʻeha" a "ʻAʻole pono nā ʻeha a pau e nānā." Ua makaʻala ʻo ia i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, ʻoi aku ka anti-inflammatory ibuprofen, kahi i ʻai ʻia e kāna mau hoa hoʻokūkū holo i loko o nā lima. No laila ua hele mai ʻo Scott me kahi ʻano meaʻai smoothie anti-inflammatory nona iho, ʻo ia hoʻi, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, ka pineapple, ginger a me ka turmeric. Ua hōʻoluʻolu kēia inu i ka ʻeha o ka ʻiʻo a kōkua i ka hoʻōla maikaʻi ʻana i ka wā hoʻomaʻamaʻa.
ʻO ka ʻuala punahele a ka mea pāʻani i ka wā kamaliʻi, ʻo ia ka ʻuala me ka hapa waiu maikaʻi. Ma hope o ka lilo ʻana i vegan, ua hele mai ʻo ia me kahi ʻano mea kanu o ia mea, e pani ana i ka waiū bipi me ka laiki, a ma ke ala, hoʻomākaukau ʻo ia iā ia iho. ʻAʻole i like ke kumukūʻai o ka waiu laiki e like me ka waiū nut, a i ka manawa like he ʻono loa. ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia i hoʻohui iā ia i nā kīʻaha nui, akā ua hana pū kekahi i nā smoothies a me nā haʻalulu ikaika no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma muli o ia.
I loko o ka papa inoa o ka ultra-marathoner, aia kekahi wahi no nā mea ʻono, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ka waiwai i nā protein a me nā haʻahaʻa paʻakikī. ʻO kekahi o nā mea ʻono punahele a Scott, ʻo ia nā pahu kokoleka i hana ʻia mai ka pīni, ka maiʻa, ka oatmeal, ka waiu laiki a me ka koko. ʻO ka pudding hua Chia, kaulana loa i waena o nā mea ʻai meaʻai, he mea ʻono maikaʻi loa ia no ka mea hoʻokūkū, hoʻomaikaʻi hou i kāna ʻike protein. A ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hana ʻo Scott Jurek i nā pōpō ikehu maka mai nā nati, nā ʻanoʻano, nā lā, a me nā hua maloʻo ʻē aʻe.
ʻAʻole paʻakikī ka meaʻai haʻuki Vegan e like me ka mea i ʻike mua ʻia. I ka manawa like, hāʻawi ia i ka ikehu maoli, hoʻonui i ka ikaika a me ka hoʻomanawanui i nā manawa he nui.
Wahi a Jurek iā ia iho, ua hoʻohālikelike ʻia ko mākou ola e nā ʻanuʻu a mākou e hana nei i kēia manawa. Ua loaʻa iā Scott Jurek kona ala ponoʻī ma o ka ʻai kaulike a me ka holo. ʻO wai ka mea ʻike, malia paha e kōkua pū kekahi iā ʻoe.
