Badass Vegan

Fuel Your Body, Ph*ck the System, and Live Your Life Right: A Cookbook

De: John W. Lewis, Rachel Holtzman

Narrado por: John W. Lewis

A “wake you up” manifesto and plant-based lifestyle plan to buck the system that keeps us fat, sick, and tired—from the Badass Vegan.

As John Lewis, aka “The Badass Vegan,” says, when most people meet him, vegan isn’t the first word that comes to mind. He’s six-foot-six, African American, with the build of a guy who played Division I college basketball. Not bad for someone who hasn’t had any animal protein in 15 years.

Lewis became a plant-based eater when he saw how the conventional American diet was utterly failing his community. As he describes, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic pain are killing Black people faster than any gun. The issue of food injustice is huge and complex, but as Lewis tells his strong community of followers, one solution is simple: Wake up now and do better in your own life. Want to give the middle finger to the processed food and pharmaceutical industries that are keeping you fat, sick, and tired? Go plant-based.

Badass Vegan offers an irreverent and eye-opening four-part master plan to help listeners shift their mindset and enjoy the massive health benefits and pure pleasures of a plant-based lifestyle. Lewis demystifies going vegan and makes it realistic—even if you’re intimidated by a whole avocado (Lewis once was, too)—with rock-solid advice on stocking a pantry, getting your nutrients, building strength, shedding excess weight, and ultimately creating sustainable change for a lifetime of health. Complete with 75 recipes for delicious food that’ll keep you motivated, from Jack U Up Street Tacos to Cucumber Watermelon Smoothies and Kimchi Nori Maki Rolls, Badass Vegan is a timely and profoundly needed manifesto for living a life with a lower risk for disease and making a positive impact on the world.

This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF containing vegan recipes, charts, and facts.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“John Lewis, the Badass Vegan, shares his name with one of the greatest civil rights activists and leaders of our time. Like the late John Lewis, the Badass Vegan, is leading a similar charge and fighting for healthy results in our community. He uses his easy style of conversation and wit to help convince even the staunchest critic to look at the positive benefits of trying a plant-based lifestyle without being a “corn” ball…Lol.” -Cedric the Entertainer

“Holy sh*t! I lost my mind with this book. It made me feel empowered, excited, mad as hell, and fired up all at the same time. In the end, it's so clear -- it's time to break free from the broken system and reclaim your health with delicious food and the power of the fork. Grab this book today and let's make it happen!” -Will Bulsiewicz, MD, author of the New York Times bestsellers Fiber Fueled and The Fiber Fueled Cookbook

“John Lewis is a steadfast warrior for food justice, a powerful (and sometimes hilarious) voice that cuts through the noise. And this book is full of that much needed voice—incredible heart, passion, and, of course, totally irresistible recipes. I love it!” -Joanne Molinaro, author of the New York Times bestselling The Korean Vegan Cookbook

A fantastic read for both aspiring and seasoned vegans (and everything in-between)!

I just finished listening, and I have to say, it's brilliant! The book is well-thought-out, expertly crafted, and exceptionally written. I loved how it balanced solid empirical data with witty humor, including those clever double entendres that reveal the author’s personality. At times, it felt like I was in church, nodding in agreement and even finishing a few sentences. Despite being a vegan for almost ten years, I’ve gained far more knowledge than I expected. I’m excited to start my floor one journey tomorrow, perfectly timed with the new month!

Easy Peasy Vegan Blue Print.

I enjoyed the entire book. I’ve been WFPB for 14 years and am excited to cook up some of the recipes. Here’s to you John Lewis. I know your name sake is smiling down on you. You too are an activist for our right to be happy and healthy for life. Thank you. See you on the gram for more laughter and plant based education. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Truth

Very informative understanding what I’m putting in my system, need for change in my health.

Loved It!

Presentation was great, as was the content. Some of the material also has an anti-racist message, which is fine with me. The author makes it fun to be a vegan. You will enjoy this book:)

I LOVED IT

Real, Raw, & Straight To The Point!! Why Everyone Should Go Vegan & STAY THERE!! Thanks Badass Vegan!!

Great approach to veganism with a sense of humor

I enjoyed the book and appreciated his approach to veganism infused with facts and humor. John narrates the book and kept me engaged the entire time. He make compelling arguments for going vegan by the human welfare, animal welfare, environmental and health perspectives. I have heard all of these rationales in the past, but appreciated his humor and how he phrased certain perspectives that might resonate with more people. I live near and work in a hospital in St. Louis where John is from and see the impact of food deserts and an unhealthy diet on the health of our population. I loved the PDF that accompanied the audible book which was 120 pages of information and recipes. Highly recommend this book.

I love being vegan

The information and descriptive details about the schemes and government regulations that are against saving human kind. This book provided valuable information that is lifesaving to all! The way the information was delivered was intriguing! Thank you #NY

Great Info for Current Vegans Also

It focuses on plant based diets but encourages starting where you are, even if that means semi unhealthy vegan food. There’s a nice balance of personal storytelling and scientific information. Very easy to listen to and feels like listening to a friend. I was already plant based but I learned about new foods and research.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

Loved it and can’t wait to share and try recipes Thanks Jon you did good
