The land of Esselstyn... where the living is easy!

My cousin turned me on the Esselstyn lifestyle. Her husband, who has suffered from genetically high cholesterol, had seen many male family members die before their time due to heart disease. When vegetarianism and then veganism didn't solve his problem, they went hardcore into the Esselstyn lifestyle.

In 5 short months, my cousin (average size 12 American female) lost almost 30 pounds, much of it by foregoing the core of their vegan diet: olive oil, nuts, avocados, etc. Her husband also lost weight; better yet, his high cholesterol finally responded and is now in the excellent range.

My cousin then recommended the Esselstyn book to me, as my husband's cholesterol has stubbornly remained above 200, and he, too, has a history of heart disease in his immediate family. Though we believed we were already eating a healthy diet, several hours of reading through Esselstyn's findings soon proved we were wrong. We made a pact to try the diet for just 1 month and evaluate where we stood.

Well, 1 short month convinced us that this is the way to eat for life! We've now been following the program for 37 days, and the changes are already obvious. My husband has lost about 12 pounds and 3" in his waistline. He feels "lighter" and less bloated, and is "completely satisfied" (his words) by the wide variety of natural and delicious foods we eat.

As for me, I have lost about 9 pounds and a total of 12"; I will soon need new jeans! My mid-afternoon cravings are miraculously gone. And no one was more surprised than I to discover that we do not miss eating the staples of our previous diet, such as grilled salmon, eggs, olive oil, fat-free dairy products, dark chocolate, and an occasional 96% Laura's Lean sirloinburger. Another side benefit is that we are spending less at the grocery store!

If you're on the fence about this one, do what we did... try it for just 1 month (but be sure to give it 100%) and then make your decision.

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease

This book put me on a new path to curing my heart disease. It is extreme in what it requires: vegan diet AND no use of oils. This was the hardest thing for me because I LOVE nuts, olive oil and butter. I had previously been a ovo-lacto vegetarian so the step to vegan was not as challenging as it would be for meat/fish eaters. The fantastic thing, however, is that this is actually a way to take personal responsibility for making improvements in my heart health. I am also on a small dose of lipitor, which Dr. Esselstyn also recommends. My hope is to get off this drug totally after things have stabilized. A short time after starting this eating routine, I had blood work done and my cholesterol has gone from 320 total to 160. Not bad after just 5 weeks of effort!
I bought a bunch of the cook books recommended at the back of Dr. Esselstyn's book and these are very helpful.

Beyond Expectation

We purchased this book after my wife started to have heart spasms. We were told there was nothing that could be done for her, that she would have to live with it and be on medication the rest of her life. After three weeks on this diet she no longer takes medication and has more energy than she did before her problems. If you have heart disease read this book and do the diet, you'll be glad you did.

this really works!!!

This is a great book for people with very high cholesterol or have heart disease. It is not an easy diet to start, but once you get used to it, it becomes much easier. Going out to eat is a challenge, but can be done.
