My Beef with Meat Book Preview & Recipe

KayLynn · May 8, 2013 · 2 Comments

EsselstynMYBEEFWITHMEAT (HC)-L

You might remember how watching the film Forks Over Knives inspired me to eliminate all non-plant foods from my diet. One of the people I became acquainted with  in the film was Rip Esselstyn.

Rip was a member of the Austin Fire Department where he introduced his passion for a whole-food, plant-based diet to Austin’s Engine 2 Firehouse in order to rescue a firefighting brother’s health. To document his success he wrote the national bestselling book, The Engine 2 Diet, which shows the irrefutable connection between a plant-based diet and good health.

Now he’s following up that book with My Beef with Meat: The Healthiest Argument for Eating a Plant-Strong Diet (affiliate link) which will be released next week on May 14th.

About My Beef with Meat

My Beef with Meat explains to plant eaters and meat eaters alike why a whole food, plant-strong diet is great on so many levels, hence the subtitle: The Healthiest Argument for Eating a Plant-Strong Diet”. The primary driving force behind the book was to delve deeper into the major myths that keep surfacing about eating plants, such as: “You won’t get enough protein”, “You won’t get enough calcium”, “Eating plants is too expensive”, “Real men (and women) eat meat”, “Olive oil is heart-healthy”, and “Moderation in everything.”

I don’t know about you but I’ve said many of those things in the past. But what I was doing wasn’t working.  I was on the cusp of diabetes, taking a statin for high cholesterol and triglycerides and being treated for hypertension.

And it wasn’t from too much red meat.  My husband will share that I preferred fish and poultry over beef the past few years.  I was ready to shake it up and fight for my health.

A My Beef with Meat Recipe

My Beef with Meat not only proves the Engine 2 way of eating can optimize health and ultimately save lives, but it also includes more than 145 delicious recipes to help readers reach that goal.

I love cookies and wanted to share that you can eat a plant-based diet and still have dessert!  Enjoy Rips recipe and find more recipes at the Engine 2 Diet along with some of the most inspiring stories I’ve read.

    I agree with you, this is probably the healthiest eating style ever! Personally, I am trying to make everything in the healthiest possible way and eating as much salad as I can, usually just adding some vegetables and pouring some olive oil or my new discovery, a little bit of a special tomato wine which goes perfectly with the taste, although you wouldn´t believe. Enjoy! 🙂

    I want to eat more vegetarian meals too. I’ll put this book on my reading list. We usually eat a few vegetarian meals/week, but more would be even better.
