Esselstyn Dietary Rules The Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Dietary Rules (for heart disease, weight loss, chronic disease prevention and reversal) • No meat, no poultry, no fish--not even salmon • No dairy of any kind--not even skim milk or non-fat yogurt. • No eggs--not even egg whites or Egg Beaters. • No oil--not even virgin olive oil or canola oil • Aim for 100% Whole Grain products. Ingredients must say, Whole Wheat, or Whole Buckwheat, Whole Rye,etc. 100% stone-ground wheat is not Whole Wheat unless the word Whole appears. Forget about semolina flour in pasta. Forget about white rice. I thought my Barilla Plus multigrain pasta was fantastic--turns out, semolina is the number one ingredient. • Do not drink juice. Fruit is fine. A little juice used to saute, or season recipes or for salad dressings is fine • Eat soy products cautiously. They are high in fat (40% +) and many are highly processed. Only use Lite Tofu (like Mori-Nu or NaSoya Lite Firm Tofu). I also use Soy Boy Organic 5 Grain Low Fat Tempeh. • Reduce sugar as much as possible. When you do use it for recipes, stick to the more unprocessed varieties. But don't fool yourself, maple syrup, agave, and honey are still sugar. I use stevia. • If you have heart disease, do not eat nuts, avocados and coconuts. • Read all labels, especially THE INGREDIENTS!!! • The Rest of the World of Vegetables, Fruit, Legumes, and Whole Grains is Yours. • To read more about Ann Esselstyn's cooking & shopping tips, click here.

  • Rip Esselstyn: in Honor of Father's Day Last Sunday, I Gathered up Your Questions, Called My Dad, Dr
    Rip Esselstyn: In honor of Father's Day last Sunday, I gathered up your questions, called my dad, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn Junior. Affectionately known as Esse. I want you to know that there's probably nothing in this world that he loves more than to help people to understand the importance of their fork, the simple fork in fighting disease, and how we should never think that it's okay to injure our endothelial cells. He is the ultimate taskmaster. Much to everyone's disappointment, he doesn't prescribe a 90% plan. He is 100% all-in, and he expects the rest of us to follow suit. He does not believe in moderation, as most of you know, but he does believe in you, and your ability to tackle this disease head-on, and bring it to its knees. Rip Esselstyn: Nobody said that this was going to be easy, and that's okay. All of us, from time to time, need a really good challenge in our lives, to push ourselves outside our comfort zones, test our limits, and see exactly what we're made of. My father speaks the truth. He never rounds up to make an argument land in his favor. He just wants us to live our best, most vibrant lives. Now, to give you a sneak peek, some of the topics we discuss are nitric oxide, and why chewing leafy greens every day is your best defense against chronic Western disease, including COVID-19. Why fluoride toothpaste is a no-no. My father's take on statins, and supplements.

  • Forks Over Knives
    HOW THE FEATURE DOCUMENTARY FORKS OVER KNIVES IS CHANGING LIVES “I’ve worked in the nutrition field for over ten years and I’ve never seen a film so provocative, thorough, and inspiring! Every client I recommended it to who followed the principles outlined in the film saw dramatic changes in their health. It even converted my Texan meat- loving husband to a whole-foods vegan, and he’s never looked or felt better!” —CYNTHIA PASQUELLA, Beverly Hills “Forks Over Knives changed our lives. We now subscribe to an entirely plant-based diet and feel better than we ever imagined possible. … This is The Inconvenient Truth of health and nutrition and will have a profound effect on generations to come.” —KRISTINA LISOWSKI, Boulder “My blood pressure was out of control [and] I knew I had to make a change or die at a young age. …. Three months later, I’ve lost twenty pounds and my blood pressure is at normal levels, [and] I owe it all to a 100% plant-based diet, exercise, and the efforts of everyone involved in [Forks Over Knives]. Thank you!” —ROB GOLDEN “[Forks Over Knives] educates people about their ability to take full control of their wellness. Don’t wait until you have an illness to make changes. Take action now. It’s so simple! Our bodies were created to run perfectly on plants.” —JULIE STERNER, Glenview, IL “Forks Over Knives is literally a lifesaver. Without fear-mongering, it gives straightforward, scientifically backed reasons one should adopt a plant-based diet. The message it delivers is simple: Animal products are killing you, and you don’t need them to survive.” —LISA FRICKE, Huntington Beach, CA “Before seeing Forks Over Knives, I had already read all the literature out there on how a plant-based, whole-foods diet can do amazing things for your health, and I still learned more from the film.

Although there are many societal benefits to a vegan lifestyle, only 2% of the U.S. population is currently vegan. Past research has shown that, as a group, vegans’ behavior matches their beliefs. This study is based on semi-structured interviews with 17 vegans in Burlington, Vermont. The purpose of the study was to better understand why and how these vegans became and maintained a vegan lifestyle. An analysis of the interviews showed that the participants went through four stages in their vegan journey: Readiness, Spark, Learning and Telling, and Continuing Journey.
