Product Description
"I've known Rip for more than 20 years. In that time, he's been a great motivator for so many people. This terrific book will inspire all who read it to change their lives and optimize their health."-Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor, seven-time Tour de France champion
Lose weight, lower cholesterol, significantly reduce the risk of disease, and become physically fit--in just 4 weeks.
Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn is used to responding to emergencies. So, when he learned that some of his fellow Engine 2 firefighters in Austin, TX, were in dire physical condition-several had dangerously high cholesterol levels (the highest was 344!)-he sprang into action and created a life-saving plan for the firehouse. By following Rip's program, everyone lost weight (some more than 20 lbs.), lowered their cholesterol (Mr. 344's dropped to 196), and improved their overall health. Now, Rip outlines his proven plan in this book. With Rip as your expert coach and motivator, you'll transform your body and lifestyle in a month. His plant-powered eating plan is based on a diet of whole foods, including whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. This invaluable guide features: **Dozens of easy, mouthwatering recipes-from pancakes to pizza, Tex-Mex favorites to knockout chocolate desserts-that will keep you looking forward to every bite **Pantry-stocking tips will take the panic out of inevitable cravings and on-the-fly meals **Guidelines on menu choices that will allow you to eat out, wherever and whenever you want **Rip's simple, firefighter-inspired exercise program that will boost your metabolism and melt your fat away.
Medically approved, easy-to-follow, and amazingly effective, this diet is designed for anyone who wants to make heroic strides in his or her health, weight, and well-being-all without heroic effort.
"Want to be as strong as a Texas firefighter? Or as healthy as a professional triathlete? Then follow the wonderful advice of Rip Esselstyn, who is both. His book can save your life--whether you're a man or a woman. Highly recommended!" -Dean Ornish, M.D., Founder and President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, Clinical Professor of Medicine, U of CaliforniaSF, author, Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease

The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter's 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan that Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds
Great kick-ass recipes, all while getting healthier!! What more could one want? May 4, 2010

I can't say enough good about this book. He presents the vegan diet in a no nonsense manner and makes it alluring and easy enough for anyone to follow, but still provides some excellent recipes for us more experienced veggie-heads. I've been a vegan for a good while, so most of the information in the book is nothing new for me personally. I will say that prior to my vegan days I was a meat eater with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and a laundry list of health issues. Since going vegan everything that he states in his book rang true for me. My blood pressure and cholesterol came down to normal ranges and I am off my diabetic medications completely. Not only did I lose weight, but I noticed such benefits as smoother, clearer skin, I'm not as winded climbing up stairs and I feel over all much, much better... I have the energy of a teenager! Initially when I went vegan I was afraid that I would miss things like cheese and meat, but instead I have found a whole new world of food that tastes fabulous. I have sacrificed nothing! For anyone considering a transition to a Vegan diet, my recommendation is just "do it"! You're body will thank you for it. I've never looked back. By the way, the Engine 2 lasagna in his book is to die for!!!
Excellent Pattern April 20, 2010

Very entertaining and informative book. I think it would especially appeal to men who want to be healthy, but are having trouble giving up the Standard American Diet (SAD). Rip offers a great pattern for healthy lifestyle or for reversing the path a diseased body it taking. Recipes I've tried are excellent (the brownies are the BEST I've ever tasted!). Great data on the effects of eating healthy. I've already recommended this book to several people.
Great service March 28, 2010

Thank you for this book. It was a great service. I thought I wanted to cancel and accomodations were offered. However, when that diet didn't work, my husband turned to this and it is working, BP and weight coming down significantly while still feeling satisfied, glad I didn't cancel.
