Another reviewer criticized the approach which includes eliminating oil and reducing avocados and nuts. Since my husband and I started the vegan-eating lifestyle we have lost a lot of weight and my diabetic husband has been able to eliminate his insulin injections. However, during the summer, we were eating more nuts as a between meal snack. We noticed a jump in his weight (10 pounds in 3 months). So, we are eliminating almost all nuts again. Also, when you learn to saute with vegetable broth rather than oil, you don't miss the oil at all. There are several recipes for salad dressings that don't use oil and these as well as ones I got from the Joel Fuhrman book are great. We have also found that a "clean" salsa which doesn't use oil or sugar and very low salt is a nice salad dressing.
Whether you adopt the plant-based approach to eating in whole or part, I think a lot of people would benefit from knowing more about the benefits of eating a higher proportion of vegetarian or vegan meals and having some alternative recipes that will please most palates.

See that movie. Read this book and participate in wellness.

In addition to removing meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy, it also has you do without added oil--vegetable, olive. etc. (due to it's high fat content and the processing that removes nutrients). That has been the hardest part for me--although I tend to not be a heavy oil user and reduce it in most recipes I have to stop myself from cooking with it. Otherwise the eating plan has been easy to stick to, leaves me full and satisfied but "lighter" feeling. It emphasizes whole unprocessed foods--fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes and also nuts, seeds and avocado (in limited quantities if trying to lose weight).
The book outlines the basic concepts in an easy readable way- and about half of the almost 280 pages are recipes. I have tried several of the recipes from the book--some better than others. They could all use a little more ompfh in the seasoning department--but by adding a bit more garlic, spices, etc., many of them have turned out quite tasty and I have managed to keep the sodium down (another non-no). I'll be posting some of them and updates on how it's going and my progress on the blog.
More of a lifestyle than a diet, I will likely not strictly adhere to the plan after the 28 days but it will change some of my eating habits for the better.

The Engine 2 Diet is written by a firefighter who, following studies done by his medical doctor father, did a study of 13 firefighters and 2 civilians with the twenty-eight day plant-based Engine 2 diet. All were able to reduce their cholesterol, some significantly.The book covers food myths, case testimonials, target BP & BMI, and how to read food labels. There is a section with basic cardiovascular exercises such as jumping jacks and step-ups. The exercise section is short, but covers all body areas and is mostly aerobic and body strengthening workouts. Most able-body persons will be able to accomplish the exercise routine.
The recipe section is more extensive with foods for every meal and dessert. This is, however, a very strict vegetarian diet. Most of the ingredients are readily available in your grocery store. Living in a small town area, I always take notice of the availability of the ingredients recommended. One lesser known ingredient that is frequently listed is Bragg Liquid Aminos, of which I just recently received a free sample. It is simply a healthier version of soy sauce and can be ordered online if not in your stores. Even in small towns, most grocers now have frozen meat substitutes.
Strict diets are difficult to stick to, but if you want to be healthy, I'd at least give this one a try for the initial two weeks. You may be hooked on it!

I really enjoyed the mac n no-cheese recipe and the quinoa and kale recipe. I got this book out at the library so I copied a few more recipes for later use :)I don't think this book does a very good job of explaining how to lose weight. If you are currently eating McDonalds everyday, yeah, you'll lose weight using this book. The average dieter, who probably has tried at least a couple of diets in the past might need a little more guidance. Many of the recipes, although vegan, oil-free and whole grain, are somewhat high calorie (lots of grains and avocados). The desserts seem only marginally healthier than traditional desserts (they are vegan but sugar is sugar...)
I also don't get the reliance on soy meat substitutes in this book. I have been vegetarian for several years and while I occasionally enjoy these products, I don't really think they are healthy (I eat them when I want something a bit junk foody)...much too processed. Tofu and tempeh or beans are much better sources of protein in a vegan diet.

My mother is a vegetarian and we both decided to try this diet after seeing it on WholeFoods.com. Thee recommended diet changes have had a positive impact on her cholesterol levels and insulin requirements plus we're both losing weight.My only critique is specific to a few recipes we didn't care for, however, we like most.

We may not strictly stick to a vegan lifestyle post-diet but most of our day-to-day meals will be vegan and healthy.
Rip also has a website that has useful tools and video: http://engine2diet.com/
I look forward to seeing and trying new E2 recipes and highly recommend this book.

I would imagine that Rip would appeal to loads of people - and I guess his aim here is perhaps focus more on men who perhaps don't ever think about diet... as a firefighter Rip is fighting fire and bad health!I like Rip, he seems delightful, and possibly quite forceful and also strong.... his recipes tho seem kinda unappealing (haven't tried any so could be way off) and seem aimed more at people that don't cook, as a recipe for pizza goes something like - buy a pizza base, buy pasta sauce - put it on the pizza and add veg. I want a bit more from a cookbook than that - plus all the pizza bases that we are allowed to eat are all American makes so we probably can't even get them here in the uk.
There are quotes and support from lance Armstrong too, which i'm sure don't help any these days.
but despite all that it is inspiring! it makes you want to eat better (it's all vegan (what rip calls 'plant-strong') but also no oils or fats and little alcohol) and also to exercise more and that's always a good thing

I volunteer at my local fire department, and ironically, we had some required training regarding firefighter health and eating habits that I went through at the same time that I read this. The training emphasized how firefighters over the age of 40 had large waists and an average BMI of 29, and the doctors suggested that firefighters needed to do a better job of controlling portion sizes.The reason I mention the training is because it gave me a new appreciation for this book. The suggestion to cut down on portion sizes irks me, because people eat to feel nourished. To me, suggesting to cut down on portion sizes is essentially suggesting that you cannot feel satiated if you want to be healthy.
This book, rather than lecturing you, shows how you can adjust your diet in such a way that you can feel nourished without consuming huge portions of foods. I really think this is the key to any diet. We all know that losing weight means burning more calories than we consume, but a good diet will actually show you how to manage your caloric intake without feeling uncomfortable. It will also provide encouragement beyond your standard scare tactics (e.g., if you don't follow this diet you'll die an early death).
While this book does explain how eating an animal-based diet increases your risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, etc., it also emphasizes that switching to a plant-based diet will actually make you feel better. Your digestive system will be more efficient, your energy levels will be more stable, and once your body has adjusted to reduced levels of fat, sodium, etc., you will actually develop a whole new appreciation for the natural flavors of foods.
It took me a while to decide what I thought of the firefighting angle of this book. Esselstyn mixes in anecdotes about his firefighting and professional athlete career with the dietary advice in this book. It was a nice touch, because it kept the book from getting too monotonous and repetitive, but I do think some of the connections he drew were rather tenuous. (For instance, he'll tell a story about firefighters being out of shape when they try to climb a bunch of stairs, or how a fire chief came close to dying from 3rd degree burns, and then say that this illuminates the brevity of life and the importance of being healthy. Which isn't exactly a lie, but I suspect he more wanted to tell the story because it was a fun story to tell than to prove a point.)
The exercise plan he drew up was good; I was impressed with how successfully he put together a plan that could be tailored to anyone from a novice to an elite athlete. I do wish he had spent a little more time emphasizing the importance of exercise. I don't know how Austin works, but here in Virginia firefighters are required to do physical training every day that they're working. If Esselstyn could have cited some studies showing the connection between exercise and improved heart health, or the correlation between blood pressure and the amount of exercise a person gets in a week, or how exercise can improve everything from insomnia to depression, I think it would have been a great asset to his overall message of dieting not just to lose weight, but to improve your health and fitness.
There was an unfortunate dearth of information concerning HDL cholesterol. This might not be a big deal to most people, but to me it was because my overall cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are both in the healthy range, but my HDL cholesterol is low. For all the times he emphasized that this diet would lower overall and LDL cholesterol levels, he never said what this diet would do to HDL cholesterol levels, and that's pretty important to me. I actually e-mailed the author asking about this. I haven't received a response yet, but I e-mailed him less than a week ago.
I also was not satisfied with the author's explanation of protein. He said that most Americans suffer from an excess of protein, and that countries which consume lower levels of protein are often healthier. But protein is the macronutrient best known to provide satiation and a steady supply of energy, and while I can understand the dangers of consuming proteins that also contain high levels of saturated fat, I don't understand why Esselstyn thinks it would be beneficial to cut out lean meats.
I would have liked to see more of a discussion on added hormones and how this contributes to cancer in the American population.
Overall, this was an interesting presentation of material, but I will not be inclined to try it unless I can be convinced that the lack of protein will not be harmful to my energy levels, and that it will not drop my HDL cholesterol levels even further below where they're supposed to be. This book did not convince me.

In a nutshell: This is a great book for anyone who needs to lose weight or lower their cholesterol. It is a pretty strict diet, eliminating dairy, processed foods and meat, but the author has provided explanations and the science behind why this diet works (this helps provide encouragement). He even says that if you don't do the entire diet, you can still use the basics to eat healthier every day. In my case, that is what I am trying to do. With two adults and a toddler
Perfect for : Personal UseIn a nutshell: This is a great book for anyone who needs to lose weight or lower their cholesterol. It is a pretty strict diet, eliminating dairy, processed foods and meat, but the author has provided explanations and the science behind why this diet works (this helps provide encouragement). He even says that if you don't do the entire diet, you can still use the basics to eat healthier every day. In my case, that is what I am trying to do. With two adults and a toddler in the house, I really don't see a strictly vegetarian diet working for our family, but I do understand the power behind adding more plant-based foods to our diet. Rip Esselstyn has also included some basic exercises and a whole section of recipes, with some great tips worked in. This diet has been endorsed by Lance Armstrong, as well as many medical doctors, and was tested by over 65 people when the author was first validating it.
Extended Review:
Content: The book contains three primary sections: The E2 Diet, Making It Work, and Recipes and Meal Plans. In the first section the author has done a great job of explaining why he created the Engine 2 Diet, the science behind it, its affect on critical medical conditions like stroke and diabetes, and some basic exercises (will pictures). The second section addresses the type of attitude you should have when you participate in the diet (support, the ability to forgive yourself, etc), vital signs (weight, cholesterol, etc), reading nutritional labels, and continuing the diet beyond the initial 28 days. The final section is made up of sections that address how to stock your kitchen, an example menu and over 100 pages of recipes that support the E2 Diet.
Format: The book is straight forward, explaining the diet, how to make it work, actual recipes, and includes plenty of examples and tips.
Readability: Easy to read and understand.
Overall: The science behind this diet shows why it works, and what you can expect if you follow it. Anyone who has a history of medical problems in their family, or who is experiencing a medical condition such as diabetes or high cholesterol should really look closely at this diet. If you don't feel you can follow the diet to the T, at least try to make lifestyle changes to embrace more plant-based foods by incorporating some of the wonderful recipes contained in the book.

The book's thoroughness and conciseness is impressive: its 145 pages of description include twelve food myths debunked, background on the science and prevention of degenerative diseases, an exercise program complete with photos, suggestions to maintain motivation for dietary change, how to read standard nutrition labels, and how to stock a plant-based kitchen. Anecdotes of people's experiences with the diet and friendly encouragement for the reader are sprinkled throughout. All this plus another 100 pages of delicious and fairly simple to prepare recipes.
Guys, pick this one up. Women, if there's a man in your life you'd like to help, tell him about it. Or, in difficult cases, leave it out where he can't help seeing it . . .

Picked this up because it was referenced in a New Yorker profile of the CEO of Whole Foods, who apparently lives by this book but doesn't stock his stores by it.The E2 diet plan turns out to be, like Skinny Bitch, secretly a vegan diet plan, though it rarely, if ever uses the term. Author Rip Esselstyn (is Rip seriously his real name?) prefers to describe his plan as "plant strong," and emphasizes the diet's compelling benefits for personal health and athletic performance rather than dwelling on the environmental or ethical reasons why one might adopt a vegan diet. This seems like a fine approach, as it might target the people who care noting about cow welfare but who might be interested in emulating triathletes and clear arteried firefighters kicking ass in their jobs.
The writing style is high energy, as one might expect. One of the salad recipes was so enthusiastic it made me giggle; the description was someting like "this gorgeous salad is so full of colors you'll feel as if you've been jettisoned into a rainbow!" I didn't make this recipe, but I did try some of the others, which tasted fine, were filling, and featured affordable, easy to find ingredients. Probably not for gourmands, vegan or otherwise, but good enough for most.

When Rip began cooking plant-based meals at the firehouse, his fellow firefighters began to lose weight and lower their cholesterol and blood sugar.This book provides a 28-day plan to change to a plant-based diet. It also contains recipes and success stories. The plan is fairly strict - it is a total plant-based diet: no fish, no dairy, no oils. It gave me a good, solid basis for beginning a plant-based diet, and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to investigate this way of cooking and eating. It is easy to understand, and is very clear about how to proceed.
There is a lot of information about this online, including some recipes, as Rip teamed up with Whole Foods in 2009 to promote healthy eating, and they will introduce the Engine 2 line of foods this year. There are recipes on the Whole Foods website, and other sites as well.

I think this book would be a great start for anyone interested in losing weight. Unlike a lot of diet books, the recipes included are very short, with ingredients not too difficult to find. I didn't get a chance to try out any of the recipes because I checked this out from the library in NC and will be headed back to FL soon; however, the simplicity of the recipes was appealing. They aren't too intimidating for new cooks or people cooking on a budget.I definitely want to try some of these recipes in the future and incorporate them into my diet, although I don't know if I could go completely without oil in my diet on a permanent basis. Maybe long enough to lose some weight, but I'd cheat every Sunday during the buffet at Loving Hut.
(Note: this book isn't strictly vegan--a few recipes have optional honey and some of the variations include adding chicken or shrimp for people who try the less committed diet plan--but it isn't advertised as a vegan diet, either. It's plant-strong. On the plus side, it does discuss the negative health aspects of eating meat, eggs, and dairy--as well as refined and processed foods.)

This book, E2D, is direct, easy-to-read,
I guess you might say this is a book that proves that veganism really is for "people just like you and me." Rip Esselstyn, is a firefighter and athlete who took vegan cooking into the firehouse and dramatically and forever improved the health of many firefighters at his station. Rip, whose father--Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., who famously has done research on the benefits to the heart of plant-based diets--has now gone full-time into health education.This book, E2D, is direct, easy-to-read, and chocked full of information. His review of the literature on the health benefits of a plant-based diet is streamlined, yet complete and convincing. His tips on grocery shopping and reading labels are as good or better than any I've read elsewhere. And his recipes are easy, doable, and include reasonable, easy to find ingredients. This is an excellent book for anyone who is leaning toward veganism or a mostly plant-based diet. This guy's enthusiasm is contagious.

I don't think I was the target demographic for this book, which likely swayed my review. I don't have high cholesterol; my cholesterol is in the low end of the normal range.

He also states that humans don't need that much protein, and we've been brainwashed to think we need protein.
He's anti-cheese (and dairy) but pro-multigrain bread, which I'm not supposed to eat due to gluten intolerance. Fruits, veggies and other complex carbs are important. But I also see protein as important as well.

* I am reserving the right to change this review in the event that I take on the 28 day challenge presented in the pages of this book*First and Foremost, Rip Esselstyn should be regarded as an expert in plant based eating. His Father, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. is a an expert in cardiovascular health through the implementation of a Whole Foods plant based diet, and as such has past his wisdom down to this family and his patients.
Okay with that out of the way let's get to the book/ cookbook/ "save your life guide". The first half of this book/ cookbook is all about why you should be eating a whole food plant based ("Plant-strong") diet. The engine 2 diet is based off his experience helping out some of his firemen buddies in Austin Texas, and he yielded some remarkable results that he presents a few times throughout the first half of this book. Rip does a great job at presenting the science behind what he is trying to tell you based on the research done by his father and other M.Ds and Ph.Ds that advocate for a whole food plant based diet like Colin Campbell Ph.D and John McDoughall M.D among others. He presents the information in a way that is easy to digest, even if you aren't a nutritionalist or doctor. Rip does a great service in the first half of the book when he breaks down what LDL, HDL and triglycerides are and how they affect your health and what healthy levels are and what you should be aiming for regardless of your diet. Although he does advocate that a "plant strong" diet is really the only way to achieve the optimum levels the information is stand alone. It is up to you to decide if you believe that, but he makes a strong argument based on the research done by himself through two pilot studies in Austin, the research done by his father at the Cleveland Clinic with 65 heart patients and "The China Study" published by Colin Campbell.
There is a lot of valuable information in the first half of the book, even if you decide that a strict "Plant Strong" diet just isn't for you, you'll at least learn that you should be eating more fruits and veggies. (Just like grandma used to tell you.) It is quite evident looking around American society that we are sick, with more and more people being diagnosed diabetic or who are living with cardiac disease. Rip Esselstyn is making the case that PLANTS can save (or at least ward off) your life from these diseases and in some cases rescue you from them.
Moving on from the first of the book where Rip gives you the science and reason to eat a Whole Foods plant based diet, he begins to give the practical application on how to do so. (I.e. how the 28 day plan works, what you should buy and what you should look out for in the grocery store). This information is also useful for the people that decided that they don't want to live a whole food plant based lifestyle but still want to eat healthy. As for the 28 day challenge, it is pretty simple.
1.) no meats or dairy
2.) no added oils
3.) No added sugar or salt *in some recipes he adds a little bit of salt
4.) no processed foods *if you must buy canned or processed foods, he teaches you how to read the label and gives you a whole chapter on how to evaluate the label*
As for the recipe portion of the book, I saw a lot of reviews of people that were not impressed with the simplicity of the some of the recipes. BUT THAT IS THE POINT!!!!! This is so that your everyday person can realize that it isn't hard or complicated to begin cooking and eating a whole food plant based diet. He will straight up teach you how to make a delicious and healthy bowl of cereal to eat in the morning that takes less than 3 minutes to put together, and it doesn't have all the sugar that they so called healthy cereals in the grocery store has. So just be warned most of the recipes are simple but delicious and healthy for you.
My only complaint for this book is that he understates that expense of eating a whole food plant based diet. It can be pretty expensive. If you don't believe me go to your local grocery store look at those prices and then go to Whole Foods and look at those prices. You see the difference. The reason I used Whole Foods is that he has a section in the book about which Whole Foods products are approved E2 diet items. This makes sense because he partnered with Whole Foods but it seems disingenuous. In the short time your grocery bills will seem lower each time you go, but you also have to buy food more often because produce does inevitably go bad faster than meats that can be frozen or stock piled. Just something to keep in mind. People are drawn to meat like chicken and pork because it is so cheap and you can really buy and bulk and freeze for a long period of time. That being said, this book also address in a short section what food can be frozen for later and how to do it, but their shelf life just isn't the same.
My overall impression of this book/ cookbook/ "save your life guide" is great. The engine 2 diet seems like it would be worth a try just to see the health benefits within yourself, and I think I will give it a try after getting all of my levels tested, so I can see the numbers. I really do think this book does a great service to anyone who reads it. Rip Esselstyn has done a wonderful job showing that a "plant strong" diet can save your life and it isn't difficult to maintain, even in our busy lives.
