The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter's 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan that Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds, December 26, 2017, by Rip Esselstyn. In just four weeks, you can lose weight, lower cholesterol, significantly reduce disease risk, and enhance your physical fitness. Rip Esselstyn, a professional athlete turned firefighter, developed a transformative plan when he discovered his fellow firefighters at Engine 2 in Austin, TX, were suffering from severe health issues, including dangerously high cholesterol levels—one as high as 344! His program led to significant health improvements: participants lost weight, some over 20 lbs., and reduced their cholesterol levels dramatically, with one individual dropping to 196. Rip's book, "The Engine 2 Diet," details this effective and medically approved plan, which is easy to follow and promises substantial results without extreme effort. The diet focuses on whole foods like grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
