The Engine Behind Engine 2
Rip Esselstyn created The Engine 2 Diet after he discovered the dangerously high cholesterol level (344!) of one of his fellow firefighters at the Austin, Texas Engine 2 Fire Station. The results of his plant-strong diet were so dramatic – and the food so delicious and easy-to-prepare – that Rip wrote a book about it, The Engine 2 Diet, which became a national best seller!
