"I've known Rip for more than 20 years. In that time, he's
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."-Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor,
seven-time Tour de France champion Lose weight, lower cholesterol, significantly reduce the
risk of disease, and become physically fit--in just 4
weeks. Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn is
used to responding to emergencies. So, when he learned that
some of his fellow Engine 2 firefighters in Austin, TX,
were in dire physical condition-several had dangerously
high cholesterol levels (the highest was 344!)-he sprang
into action and created a life-saving plan for the
firehouse. By following Rip's program, everyone lost weight
(some more than 20 lbs.), lowered their cholesterol (Mr.
344's dropped to 196), and improved their overall health.
Now, Rip outlines his proven plan in this book. With Rip as
your expert coach and motivator, you'll transform your body
and lifestyle in a month. His plant-powered eating plan is
based on a diet of whole foods, including whole grains,
fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. This
invaluable guide features: **Dozens of easy, mouthwatering
recipes-from pancakes to pizza, Tex-Mex favorites to
knockout chocolate desserts-that will keep you looking
forward to every bite **Pantry-stocking tips will take the
panic out of inevitable cravings and on-the-fly meals
**Guidelines on menu choices that will allow you to eat
out, wherever and whenever you want **Rip's simple,
firefighter-inspired exercise program that will boost your
metabolism and melt your fat away. Medically approved, easy-to-follow, and amazingly
effective, this diet is designed for anyone who wants to

being-all without heroic effort. "Want to be as strong as a Texas firefighter? Or as healthy

your life--whether you're a man or a woman. Highly
