Engine 2 Diet Plan

What is the Engine 2 Diet?

This is a balanced, no-calorie counting diet which benefits health and the environment.

It is similar to the Macrobiotic, Anti-Inflammatory, Flexitarian, Ornish, Vegetarian, and Vegan Diets.

Theory of the Engine 2 Diet

To prevent disease by losing excess weight.

The low fat daily diet contains lots of plant-based foods which have the potential to prevent as well as reverse diseases which are prevalent in the American daily diet.

This diet was created by Rip Esselstyn. His father is Doctor Caldwell Esselstyn and if you are not familiar with his work, you may find great interest in the film 'Forks Over Knives'. His work over the last several decades is the cornerstone of heart-healing results. He has proven time and time again that the ill-effects of heart disease - including damage created by heart disease, can be reversed through the daily diet. I highly recommend this film.

In the film, Dr. Esselstyn explains that heart stints, bypass surgery and other surgical and non-surgical options [prescription medications] are simply temporary bandaids. All too often, people assume that these procedures 'fix' the heart - and that just isn't the case. If you suffer from heart disease, watch the film - see the results - and consider one of the Esselstyn diet plans. Be sure to get your doctor's input before charging forward.

Because it's low in sodium - your heart gets an instant benefit. Sodium can play havoc on blood pressure, so expect to see more desirable readings - healthier readings. You should also see healthier cholesterol readings.
