"Engine 2 Diet" Author Rip Esselstyn on National TV

[sprice676]

Ok, it's not "no fats". It's no refined fats, which does mean no oils.

[2dilshan]

Heya! Maybe you have discussed DietOramy healthy diet (find it on google)? Ive got word lots of extraordinary things about that and my cousin got rid of a lot of extra weight from it.

[101011001]

The only way to lose weight on the standard American diet is calorie restriction. I'd rather eat as much whole plant food as i could possibly care for and still lose the weight :b Veganism FTW!

[jnirmalj]

Oh hai! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin lost tons of weight with it.

[baljeetd]

In my experience, reducing or eliminating meat & dairy is a gradual (not overnight) process, driven by (a) gathering unbiased facts information (b) allowing eating habits time to adapt. I emphasise the latter being separate, because many like me used to love bacon, steak, etc, but come to not miss it, because habits are a type of addiction. Vegans love their diet as much as anyone... BTW - the Gorilla diet is ~5% animal; mainly through incidental consumption of bugs etc on unwashed foliage.

[Jonathan0491]

Populations of people who eat centered around high glycemic index carbohydrates like rural asians, and people in peru are essentially free of insulin resistence.

[RuinOrPeace]

I wonder if people realize how silly it sounds to say something like 'I can't give up my bacon'? Do they really feel they are ruled by a food to such an extent that they couldn't stop eating it even if they tried? That seems really sad to me. There was a time when I wouldn't give up meat because I didn't want to enough... but to say you CAN'T is just really sad...

[Marraudor]

I don't give a fuck, this diet will fuck up your pancreas as it dit with me, no fat that regulates blood sugar is the most dangerous thing you can do, my blood sugar skyrocketed to the point where Im now insulin resistant.

[TruthSurvival]

I like the fact that this show feels that there is any credit in what the SHILL has to say about meat. She is working for the meat industry! Anyone who believes that what she says is true needs to wake up.

[Marraudor]

@TruthSurvival Her points are indeed stupid but alot of people forget that if you eat a meal with protein and fat it balances out your blood sugar. Ig you eat a meal with only carbs it skyrockets.

Its not a joke, you guys need to wake up, get rid of your cognitive dissonance

[LordAngus1992]

@Marraudor Of course if you knew what you were talking about you'd know that the only meal that has no fat or protein is a meal consisting only of refined sugar. Whole food carbs have enough fat and protein. As for your previous post, fat has no role in regulating blood sugar, it regulates itself. The time blood sugar spikes is when your fat intake is too high and/or you consume refined sugar.

[haywood16]

never trust network news

[71lkd]

I think we need to start getting healthier first by removing GM foods, poisons in our water, and chemicals that are sprayed on us through chem trails and then we can talk about meat.

[Jen2848]

@71lkd GM foods are grown to feed food animals. Poisons in our water are used to spray GM foods used to feed food animals. Chemicals that are sprayed are used on GM foods to feed food animals. I think meat is the issue.

[PullOutYourGuns]

im a vegan and im trying to get into the fire service. although being vegan also means not wearing leather i still understand the importance of my safety and as long as i do not eat anything that comes from an animal..its sad that some fire depts. wont hire just because of what i dont eat since i have a very strong work ethic but watever i guess.

[sprice676]

@PullOutYourGuns If you were starving, and all there was to eat was meat, and you didn't know when anything else would be available, would you eat it? Probably, because your life will (or at least, may) depend on it. Well, if you're in the fire department, and some of the gear your life may depend on comes from animals, then why wouldn't you be willing to use it? It would be ridiculous for them to risk your life, health and/or safety by allowing you to go in without proper protection.

[PullOutYourGuns]

@sprice676

yes sir i would, if i were in a survival situation yes. i have never liked the taste of meat and i love all living things. I'm a humble person and would never harm those who don't harm me. and like i said before in my older post, i would do anything to keep myself safe from any danger so i would wear the proper PPE that is necessary.

[sprice676]

@PullOutYourGuns Okay...I must have misunderstood. Why wouldn't they hire you just because you're vegan then?

[Roberodification]

the beef ld is so full of shit.

[realinohio]

I like the book, however, there is some misleading info. The book states that Jack Lalaine is a vegetarian. This is not true since Mr La Lain eats fish on a regular bases

[Lixuzstatic]

Vegetarian 17 years. No iron problems. No anything problems.

[ababsurdo1567]

"Real men eat plants and boys eat meat." That's hott!

[ThePreppyHippie]

I love that she says its more absorbable! ha ha! She is ridiculous! Of course when you are funded by the man, you will say what he wants you to say!

[stupidflounders]

Americans lead the world in meat consumption, and heart disease and obesity.

[openyourthirdeyes11]

whats more important, a long healthy life in which you generally feel better from day to day or the temporary good feeling you get from eating meat. its an easy decision to make but some people can't fight their addiciton.

[openyourthirdeyes11]

whats more important, your health or the temporary good feeling you get from eating meat. its an easy decision but some people can't fight their addiction

[Beastonic]

don't remove comment because you don't like them....

This sounds like my kind of diet

[stephenoff]

Come back when you have heart problems blood pressure problems and cholesterol issues and the only way is down when you ask the doctor help.

Then you may consider some hope of life as the only doctor recommending help due to heart disease is Some Dr called Esselstyn quote "retard". As you put it.

[stephenoff]

Try looking up what he did for some patience's with only low expectations of living 1 year and longer.

No, I would not deprive you of your meat, but when issues arrive remember "Esselstyn". And you will gladly think about living a little longer with out medications and good health.

As for Rip Esselstyn apart from making a dollar or two from a book it has good recipes they taste nice and I personally don't miss meat and animal produce. But I do prefer to eat more raw food if possible.

[Authentricity]

Eat meat. Eat it grass-fed, pasture-based & wild. Do not cook it. Raw meat is an entirely different material w/ drastically different effects in the body. Look brothers & sisters; cooked, factory-farmed flesh is poison, no doubt. Raw meat, raw eggs & raw milk from pasture-based wild animals is overloaded w/ omega3's, abundance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, co-enzymes, etc. It regenerates cellular tissue readily & efficiently. Unheated, unfrozen!

Veganism doesn't sustain 3generations of human.

[medicinaluk]

@Authentricity - Weston A Price foundation by any chance???

[TangerineTangerine]

@Authentricity On the contrary, animal farming isn't sustainable for the earth or human race. Far more people could be fed on a plant based diet. Wiping out rain forest to make place for grazing land and growing grains + an immense waste of water fed to animals who produce methane gas which is responsible for more environmental damage than all traffic combined is an idiotic, far from sustainable way to feed yourself. Cancer, diabetes and heart disease is what you get in return.

[Authentricity]

@TangerineTangerine

Traditional humans did not survive on plant-based diets. Anthropological research does not support this. Just being able to comprehend the "wiping out" of a rain forest reveals how dramatically skewed the human condition is. Agricultural diets manifested our current state. Quantity became the norm, while quality dwindled. Primitive, indigenous and aboriginal peoples lived in relative harmony. On most accounts, superb physical specimens and easy births were revealed.

[Authentricity]

@TangerineTangerine

My point about supporting multiple generations was that any attempt at maintaining & evolving human organisms beyond three generations upon a predominantly plant-based diet is grounds for degeneration. Crowded teeth, reduced stature, reduced brain size, increased gut size. Indigenous and traditional groups subsisting upon plant based or utilizing practices of increased cooking reveal clear signs of degeneration. Enlarged pancreas, reduced jaw structure, crowded teeth, etc.

[Authentricity]

@TangerineTangerine

Your points about wiping out rain forest are reflective of modern thought. This lacks vision for planetary symbiosis. Intelligent grazing cycles promote top soil re-mineralization and re-seeding. Wild grasses (so-called weeds) and root systems develop deeper channels, therein transporting minerals back unto the topsoil. The plains Indians knew how to implement such methods naturally. Modern settlers pillaged the land through their lack of insight.

[Authentricity]

@TangerineTangerine

No rain-forest need be diminished. No grains need be grown to support animals whose natural and native diet is certainly not grains. The animals that modern humans are accustomed to are not animals in the true sense. They are artificial hybrids manufactured with artificial fuel (grains). This in turn supports artificial and dis-eased humans. Methane gas is only a concern for modern factory farms. Naturally grazed ruminants do not contribute to such planetary dysbiosis.

[Authentricity]

@TangerineTangerine

Cancer, diabetes and heart disease were completely unknown to primitive peoples. What sort of diets were free of such modern symptoms? Many groups, including heavily meat and animal based cultures. Why is this? Because they did not eat grain-fed confined beasts. They did not cook much of their food (if any in many instances).

[Authentricity]

@TangerineTangerine

Diabetes or cancer in the non-modernized world? Travel to India or various regions of South America. See early cultures avoiding animal foods. Egyptians sported bone deterioration and a plethora of disease signs within their agricultural and vegetarian leanings.

So what about Eskimo before modern diets were adopted? What did the explorers and scientists find in those isolated groups? Surely they were afflicted with disease by eating such a high fat and meat centered diet.

[Authentricity]

@TangerineTangerine

The opposite was actually true. And if you're interested I'll supply extensive documentation that reveals just this. I won't take up any more space on this video. In fact, if anyone is interested they can send me a message and I will supply such information. Thanks.

-Authentricity

[almxx]

If the cavemen ate meat, how much of it did they eat compared to nuts, berries, greens, roots, etc. Hunting was life threatening, and exhausting. Their meat consumption must have been low. So try Pritikin if you must meat eat.......at 3 oz a day.

[realinohio]

What? the meat industry isn't going to try to sue him like they did to Opra?

[realinohio]

Her study was funded by the Beef industry! They are a mafia

[keanoster]

of course she s gonna say otherwise, she s being paid by the meat industry! duh! just look at the countless researches! going meatless is the way to go! i m starting today!

[DigitalPraise7]

You will not regret your decision to go meatless, keanoster! I have been vegan for over 3 months and I feel great!

[keanoster]

thank u for the encouragement! its harder than i thought but i m gonna persist being a vegan.

[kambelzful]

@keanoster well, some people get really sick when they don't eat meat. so not EVERYBODY can do it.

[Lixuzstatic]

@kambelzful That's probably detox. Or it could be what they're eating instead. Not all vegan food is good of course

[VeganPua]

@kambelzful Ask anyone who stopped coffee, smoking, drinking or drugs and they'll tell you they didn't felt better at first! The reason is once you stop taking in something that is toxic (which meat is) you start to detoxify and THAT make you feel worse, but once it passed you feel better if you don't then you're doing something wrong.

Also keep in mind that when you eat heavy food even if they woudn't be toxic they would stop the detox process because it take a lot of energy to digest them.

[kambelzful]

@VeganPua I went vegan for a month and i had the worst stomach pain, vomiting and flu like symptoms. I went to the doctor and I was told to go back to the regular way i was eating. I am 6'7" and 215 lbs, I don't eat super healthy, but I have really low cholesterol. I have never felt that sick in my life. I also have a friend that reported the same thing after he stopped eating meat and dairy. So when the firefighter in this video says "everybody" can do it, he's wrong.

[VeganPua]

@kambelzful I have a hard time believing that. I've already heard some people say thing similar to that just to excuse themself from not being vegan (honestly I don't care what anyone eat... ) but never that extreme.

Of course I can not contradict anyone unique experience but I don't see how not eating meat or dairy or eggs would cause those symptoms... I mean since when meat stop stomach pain, vomiting and flu symptoms?

Unless you're allergic to soy I can't see how what you said is plausible

[kambelzful]

@VeganPua Well, that's not an excuse, that REALLY did happen to me. So whether it sounds plausible or not, it happens to some people.

[VeganPua]

@kambelzful Well going from meat eater to vegan is quite an extreme change depending on your previous diet so I'm not surprised when I hear some people saying they had a bad experience. Usually it's not the lack of meat that cause problem but the excess of some food (processed grains like pasta usually). I'd be curious to hear what you vegan diet was for that one month.

[kambelzful]

@VeganPua Although i do admit, eating healthier does make you feel a lot better. When I eat fast food i feel like crap. But it's the same way for me going completely vegan.

[VeganPua]

@kambelzful Well fist of all going from meat eating to vegan is quite extreme! My main point is that a vegan diet doesn't mean much when you think about it. You could eat only cane sugar and vegetable oil and that would be considered vegan and it would make you sick real fast! Animal food don't contain any magical and unique nutrient in them but if you eat in a way that lack one of the nutrients they have or replace them with more pasta and nutrient poor food, you're heade toward a disaster!

[VeganPua]

@kambelzful Anyway I was just curious what you diet was when you've been vegan. If you want to share of course.

[etravus]

I adopted this diet and have not missed meat and have discoverd a world of new food.

I've also become more aware of what goes in my mouth and its effects.

Little Fact

Vegan Diet uses 10,000 gal water per year

Normal Diet uses 320,000 gallons of water per year

or

a pound of beef requires 8,500 gallons of water to

produce.

the choice is easy and good for you and the planet

[immafreemann]

You notice a regime of exercise in their firehouse so this must be included in a healthy life. The american diet falls short in veggie consumtion. Fruit is a great snack and compared to processed snacks has a great many benefits while children will accept it (once denied candy, chips, soda)

[immafreemann]

I've been veggie for 29 years and do fine, including my work is all physical-auto body,construction. I believe processed foods are bad- pasta ,processed wheat), breads -(not from srouted grains), etc. Any flour is processed grain. But each person is different in their requirements. I think fish and chicken is an excellent source of protein, I just cant kill them to live. Cocanut oil is the best oil and a little oil is good for you. By all means the american diet leans to sweet, no bitter

[Dall5000]

Oats have good Iron, same for Soy.

[yunleilei]

I LOVE these guys! I would move to Austin just to join their department. (I'm promptly forwarding this link to MY chief, who historically gives me grief over not eating meat.) And I thought it was absolutely darling that they said grace before the meal. I've been vegan for about 3 months now, and vegetarian 7 years and some change before that. I think it's utterly fabulous that the poster child for manliness and brawniness is posing for vegetarianism now, too!

[gailsthegirl]

I've come to this way of eating and my advice would be this, you might miss the hamburgers and bacon etc in the beginning but you will lose your appetite for it. I'm into a year of eating this way and I enjoy my food. My cravings for meat are pretty much gone. Give it a chance. And I'm not worried about the iron I get. I cook many of my meals in cast iron cookware.

[berrygrower]

I started trying to figure some of this out last night, so I have a headache! :) My 8 year old is the reason we have to switch. So, nothing he uses is dairy based? so that means it is casein free? If I am understanding it right? I will go through and see if I can find a lasagna type recipe...to start with. My kids love that.

[berrygrower]

Would this food be considered gluten/caesin free?

[onedress]

Casein free, yes. Not all vegan food is gluten free. Check to make sure the ingredients don't include wheat, rye, spelt, or oats. If you have any questions about gluten free vegan food feel free to send me a message on here since I'm allergic to gluten and a vegan.

[macbev]

If you are looking for starches, for starters you've got beans, brown rice, yams as healthy alternatives to wheat. There are even some gluten-free breads and pasta - but you have to look for them, although Trader Joe's might have some.

[Rexcetera]

I've been a vegan now for three years and I've never felt better. This is the first time I've seen the national media treat the subject intelligently. Thank you, Rip E. and CBS.

[spacekat777]

Love it! I've been vegan for 27 years, and there's nothing wrong with my nutrition intake. Ms Rodriguez should have stated who funds her research...and should be more honest about her research and include what animal and environmental sacrifices it takes to get a piece of meat to her plate.
