The Engine 2 Diet

There are plenty of diets out there that will help you lose weight, but how much more will these diets do? Losing weight is great, but if you can get more from an eating plan, that is something to really smile about. The Engine 2 diet, developed by fireman Rip Esselstyn, is an plant-based eating plan that will help you lose weight, but will also help you lower your cholesterol, become more physically fit, and even fend off some medical conditions – all within 30 days. You obviously are not going to lose a hundred pounds in one month, but you may get a great head start that keeps you going in the right direction.

Many dieting plans want you to and encourage you to eat more plant-based foods. There is a very good reason for this. These foods are the most natural, and they are what your body needs to work to full potential. There are natural disease fighting components to natural foods and these are what you need. However, they can be boring if you eat the same things over and over again, thus your dieting endeavor fails and you end up eating less of the foods you really need.

One great benefit of the Engine 2 diet, or E2 diet, is that you get a huge selection of recipes that include the foods you need to eat, prepared in the healthiest way imaginable. That allows you to enjoy a great variety of foods that are good for you, with enough choices so that you find something you like each day without getting bored with your new eating plan. By the time you start repeating recipes, you have found the ones you like the most, and you have seen results from your new plan – allowing you to keep going with positive feelings towards the diet.

Many suggest that the Engine 2 diet is a vegan diet, which is essentially true. Because of this, you are going to lose weight if you have been eating any other types of foods that are higher in calories, fat, and additives. You are also going to see your cholesterol count fall, sometimes dramatically, and you are going to feel better than you have in a long time. Your body was built to digest these foods easily, leaving you more energy to live your life. There are relatively few toxins (especially if you choose organic produce) of which you body has to filter out. Give it a month and then decide if you love the benefits of the E2 diet or not. If a group of firefighters can stick with it, so can you!

The book, The Engine 2 Diet, which describes how to follow this diet, retails between $15-20US.
