My Beef with this book. My main beef with this book is that Rip Esselstyn has sold out. He has partnered with Whole Foods and advertises on his web sites for many different products. He even has his own brand of cereal now sold in Whole Foods. That is fine for him and I have no problem with him making money. However, profit driven advice is not necessarily the healthiest thing for you. I got Rip's books because I am reading 'Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition' by T. Colin Campbell and he..more
I have read Rip's first book The Engine 2 Diet and let me start by saying that this is not that book. The Engine 2 Diet explains why a plant based diet is good for you, and teaches you how to implement it into your life. It gives some room for the hesitant meat eater to ease into this way of life. My Beef With Meat assumes that you've already converted or are close and are looking to be able to handle conversations with the meat eaters in your life. He's blunt and in your face in this book. He g..more
While I didn't learn anything new, it is still a good book. This is especially good for those who are not all that familiar with the benefits of a plant based diet. I like the humorous approach that is taken and the fact that he covers so many areas.
A hard hitting, fast paced, sensible overview of the long-term benefits of cutting meat and milk out of your diet. By de-emphasizing the moral standpoint (only one 2 page chapter hits on cruelty to animals) and emphasizing the health elements (meats and milks contain tons of bad, difficult to digest fats and animal proteins), Rip makes a strong case for switching to plant-strong diet. He furthers his argument by explaining that we can get all our vitamins and proteins from the assortment of plan..more

Just wanted to add an update to my review from 2013 below. This book now has a new title which is Plant-Strong. The subtitle is, Discover The World's Healthiest Diet. The cover is white with green lettering and shows a close-up photo of a delicious plant-based burger! It seems to be updated perhaps slightly and it was republished under this new name in 2015. This is the best book on healthful eating! Naturally, I think that since I eat a primarily plant-based and whole grain diet myself, but rea..more
I'll start out that I eat paleo and eating that way has changed my life. My friend Laura mentioned that she was reading the book and the book description sounded intriguing, especially to get counter-points to my chosen lifestyle. What I found interesting as I read the book that the chapters about vegetables read just like many of the other paleo books I'd read: vegetables are packed with necessary nutrients, eat lots of them, eat in variety, limit sweets and processed foods. In a very simple sum..more

Wow! This is the perfect book to give someone who wants to get all the facts they need about eating - and then can then make smart decisions about what Rip accurately terms 'your number one asset, your health'! The chapters are concise and written in a no-nonsense fashion with just the right balance of humor and honesty. You've got to love a book with chapters like 'Plants Perk Up Your Pecker', 'Chocolate! You Bet!' and 'Poops from Heaven'! All of Rip's material is backed up with solid science. Wha..more

Ok..this is really just a re-telling of many of the same things in The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter's 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan that Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds and The China Study (or Forks Over Knives). This is helpful for you Vegans/Veggie eaters and whole foods/ plant strong that are having a difficult time explaining to the 'meaties' in your life WHY you've chosen to eat like this. At one point he's talking about a conversation where a gentleman never had to expla..more

Rip's newest book is excellent. I've been plant based for over three years and know first hand the health benefits of not eating meat, dairy and eggs. His latest book gives great information whether you are already eating this way, just starting out on this journey or thinking about going plant based. Rip puts it in simple terms and provides the proof and information to back up the claims that a whole foods plant based diet can improve your health and help reverse and prevent many diseases. The..more

I read Engine 2 Diet last year and liked this book as well. There is a lot of information that dispels many myths out there about eating a plant strong diet. I am back on track with eating and cooking this way and I feel better and have more energy.

Very accessible and easy reading but he hits all the points!
Book pinpoints all the myths about a person needing to eat meat to live.
Jan 15, 2018Gayle Pritchard rated it really liked it
I never would have picked up this book based on the title or the goofy title, but the librarian recommended it when the title I was seeking was not available. I was pleasantly surprised at the number and variety of amazing recipes, all meeting my parameters of no or limited oil, sugars and salt, and limited grains. The book would benefit from more illustrations, but I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes.

Just in time for your Fourth of July barbeque comes my review of Rip Esselstyn’s new book, My Beef with Meat: The Healthiest Argument for Eating a Plant-Strong Diet. I know. Aren’t I just a kick in the pants? You’re probably thinking something along the lines of who the hell invited this killjoy (that would be me) to dinner? After all, it’s the Fourth of July; it’s practically un-American not to fire up some burgers, hot dogs, and chicken on the grill, right? Well, as Americans, that’s sort of ou..more

I watched Rip Esselstyn's Engine 2 Kitchen Rescue associated with Forks Over Knives on Netflix recently. I knew that the Engine 2 diet was plant based and that I saw this guy all over Whole Foods but that was the extent of my knowledge with Engine 2 etc. I'll be honest, the Kitchen Rescue irritated me for a number of reasons, including when Esselstyn stated that vegans eat a lot of processed food. Well way to generalize and assume Esselstyn! Yes, there are junk food vegans and vegans who are as..more
I read this during the time I was also reading Whole, by Colin Campbell. Both are arguments to eat a whole foods, plant-based diet- even referred to by Dr. Campbell as the WFPB diet - for your health and for the health of the planet (and the animals). But they approach the subject from different angles. I think it's useful and instructive to read both. Esselstyn's book is a combination: half is the logical scientific arguments against eating animal foods and in favor of plant-based whole foods. I..more

The author, a firefighter saw a need for change with so many overweight and unhealthy friends in his field. He brings some very interesting information to us in this his second book. He covers scientific research facts that show perhaps our present �modern dietetic facts we are all fed aren't all true. He also covers many of the popular diets and why he feels they are not as healthy as directed by general thinking. Do we really need all that dairy, meat and oil to be healthy ? What about in the..more

I had been wanting to get healthier and try to avoid heart disease and cancer as I age, and was curious about going from vegetarian (20 years) to vegan and asked a friend how she did it - this was her response: Engine 2. I looked it up on the Internet and selected Rip Esselstyn's book Plant-Strong to read on Kindle. I devoured this book, which was so full of information and inspiration and, on a practical basis, many good recipes and lists of new-to-me ingredients to use in food preparation. The..more

I've been reading a lot about vegan diets. Over the past few days I also read 'The Kind Diet' by Alicia Silverstone. I think that book was a much better read. I also recently read Kimberly Snyder's 'The Beauty Detox Foods.' I did like 'My Beef With Meat,' though. It is especially good with providing arguments in favor of a plant-based diet, especially to counter the push-back vegan converts are likely to receive from meat-eating friends and family. He's a bit less specific than some other books..more
I already don't eat meat (6+ years), so that shock wasn't new to me, but I recently opted to remove dairy from my diet as a trial to see how I'd feel, if I'd fell healthier, etc..then this book came out. It backs up every change I've instituted in my diet with facts and detailed explanations and has now motivated me to permanently adopt a plant-strong/vegan way of life. I have yet to try to replicate any of the plethora of recipes in the back, but perused most if them and am rearing to go in ter..more

Just skimmed Rip's new book. Our plant-strong family always likes a good Engine 2 recipe (minus the jalapeños for the little ones!). Rip is back with more health information for the plant-curious and recipes that will be sure to please even the most reluctant omnivore.
Rip's case makes total sense to me. Hubby & I have been on a plant-strong, vegan diet for just over a month. We feel great, are losing weight (though that wasn't the main objective) and giving our kids a great example of how to eat healthy. The recipes are really yummy too.
Good read; chock full of interesting information about the food we eat. Will definitely make you think before you put that next bite of meat in your mouth.
Feb 19, 2019Toby Brennen rated it it was ok · review of another edition
In our family there is an oft asked 'riddle', 'how can you tell if someone is vegan?' Answer: 'You don't have to, they'll tell you.' And usually right after 'Hi! My name is . . . . ' I don't intend to ridicule vegans or vegetarians. Many of my best friends are one or the other - and I quite possibly may be joining their ranks. But the 'joke' sets the tone for how I felt about 'Plant-Strong: Discover the World's Healthiest Diet' by Rip Esselstyn. The book is an easy read, but aggressive and unfli..more
To be clear - I agree with the vast majority of conclusions and overarching message that Esselstyn espouses when he talks about nutrition. I just really don't care for how he makes those arguments. I think perhaps I'm not the target audience for this book. I've read books on nutrition that do an excellent job of preaching to the choir, and I've read others that seem to adopt a more friendly, casual, at times almost condescending tone of the door to door evangelist spreading the gospel of plant b..more

We're always heading for a plant-based diet. It's a continuing journey as we shed our meat-eating ways then fall back on the familiar chicken and fish dishes. This book gives oodles of recipes. I started writing them down from the library book I borrowed then saw the futility of doing so and ordered it online. If you've heard the arguments against vegetarianism (not enough protein, blah, blah) the author lays out the facts for your counter-arguments in a straight forward way. If you've thought abou..more

I loved this book! I went vegan in March because of my diabetes and heart. I read this book and watched Forks over Knives (a documentary) and made the conversion. So far, so good! I feel great, lots of energy (after the first month), and my numbers are falling. I promise you that if you read this book and take it seriously, your life will change--for the better!
Rip Esselstyn will change the way you eat. His father is a renowned surgeon who preaches that longevity is achieved through a plant based diet, and during his career as a firefighter, he helped many of his fellow heroes lose weight and fight off heart disease and high blood pressure. If you're new to Rip, definitely give this book a read. I also has recipes, so come on, why not read it.

“Whether through grains, beans, or even fruit, there’s plenty of protein in a plant-strong diet. We only need 5-8% of our calories from protein, and since protein is the one macronutrient that we can’t store, when you get above 15% it either stores as fat or we excrete it.” — 1 likes
“It’s not the plant-based foods that will make you ill, it’s the meat and the liquid meat (i.e.: dairy) that can lead to sickness and death. Consider this: If your food had a face or a mother (or comes from something that did), then it also has varying amounts of artery-clogging, plaque-plugging, and cholesterol-hiking animal protein, animal cholesterol, and animal fat. These substances are the building blocks of the chronic diseases that plague Western society.” — 1 likes
