Clean Protein: A Revolution for Your Body and Our Planet
Kathy Freston - 2018
So this book is about how to eat better protein... Some protein you can eat to your heart's content and your body will remain happy-this is what we refer to as clean protein. Other forms of protein are fine in small amounts but can cause serious disease when consumed regularly-we call this dirty protein."Do vegans get enough protein? Is it safe for people on Paleo diets to eat so much meat? How much protein do people really need to be healthy? The debate rages on about how much protein is optimal, but one thing is clear: too much meat can be deadly, and the current methods of cultivating protein are killing our environment. In THE CLEAN PROTEIN REVOLUTION, Kathy Freston and Bruce Friedrich (Executive Director of the Good Food Institute) address how to know how much protein is right for your body, and offer delicious recipes and meal plans to help you incorporate healthy protein into your diet. Along the way they describe how new sources of clean protein (i.e. protein that doesn't require animal agriculture) can be sustainably produced, and include fascinating interviews and information from game-changing academics and entrepreneurs who are poised to revolutionize the food supply and the economics of agriculture world-wide.
Living in the Long Emergency: Global Crisis, the Failure of the Futurists, and the Early Adapters Who Are Showing Us the Way Forward
James Howard Kunstler - 2020
For anyone asking “Now what?” the answer is out there. You just have to know where to look.
In his 2005 book, The Long Emergency, James Howard Kunstler described the global predicaments that would pitch the USA into political and economic turmoil in the 21st century—the end of affordable oil, climate irregularities, and flagging economic growth, to name a few. Now, he returns with a book that takes an up-close-and-personal approach to how real people are living now—surviving The Long Emergency as it happens. Through his popular blog, Clusterf**ck Nation, Kunstler has had the opportunity to connect with people from across the country. They’ve shared their stories with him—sometimes over years of correspondence—and in Living in the Long Emergency: Global Crisis, the Failure of the Futurists, and the Early Adapters Who Are Showing Us the Way Forward, he shares them with us, offering an eye-opening and unprecedented look at what’s really going on “out there” in the US—and beyond.Coming from all walks of life, the individuals you’ll meet in these pages have one thing in common: their stories acutely illustrate the changing realities real people are facing—and coping with—every day. In profiles of their fascinating lives, Kunstler paints vivid, human portraits that offer a “slice of life” from people whose struggles and triumphs all too often go ignored. With personal accounts from a Vermont baker, homesteaders, a building contractor in the Baltimore ghetto, a white nationalist, and many more, Living in the Long Emergency is a unique and timely exploration of how the lives of everyday Americans are being transformed, for better and for worse, and what these stories tell us both about the future and about human perseverance.

Brain-Powered Weight Loss: The 11-Step Behavior-Based Plan That Ends Overeating and Leads to Dropping Unwanted Pounds for Good
Eliza Kingsford - 2017
In Brain-Powered Weight Loss, psychotherapist and weight management expert Eliza Kingsford shows that more than 90 percent of people who go on diet programs (even healthy ones) fail or eventually regain because they have a dysfunctional relationship with food. Changing this relationship by changing the way you think about and behave around food is what it takes to permanently achieve weight-loss success. Kingsford’s 11-step first-of-its-kind program enlists dozens of mind-altering and behavior-changing exercises and techniques that shows you how to:· Identify and reverse the conscious and unconscious thinking errors and food triggers that lead to the behaviors that drive our food decisions.· Let go of the mindset of going on or off a diet in favor of a conscious quest to pursue a lifestyle of healthy eating and everyday activity — one that can last forever. · Successfully use what Kingsford calls “dealing skills” to outsmart high-risk situations, tame stressful times, and prevent an eating “slip” from leading to a setback or all-out binge.· Find out if you have what emerging research shows is an addiction to certain high-fat and sugar-added, processed foods that can be as powerful as addiction to cigarettes and narcotics.· Design a personal healthy eating program built on Kingsford’s 10 Principles of Healthy Eating.
