Rip Esselstyn: The Engine 2 Diet recipes

Firefighter Rip Esselstyn shows some of the non-froo froo low fat vegan recipes from his new book.

Austin Texas firefighter, Rip Esselstyn, made a bet with a fellow firefighter, JT: if JT would just eat the way Rip ate for 28 days, then JT's cholesterol would come down from 364 to 150.

JT's father and grandfather had both died in their 50s from heart attacks, so bringing JT's cholesterol down was crucial for him .

Rip won the bet -- and saved JT's life.

Look at the food the all the guys in the fire house in Austin are eating now -- then get a copy of Rip's book and start eating this way yourself:

Outstanding recipe ideas, as are the ones on the DrMcDougall website and in Dr. McDougall's books.

You eat this way for a while and then try going back to ANY processed food and it tastes like eating old tires. I had a couple of Chips Ahoy cookies, one each of two varieties, the other day and I swear they tasted like lab chemicals and sugar. Disgusting.

@jerrygerard100 Almond, coconut, rice. They are available at the local grocery. My fans are coconut and almond although I just bought rice and I will try that soon.

Great to see more sharing of a whole foods and plant-based diet with the side effects of compassion.

@Roberodification  Organic Rice Milk is fantastic.

To take this a big step better try incorporating raw fruits and veggies in your diet. Green Smoothies, Fresh Juices and salads are healthier than any of the cooked food in his book. Don't get me wrong, his cooked food is better than meat, dairy and processed foods. But cooked fruits, veggies and beans don't compare to raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Heat destroys nutrients. I would say go at least 70% raw and 30% cooked.

@jerrygerard100 the best milk substitute I have found is almond milk. there are many other nut milks too and I have heard that hazelnut milk is tremendously good! don't get soy milk, its kind of chalky tasting......at least to me:P
