Hi Rip, I reached out to you in July about my high cholesterol of 230+, even though I’ve became plant based 5 years. However, I ate vegan burgers and sweets like vegan choc chip cookies and cakes. After reading your Dad’s book and listening to you, I asked you if my cholesterol was high because of the processed foods. You said maybe so. I stopped cold turkey. No sweets and no processed vegan foods. My total cholesterol went to 155 and my LDL 98!!! Triglycerides 99! All in only 4 weeks!! Thank you!!❤🎉❤

Thanks Rip! I was trying to feed my 2 year old his salad with his meal and he didn’t want to eat his salad. I told him that firefighters eat salad and I said I’d show him a video (of you) eating salad if he took his bite and ate it. So he did! 😅and so after my 2 and 4 year old saw you cooking these meals in the kitchen and asked where your hat was and firefighter pants were- lol. Video idea for you! Make a video of you making healthy meals maybe geared for kids while wearing some figherfighter gear! 😁 oh and when you said your kids love the chickpea dish- my kids asked “where are his kids? “ haha!!

RIP got me sober on food 13 years ago in E2 classes at Whole Foods. I went to class every year offered and when he book toured. He xxv saved my life

I’m a Journeyman Lineman for a power company in the southwest - even with a physically active lifestyle my blood test markers started showing some potential concerns about two years ago. Following Rip’s suggestions and his wife’s cookbook my wife and I (she was looking for improvements in her blood as well) have seen amazing progress in our LDL and Glucose markers while simultaneously seeing improvement in my heart rate readings (resting-systolic-diastolic). Also, noticed workouts at the gym are becoming more productive. Beyond thankful for Rip and his family for their willingness to get this information out there to a nation that has been sold on a western diet that does more harm than good. 🙏 ❤ 💪

i made red quinoa with some veg broth. chopped red onion, cilantro, black beans and white beans, fortified yeast some garlic powder, so good.

Everything looks delicious - I really love these "what I eat in a day" - thank you for sharing

Esselstyn recipes are always so good! I can't wait to try the cheezy chickpea

Thank you for the video! I'll now try it myself! I do make my own beans, I'll have to remember to just save some of the liquid. A side note on broccoli: the stems actually have more of "I forgot which nutrient" nutrients. So- don't pass up the stems, they actually have more nutrients for you! Yeah! No waste, and many frozen I've bought have lots of stems-now I appreciate it!

I really appreciate these recipes especially the cheesy chick peas this is gonna be a staple!! Just starting out my journey already feeling fantastic after just a couple weeks looking forward to making this a permanent lifestyle.

Calorie density concepts don't seem to work for me. I am not giving up but I don't think I can lose weight and I am just hoping that all of the salads and fruit and bowls of oatmeal will at least bring more health than the pizza and ice cream and candy bars that I used to eat. I am not going back. But I feel like I get so discouraged by not losing weight that I just want to find recipes and enjoy them and not feel so sad about all of it.

Garlic is the number one antibiotic. It doesn't destroy good bacteria, unlike synthetic ones. My fellow Russians have tons of studies on it and others have studies on it too now. Many don't know about that. (; Hehe. So yummy too! I love powder too because peeling garlic is tedious if it's that's what one is working with and powder covers more area. Hehe. 🥳😅😁👌👁️

here is a tip for making your pasta preparation quicker, all you have to do is plan ahead a little bit. cook your pasta Al Dente and then freeze. now when you want to have pasta all you have to do is boil about 3 in of water in your pot take the bag out of the freezer and pour it into the water and it's done in 30 seconds

Thanks for sharing these meals. I just tried the cheesy chickpeas today. The recipe needed something additional for my palate, so I added a few spoonfuls of Melissa's brand basil pesto (vegan). It added that flavor I needed. I eat gluten free, so I used cornstarch instead of flour. That worked just fine. I'll definitely be making this more often.

Our family is gluten free as well, and I chuckled over the addition of the flour! I might add some cooked quinoa or green banana flour (rich in prebioyics) I made a lovely green humus a few days ago with 'from scratch' chickpeas mixed with garden greens, parsley and basil, and of course garlic!

Thank you for making these simple.

That grapefruit addition to breakfast really is great. My lightheadedness and fatigue seem to have gone now.
