Lance Armstrong, who has known Rip for more than 20 years, shares that Rip “ has been a great motivator for so many people. This terrific book will inspire all who read it to change their lives and optimize their health."

When the Dallas Observer asked Esselstyn if he had advice for anyone who falls off the vegan wagon, he replied, “Don't beat yourself up. Don't be guilty. My big thing is, it's not about being plant perfect; it's about being plant strong. Be plant strong, and know that by being plant strong, you are totally improving your health. One meal and one day at a time … Medically approved, easy-to-follow, and amazingly effective, this diet is designed for anyone who wants to make heroic strides in his or her health, weight, and well-being, all without heroic effort.”


Rip Esselstyn

The book includes 125 mouthwatering recipes from pancakes to pizza, Tex-Mex favorites and knockout chocolate desserts, and offers a satisfying answer to the question, can real men eat just plants?

Medical icon Dr. Dean Ornish notes, “The Engine 2 Diet can save your life.”
But more men are probably interested in the info on page 39 of Esselstyn’s book, where he shows that “a plant-strong diet helps prevent erectile dysfunction!”



And, ladies, let’s hope Engine 2 comes out with a life-size, full color calendar next year. M-m-m-m.
