Scott Jurek anabadwa mu 1973, ndipo anayamba kuthamanga ali wamng'ono, kuthamanga kunamuthandiza kusiya mavuto a m'banja. Iye ankathamanga kwambiri tsiku lililonse. Anathamanga chifukwa zinamukondweretsa ndipo zinamulola kuti aiwale zenizeni kwa kanthawi. Palibe zodabwitsa kuthamanga kumatengedwa ngati kusinkhasinkha. Poyamba, iye sanasonyeze zotsatira mkulu, ndipo pa mpikisano wa sukulu m'deralo anatenga malo makumi awiri pa makumi awiri ndi zisanu. Koma Scott anathamanga chimodzimodzi, chifukwa chimodzi mwa mfundo za moyo wake chinali mawu a abambo ake, "Tiyenera, ndiye tiyenera."
Kwa nthawi yoyamba, adaganiza za ubale pakati pa zakudya ndi maphunziro ku kampu ya Berka Team ski, akadali kusukulu. Kumsasawo, anyamatawo adadyetsedwa lasagna yamasamba ndi saladi zosiyanasiyana, ndipo Scott adawona momwe amamvera atatha kudya, komanso kulimbitsa thupi kwake. Atabwerera kunyumba kuchokera kumsasa, adayamba kuphatikizira m'zakudya zake zomwe ankakonda kuziganizira za "chakudya cha hippie": granola ya apulo pa kadzutsa ndi pasitala yambewu zonse ndi sipinachi nkhomaliro. Achibale ndi mabwenzi ankamuyang’ana modabwa, ndipo nthaŵi zonse panalibe ndalama zokwanira zogulira zinthu zachilendo zodula. Choncho, zakudya zotere sizinakhale chizolowezi panthawiyo, ndipo Scott anakhala wosadya nyama, chifukwa cha mtsikana Lea, amene anakhala mkazi wake.
Panali njira ziwiri zosinthira malingaliro ake pazakudya. Choyamba ndi pamene iye, pochita masewera olimbitsa thupi m'chipatala chimodzi (Scott Jurek ndi dokotala mwa maphunziro), adaphunzira za zifukwa zitatu zazikulu za imfa ku United States: matenda a mtima, khansa ndi sitiroko. Zonsezi zimagwirizana mwachindunji ndi zakudya zaku Western, zomwe zimayendetsedwa ndi zoyengedwa, zopangidwa ndi nyama. Mfundo yachiwiri imene inakhudza maganizo a Scott inali nkhani imene inandigwira mwangozi ponena za dokotala Andrew Weil, yemwe ankakhulupirira kuti thupi la munthu lingathe kudzichiritsa wekha. Amangofunika kupereka zofunikira: kusunga zakudya zoyenera komanso kuchepetsa kumwa poizoni.
Kubwera ku zamasamba, Scott Jurek adayamba kuphatikiza mitundu ingapo ya mapuloteni mu mbale imodzi kuti apatse thupi kuchuluka kofunikira kwa mapuloteni. Anapanga phala la mphodza ndi bowa, phala la hummus ndi azitona, mpunga wa bulauni ndi burritos wa nyemba.
Atafunsidwa momwe angapezere mapuloteni okwanira kuti akwaniritse bwino masewerawa, adagawana malangizo angapo: kuwonjezera mtedza, mbewu ndi ufa wa mapuloteni (mwachitsanzo, kuchokera ku mpunga) mpaka m'mawa smoothies, chakudya chamasana, kuwonjezera pa kutumikira kwakukulu kwa saladi wobiriwira, khalani ndi zidutswa za tofu kapena onjezerani tinthu tating'ono ta hummus ndikudya zakudya zomanga thupi za nyemba ndi mpunga pa chakudya chamadzulo.
Pamene Scott adapita patsogolo m'njira yodyera zamasamba, ndiye kuti adapambana mpikisano wochulukirapo pambuyo pake. Iye anadza choyamba pamene ena anasiyiratu. Pamene mpikisano udatenga tsiku, mumayenera kutenga chakudya. Scott Jurek anadzipangira yekha mbatata, burritos mpunga, hummus tortillas, zotengera za phala la amondi, tofu "cheesy" wopaka, ndi nthochi pasadakhale. Ndipo akamadya bwino, amamva bwino. Ndipo pamene ndinamva bwino, ndinadya kwambiri. Mafuta ochuluka pamene akudya chakudya chofulumira anali atapita, kulemera kunachepa, ndipo minofu inakula. Nthawi yobwezeretsa pakati pa katundu yachepetsedwa.
Mosayembekezeka, Scott adayika manja ake pa Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now ndipo adaganiza zoyesa kukhala wodya zakudya zosaphika ndikuwona zomwe zimachitika. Anaphika masaladi amitundu yonse, buledi wosaphika komanso kumwa kwambiri zipatso zosalala. Zakudya zokometsera zidakulitsidwa mpaka Scott amatha kuzindikira kupsa kwa chakudya. Patapita nthawi, iye anabwerera ku zamasamba, ndipo izi zinachitika pazifukwa zingapo. Malingana ndi Scott Jurek mwiniwake, nthawi yochuluka inkathera kuwerengera ma calories ndi kutafuna chakudya. Ndinkayenera kudya pafupipafupi komanso kwambiri, zomwe ndi moyo wake sizinali zabwino nthawi zonse. Komabe, zinali chifukwa cha zomwe zinachitikira zakudya zosaphika zomwe smoothies zinakhala gawo lolimba la zakudya zake.
Mmodzi wa Hardrock "wakuthengo ndi wosasunthika" asanayambe kuthamanga, Scott anadumpha mwendo wake ndi kukoka mitsempha yake. Kuti achepetse vutoli, adamwa malita a mkaka wa soya ndi turmeric ndikugona ndi mwendo wake mmwamba kwa maola ambiri. Anayamba kupezako bwino, koma kuthamanga kwa tsiku lathunthu mumsewu wopanda tinjira kunkaoneka ngati wamisala. Theka lokha la omwe adatenga nawo gawo adamaliza, ndipo anthu angapo adamwalira ndi edema ya m'mapapo ndi matenda am'mimba. Ndipo kuyerekezera zinthu m'maganizo chifukwa cha kusowa tulo kwa mitundu yotere kumakhala kofala. Koma Scott Jurek sanangoyendetsa mpikisanowu, kugonjetsa ululu, komanso adapambana, kukonza mbiri ya maphunzirowo ndi mphindi 31. Pamene ankathamanga, anadzikumbutsa kuti “Ululu ndi ululu chabe” ndiponso “Sikuti ululu uliwonse uyenera kusamalidwa.” Anali wosamala ndi mankhwala, makamaka anti-inflammatory ibuprofen, yomwe othamanga ake adameza m'manja. Kotero Scott adadzipangira yekha njira yotsutsana ndi kutupa kwa smoothie, yomwe inaphatikizapo, mwa zina, chinanazi, ginger ndi turmeric. Chakumwachi chimachepetsa ululu wa minofu ndikuthandiza kuti achire bwino panthawi yophunzitsidwa.
Chakudya chomwe wothamanga ankachikonda kwambiri paubwana chinali mbatata yosenda yokhala ndi mkaka wambiri. Atakhala wosadya zamasamba, adabwera ndi mtundu wa mbewu, m'malo mwa mkaka wa ng'ombe ndi mpunga, zomwe, mwa njira, amadzikonzekeretsa. Mpunga mkaka si okwera mtengo monga mtedza mkaka, ndipo nthawi yomweyo chokoma kwambiri. Iye sanangowonjezera izo ku mbale zazikulu, komanso anapanga smoothies ndi mphamvu kugwedeza kwa maphunziro zochokera izo.
M'magawo a Ultra-marathoner, panalinso malo opangira zokometsera, zothandiza kwambiri komanso zolemera mu mapuloteni ndi chakudya chambiri. Chimodzi mwazakudya zomwe Scott amakonda kwambiri ndi chokoleti chopangidwa kuchokera ku nyemba, nthochi, oatmeal, mkaka wa mpunga ndi koko. Chia seed pudding, yomwe tsopano ili yotchuka kwambiri pakati pa anthu okonda zamasamba, ndi njira yabwino kwambiri yopangira maswiti kwa wothamanga, chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa mapuloteni. Ndipo, ndithudi, Scott Jurek anapanga mipira yamphamvu yaiwisi kuchokera ku mtedza, njere, madeti, ndi zipatso zina zouma.
Zakudya zamasewera a vegan sizovuta monga zimawonekera poyang'ana koyamba. Nthawi yomweyo, imapereka mphamvu zopanda mphamvu, kumawonjezera mphamvu ndi kupirira kambirimbiri.
Malinga ndi zimene Jurek ananena, moyo wathu umaumbidwa ndi zimene tikuchita panopa. Scott Jurek adapeza njira yake kudzera muzakudya zopatsa thanzi komanso kuthamanga. Ndani akudziwa, mwina zidzakuthandizani inunso.
