I did notice that many of them weren’t balanced. There were lots of meal ideas and a ton of photos that people took of their food.
#ENGINE 2 MEAL PLANNER HOW TO#
Speaking of Facebook groups, I managed to infiltrate join the Engine 2 and the 7-Day Challenge pages.īoth had lots of discussion about how to feed kids an oil-free diet (hold me back) and sentiments such as, ‘why can’t the rest of the world just eat oil-free?’ But there are several references to weight on the Engine 2 site and on the cover of the book, and tons in the Facebook groups. Rather, it’s meant to be a ‘way of life’ that improves overall health and wellness and lowers cholesterol. If you thought a vegan diet was restrictive, Engine 2 is even more so.Įngine 2 isn’t sold as a weight loss diet in particular. You’ll also be cutting out refined sugars (maple syrup, molasses, and agave are okay), salt, ultra-processed foods, and processed grains. You’re limited to one handful of nuts (around 1 ounce) and a small amount of seeds per day. That means refined oils like canola are 100% off limits, and any food with 2.5 grams of fat per 100 calories is out. So not only will you be cutting out all animal products, you’ll also be limited in the fats you consume. The diet is essentially a vegan diet without oils. I probably would have sprayed him with a firehose until he stopped, but that’s just me. There’s a real trend of people thinking they’re nutrition experts and are really NOT, and publishing houses giving them airtime.Īnyhow, Rip put all his colleagues at the firehouse on this diet.

Rip seems to ride on his cardiologist daddy’s coattails for Engine 2, having been ‘inspired’ by his dad’s research. But does he know what he’s talking about when it comes to nutrition? He looks like someone my mom would call a ‘hunk,’ standing there with his muscles and his firefighter paraphernalia. He was in that stinker of a film The Game Changers ( read what I have to say about it here).

Who Invented the Engine 2 Diet?Įngine 2 was developed by Rip Esselstyn, who is a former Texas firefighter, pro triathlete, and ‘health activist,’ always great credentials for writing a diet book. I’d never heard of this plan, so I went over to the Engine 2 site to check it out. One of the diets that came up a couple of times was the oil-free Engine 2 diet. I recently put out a call on my Facebook page, asking my followers to tell me which diets they want me to review.
