For anyone interested (new approach to eating; plant-based)

Julie_23 · ‎04-10-2010

Some of you may have heard of Rip Esselstyn. He is a former firefighter that went plant-based years ago. (He is the son of Caldwell Esselstyn, MD who does a lot of heart disease reversal.)

On engine2diet (dot) com, there is a 7-day walkthrough of doing a plant-based way of eating. Including, a downloadable form to give to your doctor !!! (Interesting!!)

It's free, too. Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone was interested. It apparently also has live interactive facebook chats to ask questions.

Chef AJ is doing one 1/6 at 1pm ET.

The website engine2diet (dot) com has more of the info, if interested!

Ah, Engine2. I making a connection here - I've seen those cereals in Whole Foods and they look pretty good. Planning on buying a box once I finish up some of my current stash.

Thanks for posting. Chef AJ makes some really yummy recipes...very simple and some use an instant pot. You can view some of her recipes on You Tube.

While I don't think I could do this, I'm interested and will check it out. Right now, I'm working on some baby step eating changes.

Yes, they have a lot of Engine2Diet stuff at Whole Foods. Whole Foods is based in Austin, TX, the same location of the Engine 2 firehouse where this all started. There was a lot of publicity around the diet and the Whole Food launch when it started.

Rip...woof!

He spreads a beautiful plant-based message, but he sure is easy on the eyes! Hope to meet him in April when he's doing his book tour. I'll report back. ;P

Love all the plant-based leaders....it's just one big 'ole happy family who wants everyone to have what they have! Neat community.

Speaking of family, here's a pic of Rip, Ann & Dr. Esselstyn...good looking & strong athletic genes run in the family! (Did you know Dr. Esselstyn won Gold on the '56 Olympic Rowing Team?)
