Reddit reviews The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter's 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan that Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds

28 day vegan challenge. The author and challenge were also mentioned in game changers. Engine 2

I actually read Rip Esselstyn's book on health in the department. He is a vegetarian advocate and retired Houston FF. But he talks about the health of fellow firefighters and the general public. They had a BP test at work for a competition and I believe they discovered one FF was a walking heart attack which got them to listen about health and nutrition, especially when you know how fireman like to cook at the station.

His book is called The E2 Diet.

I'd start with Esselstyn's book.

Then take a look at Engine 2 Diet. He actually has a new book out too: My Beef with Beef - though I haven't read this one yet.

Lastly, check out Colin Cambell's China Study.

Also anything by Neal Barnard & John MacDougall. All these and other related books are available at libraries!

he's probably reading info from Caldwell Esselstyn and the like. there's a lot of research & application of preventing & reversing heart disease, etc with plant-based diets.

his son Rip Esselstyn is also an author and activist. i've read his book and it's pretty interesting what he was able to do on a micro scale with the firefighter's he worked with. his TED talk is pretty neat.

the documentary Forks Over Knives is based on the premise.

No-oils vegan is a thing some people do.

Diagnosing people you don't know with mental illnesses over the internet is, at best, rude.

I remember seeing an incredibly strong vegetarian firefighter in the Forks Over Knives documentary. He had no problem finding good sources of protein for his diet. And it appears he has a book:

Maybe this book written by vegan firefighter rip essylstn in texas may help. It talks aboit manliness and plant based diet and recipes are super simple. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0446506699/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485688488&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Engine+2&dpPl=1&dpID=51hyKFE9SuL&ref=plSrch

When I finished watching this movie I said out loud, "I'm never eating meat again." Then I read The Engine 2 Diet and I've been vegan for 2 months now. I don't regret it in any way, and I've already dropped a decent amount of weight (without trying). I feel better, sleep better, and most importantly, think better. Hooray, anecdotal evidence.

These firefighters did it and didn't make excuses either. Hope you find your way!
