Not happy with using Winston Churchill as a hero given his track record against India and his hatred for Gandhi in particular and Indians in general. Gandhi was one of the first proponents of “ “ahimsa “. (Non violence against others including animals)The vegan way. Love being vegan. Please rethink.
I’m glad I found this video! I’ve been trying to do the WFPB way of eating for the last month. I’m finding it a bit hard getting all the greens in, especially for someone who doesn’t like salads. I have bought the Engine 2 7 day challenge and other cookbooks too. I’m the only one in the house doing this. This video gave me a boot in the pants to stay strong.:)
Churchill was a mass murdering traitor to Britons and the world.
This way of eating helped my Ulcerative colitis just have to be careful at first because to many beans and raw fruits and vegetables exacerbate the disease
I had plaque building up ��♂️�� are used to go to the dentist one or two years. But now I’m vegan, 5 years vegan ✅❤️������, and I don’t have plaque. Don’t go to the dentist because I don’t need to! And I don’t smell, clean and fresh ✅❤️����������. Try it for a month, you’ll see!!
I love all the content you put out! I have a question…when you talk about corn and tofu, why do you not mention to eat only non-gmo of these two foods??
Inspiring stories strong way of changing culture and it is very important to get this lnowledge so that you can make a choice based on knowledge thank you so much for sharing and showing the difference to choose a plant strong diet
What a great presentation! It really was… done well.. great message.. great advice. Thank you.
Great presentation. Great information. But you can’t ask for a lot of volunteer participation, say you are going to give prizes, then pick on the same woman who knows a lot about the subject.
Hey. I’m a female who weights 145.I started a oil free plant base diet 2 wks ago,but I’m loosing so much weight.what can I do to gain some weight.Helpppp
Sadly people have died by drinking a gallon of water at one time.
Oh boy… big strong firefighter guy makes kid look weaker. 40:10 Impressive.
“Heard it till they were blue in the face.” 11:20 Is that a new expression???
The big problem I have with this is that he’s advertising this as a “diet” And also… My family is not going to do this diet!!! They think it’s crazy!!! Let alone friends. Please let me know if they feel this ame let me know I’m not alone in this.
Who on earth were those rude, know-it-all interrupters in the audience? Jeez Louise
I’m 58, heart attack a month ago. Started this new diet 30 days ago, lost 25 pounds. Vision is better, more energy, prostate is better, artritis pain is better, back pain better, am nausea gone, insomnia 70% better, libido increased, more all around energy. Can’t wait to see new blood work. Started back at gym today, cleared by cardiologist. I cheat once a week have 1 meal what ever I want, have some nuts, almost no salt or cheese. I am not perfect. But will continue to strive for perfection. Thank you Dr. Esselstyn and Rip I think you saved my life and gave me hope.
Also I forgot… I take organic tummeric, Real pine tree pollen, real ginger root tea, and vitamin b-12 supplement.
I meet him in Glendale. Low Angeles. Got his book. He signed for me. Saved my life.
Hi all. Congrats to everyone who is now making changes to their diet lifestyle. I fell upon “Forks over Knives” documentary right at the moment I got a medical report that indicated everything was elevated. My fear of heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes was so great, I went plant based right there and then. It’s been about 7 weeks and I feel much better. Have lost about 13 pounds. Still learning the ropes, but have cut out all the offending food items. They say in the books that you need support on this journey. My family and friends support me, but I’m the only one doing this right now. Videos like this and comments from the plant based community are golden. Thank you to all who contribute their experience and their knowledge. You really are helping those of us playing catch-up. Thank you. Cheers
Why listen to a fireman when it comes to a diet? Do you think that the fireman would ask a fake doctor to treat his health?
Pretty cool rally together. I tried to eat beans diet. My tummy did not like. Grains are not good for all. Wheat.
Strawberries do not taste like the did when I was a child I couldn’t eat them to hard I put them out for birds they didn’t eat them and they were still hard and hadn’t gone off?!?
I have been eating Plant based,no sugar no oil for 1 year now and my cholesterol is still hi 250 and the good cholesterol is not good…..yes it does run in my family but I just cant seem to get it to move..
Rip can promote 80 or 90% compliance whereas his father, dr. Esselstyn had to promote 100% because he was dealing with dangerously ill people. His father had to promote healing which requires 100% compliance. Rip is promoting prevention! I love this. My daughter and I have had some serious conversations about her seven-month-old being raised plant-based no oil. My granddaughter does not eat baby food, she eats only plant-based that her mother has cooked with no oil or salt. She has the clearest eyes oh, I think that is one thing that people who eat super clean have in common is very clear and bright eyes. When I started, I was very ill and after a couple of months I saw my doctor and she commented from all the way across the room about how bright my eyes were.
I am done…If you cannot bother to check out the physicians I listed….I at least had the courtesy to check our Dr. Stephanie..quack that she is…but obviously you are stuck in an uninformed opinion to justify consuming large amounts of animal products. Good Luck sir. I will reply to your comments no longer…you don’t bother to fact check. You just troll on and on and on.
Rip said it gets tiresome responding to diabetics frothing at the mouth because their blood sugar is too low. Low blood sugars are typically linked to type 1 diabetics not type II diabetics. Low blood sugars can happen any time any where and shouldn’t be portrayed as people frothing at the mouth. I eat plant strong and I am a type 1 diabetic. Eating plant strong actually presents a challenge to type 1’s in the beginning because the need for insulin reduces and low blood sugars result. People with type 1 do go low every day.
This is such great information! The only thing that I am so confused about is the conflicting debate about whether wheat is good or bad for you. Can you please explain Rip? Thanks
Is it wrong that I don’t want to poop 3 times a day? Once a day is fine.
I think in British English there is no differentiation between vegetables and what the Americans call “legumes”.
All this becomes confusing in the age of Keto and the “carbs kill” culture, esp related to cancer
this is soooo true… i bring a huge salad to work…. everyday for lunch and i get comments….. EVERY DAY….. its unbelievable…. if i eat from the SAD diet… no comments ever….. but in canada we got a new guide…. a few days ago…… and its getting REAL better….. not perfect… but…. and i am sure… all the health films like FOK and What the health and FAt sick and nearly dead….. etc. have to do with the change in ideas….. keep on the great work!!! here is the new food guide in Canada…. https://food-guide.canada.ca/en/
I just went plant based three weeks ago and have lost a lot of fat and feel better than I ever have. I’m Scottish and live in Scotland. I feel like my highlander ancestors of old thriving on their starch based diets of the past. Thanks Rip!
this is all great.BUT when you can’t eat beans, legumes, most fruit, leafy greens, tomatoes, dairy and whole grains. All because you are stage 5 IgA nephropathy. I wish some one could come up with a diet for that that would get engine2 results. With dialysis 3x a week.
Thank you for another wonderful, informative video. This stuff never gets old to me, and I’ve been WFPB for over 4 years. My dad is still alive thanks to finding this information 4 years ago, and my poor health at the young age of 40 turned completely around. And as an ER nurse, I can vouch that most of the patients I’ve seen in my 21 year career suffer from chronic American diseases. This information is not only life-saving, it can help people actually LIVE and have a quality of life, not slowly spiral downward with chronic disease.
For Churchill, that quote doesn’t reflex the body he is living in. 4:59 “Healthy citizens is the greatest asset a country can have”
This diet is fucking dumb. Good luck absorbing your fat souable vitamins (A D E, and K) Also, cholestrol is not only good for you, but nessearly for human health, it’s required for testosterone, and production of D3. Most western dr’s certainly do not understand the human body, but they definately don’t undestand cholesterol, sulfer, and sunlight, or vitamins.
so I know a lot about diet. just by using Woo&Pep diet website guide:)
And if you have an autoimmune condition, you might want to stick to only fruit and vegetables and skip anything that’s a seed or nightshade plant! Research and make that an autoimmune (raw) ripe fresh organic vegan alkaline diet for healing! And even fast if all that doesn’t heal you! All the best to all!
I saw ‘Rip Esselstyn’ in the title and for a fleeting moment, I thought Dr Esselstyn had died! �� It was a moment of foolishness. Dr Esselstyn is immortal.
I’m sending this every way i can to family, friends and public!
Best RIP E. Video. I gave up milk, eggs and dairy about six months ago thanks to people like yourselves! I don’t think I could have done this without YouTube videos��������
small amounts of oil will help to retain OTHER nutrients. right?
Well, deficiencies take time to kill, and they kill in the form of disease. Alzheimers is one that comes to mind for D3 Deficiency. You can do fine on a vitimin deficient diet for years living off of stored vitimins in the liver, but eventually disease occurs. No one said anything about protien, iron, zinc, or calcium. FACT: if you eat a diet devoid of fat, you cannot absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
OK, I’ve read enough to know she is just an apologist for the current system. Nothing more. Read the doctors below info..and you will get some TRUE insight. It’s sad really..people just don’t recognize that heart disease and cancer are virtually NON EXISTENT in the Pacific Rim nations….but for those populations that adopt the Western diet…(SAD), withing 10 years you start seeing diabetes, heart disease and cancer et al. Let’s skip the docs for a sec..what do 2 BILLION people’s diets say?
“Heard it till they were blue in the face.” 11:20 Is that a new expression???
Dude, seriously? You can DIE from drinking too much water too fast! ����
Another person who buys into the organic shit. You understand the science of plant based diets but you’re scared of GMOs? Why the science denialism on GMOs? People who buy organic must hate the poor. That’s all I can figure out. Why don’t you want the poor to have food? GMOs are safe.
I’m doing a 2 meal a day diet first meal is a large organic salad no meat, last meal protein shake. My eating window is 230pm to 630pm.
None of the Engine 2 (or other “Essie” recipe) allows for the butter or the margarine you melted in your pan before adding your yams. Engine 2 is not about vegan, but reversing heart disease, HBP diabetes and other diseases.
All this looked so good to me. I am a fan of the E2 plans-they inspired me to give up fish, dairy and eggs after I’d become pescatarian a couple years ago. Note that in the E2 meal plan, cauliflower is considered a green, so even though there was no green colored food with the dinner, greens were still present.:)
Recently made the switch to vegan. What vegan “diet” have you felt the best doing?
I was hoping for an update:) I love the meals you chose. Does it give you the level of difficulty or cooking time so you know whether or not it will be a fairly simple recipe? Does your husband eat the same food as you?
I loved the look of that sweet potato dinner. Looks like a plan that might be worth checking out. Hope you enjoy your time on it.
I eat cheese everyday. I’m 58. I can do 10 pull ups and ride my bicycle 100 miles.
Wow this guy looks so unhealthy, scrawny and older than he probably is.
Just substitute “cigarettes” for meat/dairy and think about it some more.
Well, look at this. Another snake-oil salesman selling bullshit to gullible people.
What a fraud, what a phony this guy is.
Saturated fat and dietary cholesterol clog arteries? Excuse me?
Dr. Ronald Krauss: “There is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD [coronary heart disease] or CVD [cardiovascular disease].”
I could go on and on, but it looks like this channel is no longer producing vegan extremist propaganda, which is good. Listen to extremist propaganda like this at your own peril,folks.
I have done this diet before after research but it’s the consistency I struggle with. I got to admit. I felt great but my family struggled against it and I did not have much support. Either way, I have not choice but to get back into it for I am starting to feel a downward spiral of fatigue and greater stress.
I love the E2 lasagne and enchiladas. I freeze the left overs in single portion sizes and microwave when needed. I heard his veggie burgers r great. Just trying to eat vegan and low fat will add years to your life I’m sure.
In the text on your website where this video is linked, it says:
>> the animal protein in milk increases the acidity in the bloodstream. To offset the increased acid load and even out your body’s pH levels, your body will leach calcium – a strong base – from your bones – doing the opposite of what you intended by consuming dairy!
So if that is true, since a baby is smaller and only drinks milk, the acidity from drinking milk of a baby would be much more concentrated than an adult’s, right? if so, then how can babies ever grow bone at all with all that milk and all that acidity? Yet we all know that babies do grow bone.
So, there is something wrong with your theories it seems to me?
lol…ok….but can you really debate Caldwell Esselstyn MD’s data? Or the data from the China Study? Or Dr. MacDougall, Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Neal Barnard and their research. It’s not a DIET…it’s a way of life…and of course..no one is perfect. Am I saying, I will never have a meat burger ever again? Of course not. But the vast vast majority of my calories will be from Veges, Fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Good Luck. You are going to need it.
A lot of people don’t believe the china study because it shows correlations between variables – not cause-effect relationships. It’s a study and not an experiment. Read the rawfoodsos article when you search google for “China Study fallacy”.
Also, what about the large number of bodybuilders/athletes that consume a large amount of protein but the count of cancer among them is around the same as in any other group of people…
Thank you so much!! Starting in the new Year Jan 1st 2019 I am going Vegan!! I have been Vegetarian for this past year 2018. I know it’s time to go Vegan!! Thank you so much for helping make the leap, I know I can do this:)
Excellent since I started taking engine 2 diet I am feeling energized
I like all that he says but I want too see research articles against animal proteins, especially dairy in relation to cancer.
I have had 4 of my family members following this diet and every one of them has gotten wonderful results I am just begging this diet and I am very hopeful.
Carbs are your body and brain’s source of energy. When I say carbs I mean the good kinds (complex carbohydrates) and not bad ones such as your breads, pastas, and sugar. I’m pretty certain that you haven’t done your homework when it comes to the nutrition side of things because yes, though some nutrients will not absorb unless specific other ones are present, that is not the case for all or even most nutrients. Please, if you are going to make such a wild testimony, at least KNOW the facts.
It would be a shame for you not to get ripped when these normal people do it easily using Lean Body Maximizer (Google it).
How the heck can you stay healthy by eating tons of carbs every day? Also certain vitamins and most of the protein can’t be taken in unless you do supplements and plant protein with loads of carbs on top of it. This is dangerous, he needs to get himself checked out. I wonder what his blood sugar and cholesterol levels are.
Your family is very cool. Miami Zombies give me every reason to be Plant Strong. 228 to 214 in 27 days. My crock pot is filled with sweet peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, corn, black beans, and Spanish Rice. I have been able to share Dr. Esselstyn’s videos with my friends with heart concerns. Cool to see you pray with the firefighters. I will be working on going totally veg in my life. Right now, plant strong is where I belong. Thank you!
@Lauxesa All I’m saying is if you’re going to persuade people you need facts to back your facts up. I disagree with Monsanto and the way it handles GMO’s for the same reason.
@Mybitofinsanityvideo Um…For any argument especially on something as waffling as what the perfect human diet should be..If you want people on your side you need to source your facts. I don’t give a flying fuck if Ronald Reagan was his father.
@smilesgirl17 He knows his facts. Research who his father is.
OMG I’m hooked…what am I going to do with my green tea Ice Cream sob!
@Homocystine I understand Dairy is not good for you but I think Egg Whites in moderation is not that bad.
@realinohio
No,
May I recommend a video on youtube “Perils of Dairy” by Dr. John McDugall
I read that a vegetarian diet is better then a vegan diet Is this true?
Thank you for this very amazing, fun, deeply inspiring talk about changing to vegan life style
Your methods for your study are shit and it didn’t even look like you got peer reviewed, only the reference to other CAD articles that were reviewed right after your blatant ad. Stop wasting peoples time and taking their money on this rubbish of science.
I stopped drinking milk, eating all dairy (except organic, and then sparingly), stopped eating all meat, and lost 50 pounds. To stop eating 95% of all those chemicalized processed foods, no sodas or grocery store juices, go to an organic plant based diet, will make you lose weight, feel better, look better and just feel good overall. Stop eating GMO’s, and chemicalized foods.
there’s a shit load of studies out there. search “Mozambican grass seed consumption during the Middle Stone Age”.
Dr Mcdougall wrote a great article on the matter entitled “The Paleo Diet Is Uncivilized (And Unhealthy and Untrue)”
Buddy please don’t insult me, I am a nutritionist. And the correct ratio is more like 1:4 in favor of omega 6s. Like I said before, grass fed beef doesn’t mean grass fed. The legal definition is that only the bulking phase (of a couple of weeks) needs to be on a grass feed lot. The rest of the time they are eating soy or GMO corn or whatever.
Engine 2 works long term and has been proven. I’m defending it, not because I follow it myself, but because it works.
Paleo works at giving people cancer
You just made my point. I am done. Did I just not reference the China Study? You are clueless…you refuse to look at documented scientific data. You simply want to pontificate a point of view that is out of date. Why would I go back and forth with a person who will not examine data in a forthright and conscientious manner? or at least give it some due consideration. I am done..this is my last reply,….Please STOP sending me messages. Thank You.
Fyi, him being a top performing tri-athelete has no gravity on what food is optimum (< key word) for human health. There is a vegan in MMA (UFC), does that prove that it's the way a person should eat for optimum health? Hell no! To prove that it takes studies that last for decades.
I’m sorry, I can’t tell you because I’m dead I died because I was a long term vegan and didn’t absorb D3…..
BTW, aside from being dead from D3 malabsorption, I’m an ultra distance endurance athlete… I guess I also cannot get protein, iron, zinc, calcium or a whole host of other things… all of which probably contributed to my death.
When I am reborn, I’ll make sure to go paleo so I can absorb D3, then maybe I’ll be able to beat my current marathon PB.
LOL
Archeological data from what region? LOL, it varies for cultures all over the world. there is no one diet for everyone… we are animals that evolved separately for thousands of years.
Look up “omega-6 to omega-3 ratio”… there is one thing you must know first. second, look up the difference between grass fed beef and conventional in terms of omega 3’s… there is your answer. The grass fed beef contains very high omega 3’s and very low omega 6’s (for optimum health it is recomended to have a 1:1 or 1:3 ratio…SAD gives you 1:30). The reason engine 2 works in the short term is largely because you eliminate high omega 6 oils, which brings down inflamation throughout
I’ve been doing variations of this and it’s so filling. I love it
see other comment.
you say “historically” like a fact. latest data suggests we ate low fat, starch focused diet back in the day.
and BTW a plant based paleo diet is like a paleolithic lawnmower fucking bullshit. Nuts and avocados are only available limited times of the year and avocados do not grow everywhere. plant based paleo is complete BS!
It’s also BS that we ate meat back in the day!
Please show me one single study on how “wild” or “grass fed” meat is better for your health than “industrialized” meat. This is insane. Grass fed beef for example is not actually grass fed for the majority of the animal’s like by law it only needs to be fed grass for a couple of weeks before being slaughtered.
beef = beef = beef.
prove me wrong.
Latest archeological data says we ate mostly starch, fruit and greens and very limited meat/
the key here to your health success has been “a plant based diet”, it haas nothing to do with the absence of organic free range meats.
I do not have any interest in marathon running because I am trying to gain muscle mass and strength, and marathon running leads to catabolism (in short, muscle loss). I sprint instead… check out “sprint-8” if you want to raise your human growth hormone by 520%+, lose stored fat and build muscle. A high carbohydrate vegan diet is a recipe for health disaster, my holistic doctor would have much to say about that, he see’s people who have been vegans for years and the health problems that occur
every single study every done to demonize meat has been done via a statistical study, and has either cherry picked data (lipid hypothesis study for example), or not differentiated between organic grass fed beef, and industrial Gmo corn fed beef. The difference is huge, and it’s a mojor reason for America’s health crisis. Avoiding meat will most certainly put you in better health then all the people eating SAD, but it’s not optimum… simply because you did not evolve to eat that way.
Ok A. the type of meat you eat, is VERY VERY crucial. If your grandfather ate industrialized meat, that is not paleo! the paleolithic/ancestral/primal/caveman diets all require wild caught, or at least free range, grass fed, organic meats. The omega 3 to omega 6 ratio in food is imperative to keep inflammation and disease at bay. The amount and type of fats is very important. Flax is great, and very high in omega 3 and low in omega 6. 10% of calories form fat is very low historically.
Are you low carb? What’s you marathon PB, or century ride PB?
I used to eat most of my calories from offal and cheaper cuts of meat (but mostly organic) when I was at university, was poor and wanted to bulk up. Result: I was constantly ill and started to perform noticeably worse in bed… in fact a disaster.
Then I discovered high carb vegan, even eating straight sugar and dates, result: endurance athlete, 100% outstanding radient health, not been sick in about 5 years (since I went vegan).
Since when has a vegan diet been devoid of fat? I eat around 10% of my calories from fat. As I type this I’m eating oats with seeds and ground flax, that’s at least 20% high quality fats, although I keep fat low, no whole food plant diet is devoid of fat.
My granddad is currently dying of Alzheimers and he’s eaten meat all his life. He’s a meat and 2 veg man… sort of paleo I guess.
No one here is arguing in support of the SAD (standard american diet). Yes, engine 2 will improve some health benchmarks in the short-term. No, it is not healthy for a long term diet, due to the guy designing it having no fucking clue that the vitamins E, D, K, and D require fat to absorb and be used by our bodies. Also clueless about saturated fat which is REQUIRED by the lungs, brain, and liver among others. I’m really sick of the the bullshit vegan propaganda.
Just watch and read about the Gerson Therapy. Then read the China Study. There are other books out there so if you really want to see the research read different books and search online by doctors. Check out nutritionfacts(dot)org lots of information and scientific research there.
Ketosis is not a part of the paleo, primal, or ancestral diet. Frank Mir used to be vegan, he has since switched to a paleo diet, and claims he feels much stronger. Rhonda Rousey (holds the title) eats a paleolithic diet. Forest Griffen, Kyle Kingsbury, and Abe Wagner also eat a paleo diet. IMHO, the most important things in a diet are: Eating a plant based diet, low carbohydrates, the diet should include fats because they are required by the human body for numerous functions.
Awsome!!! And i love the Steve Mc Queen look alike, hee hee.
yes I have heard of it but am not really into it, I forget his name but one of the top guys in that sport is a long time vegan.
Could you tell me any of the 100% paleo athletes in that scene who are winning high level competitions and are in ketosis?
Just tell me how you will absorb D3? And I’ll drop it.. Good luck
Yeah, I bet Dr. Mercola is a qauck too right? And life extension foundation, all their scientists and doctors are just quacks… It is a fact that your body requires cholesterol and sulfer to make vitamin d3 from sunlight via exposed skin… it is a fact that if you want to take d3 from a vitamin that it will not absorb without fat… You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
This is the point when I stop debating you, or even talking to you… no point in having a discussion with a dishonest person that is more concerned with being right, than being healthy. I googled her name just to double check, and of coarse, there is no suggestion saying quack anywhere, let alone the 2nd suggestion. Have a good one… do with the info what you will…
Trader Joe’s is a union buster, so is Whole Foods. Can’t shop there with a good conscience.
I just want to say one more thing… you have no addressed the issue of how you will absorb fat soluble vitamins… do you not think that the body requires fat to absorb them? Vitamin D deficiency kills people… you cannot absorb it from the sun without cholesterol, and you cannot absorb a D3 vitamin without fat. Don’t get mad… just look this stuff up, it could save your life, or at the least significantly prolong it. I don’t care about being wrong, I hope I am, but i know my stuff.
FYI be careful of which wine you drink (noticed wine in background). Most wine produced have ingredients derived from animal byproducts for the fining process.
LOL, I suppose you don’t watch or have never heard of MMA (mixed martial arts)??? That is hands down one of the most grueling and tough sports there is in the world, and a large number of UFC fighters eat a paleo/primal diet… I am fairly certain that NONE of them are on Engine 2.
also what is funny..when I did a search on your Dr. Stephanie…the 2nd suggestion from Google was QUACK. You should really check who you get your data from.
Me too! My energy levels are way up, and I need less sleep! Also, since cutting out dairy, the mosquitoes leave me alone! Who knew?
At the end of the day people can eat what they want… the facts are that a low fat diet is outdated, and can kill you. Do what you want, but do your research about fat soluble vitamins and cholesterol… I recommend you check out Stephanie Seneff’s home page, she is a doctor from MIT, and has a lot of cutting edge info on human health and diet. You say think before I speak… you should do your research and understand how vitamins are absorbed. Sorry man, but this diet is terrible.
The studies are in. Your hyperbole and innuendo are unneeded and unwelcome. If people are happy with the result and enjoying the journey…let me ask you. What is wrong with that? All of these folks have been checked by their doctors….all the folks save a few from Dr. Esselstyn’s original study are still with us. I simply would think before I speak if I were you.
Why do you have to give up all meat and dairy to be healthy? Just limit them greatly as Pritikin did. Meat can and should be used a a meal condiment, not a central player in your meals. All these guys like McDougall and Esselstyn are Pritikin type diets taken to extremes. Problem is very few people will eat a diet like this on a long-term basis so what good is it if you can not get the masses to eat it.
Don’t get angry, at the end of the day it really isn’t about being right for me or you.. it’s about learning how to care for ourselves and live a long healthy life.
@kushasaures you are saying you know more than most western doctors? Cholestorol isn’t even an essential nutrient.
Dropping cholesterol proves nothing. Check the blood work for vitamins. Short term studies will not show the damage that this diet will do due to vitamin deficiancey. People have been eating fat for thousands of years, and that means that we require it for human health. The lining of your lungs is made up of saturated fat!! Without it, YOU ARE FUCKED! look up Dr. Stephanie Seneff if you would like to understand your body a bit better. Consider an ancestral diet.
Thanks for sharing. A nice reminder to eat too garbage for the holiday season. WFPB is the way to go
I brought this the other day and are waiting delivery the diet/lifestyle looks great I alrdy have been off meat for a week and feel all kinds of energy flowing in me now I got to cut out eggs/milk I’am looking forward to reading ur book.
Yeah I went from 811 to McDougall. I have no reason to change my diet again for the rest of my life.
@IronCladBen I think 811 VS E2 would be interesting. I don’t think paleo would be interesting because E2 and 811 diets both fuel elite athletes, whereas there are no elite athletes who can sustain their sport eating Paleo, so there’s probably no point comparing such a high quality diet to an uncommon, environmentally unfriendly, unethical, disease prone gimmick diet.
Hey Rip, I like the idea of stacking 28 days on E2 up against 28 days on other diets. The results of E2 vs. Paleo or 80/10/10 would be interesting to see.
I think labeling the Engine 2 a “DIET” does this program an extreme dis-service…but it’s still great stuff
His name is Rip Esselstyn and they made a bet to see who had the lowest cholesterol:)
I’m glad he is admitting how certain sugars can indeed be harmful!
pray to God before eating and will be perfect.
Tank you so much for doing this vídeo.
I will do.
You’re an ass. Of course you get fat…he is just stating that it is kept to the reasonable level. Let me see, he’s been eating this way for over 20 years..and was a top performing tri athlete. Hmmmm, I’m done though….keep on eating your meat and stfu.
yum! i can’t eat those cereals because they’re not gluten free, but the rest looks great
Fruit has too much sugar for me though. I can’t have it every day. But this is why I take supplements:) I normally don’t do normal breakfast. I tend to have lentils or beans of some kind.
Looks great! That is a manly-sized portion. I might half it and eat the other half later. You look like you’re losing weight…great video.
That looked really yummy! nice combo of flavors and crunches. I also like creating your own blends. gonna try it! spotted something…hee hee.
Yay Bawdens. Bot Engine 2
Could rice milk be used instead of nut milk or is it bad in some way?
I’m quite disappointed because I bought the book there is a website where I am supposed to go to make this 28 day plan but it doesn’t exist so I bought the book unnecessarily because I won’t be able to start I don’t have time to make my implants and do calculations because I want to start already I’m very disappointed
you could have dumped all the ingredients in your instant pot for the masala. also cook the rice in the instant pot too. i use it for most cooking. no watching and stirring.
“Your journey to Hell starts now”. sometimes I mishear things!:p
The egg white has so much protein that in Dutch they call protein “eiwit” which literally translated also means “egg white”! They named protein after egg white.
1. Slow cook beans in a pressure cooker, to not get any gas.
2. Fruit doesn’t up blood sugar.
It would be a shame if you did not build muscle when other normal people do it so easily with Supreme Fat loss (Look it up on google).
Um. This works. Its a food reset. No argument becasue eatnicer sounds like your bashing. The End
wow I have the same salt and pepper shakers way cool and I started this on Jan 1st it is now the 14th and I have already droped 18 lb’s I am so excited Thank you Rip. and family
If you’re really interested, and not just being a troll (the latter of which I seriously believe is the case), you may wish to check out Rip Esselstyn’s own father; Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Who is still alive, and looking quite healthy at the ripe old age of 78, having been on a plant based diet for well over 30 years…
I saw Rip’s feat of strength in Forks Over Knives. He’s amazingly fit.
Let’s see how the vegans are doing later in life….good luck.
Hi, I have followed this exact diet of rip & dr esselstyn as wel as neal barnard. However I experienced that although after 2 hours after a meal my blood glucose is fine but after one hour it spikes up to values that had never been so high. My worry is that carbs with no fat and little protein will cause very high spikes after a meal and although my fasting blood sugar is fine, my spikes are never been so worse. Please help me about this and have u done any studies about blood sugar spikes?
