The Engine 2 Diet
The popular Firefighter diet book! Rip busts many common myths about food, and why a plant-based diet IS healthy and can help you lose weight. His crowd is the stereotypical "man", high cholesterol, burger chomping dudes. Through a series of diet tests, Rip lowered the cholesterol levels and improved the health of his students. Getting healthy for life is the idea - not just to get thin.
There is a lengthy section with photos of exercises you can do, plus info about heart rate and body mass index, glucose levels, etc. The section on label reading is GREAT - learn how to read a food label! And understand what exactly it should be telling you.
Then there are many recipes and meal plans. The food is low fat and quite varied, not just veggie burgers or hot dogs. Plus, the recipes all look very fast and basic grocery store friendly!
I love to imagine a bunch of burly dudes and dudettes in the firehouse, discussing whole grains, which leafy green to eat for dinner and dishing about curry. I mean, that is cool!
This is a book for anyone who wants to shed a few pounds. I give it a thumbs up.
