2008 changed my life I became a grandmother twice!...

2008 changed my life I became a grandmother twice! In February we welcomed our first Grandson and in June our first Granddaughter truly a life changing experience for my husband and I. I have battled high cholesterol and weight issues for years. Trying on my own to lower them has virtually seemed impossible. Not wanting to suffer a stroke or heart attack and miss whatever years I might have with my grandchildren I decided to talk to my doctor about what medications might be available. While watching the news this morning I heard about this book and thought maybe this is one last chance to do it on my own, at least I feel it has to be worth a try!

I was reading about this diet and wanted to find out more, which is how I ended up on your blog. He is advocating a lifestyle change (per an interview in the local paper), but also trying to get you to do it for 28 days. I've heard it takes 30 days to learn a new habit, so maybe that's part of the rationale. As well as you can see real results in your bloodwork by then. It sounds interesting to me as an athlete who is trying to lose weight and eat better. Plus I joined a CSA so I get a box of veggies I have to eat every week and some recipes would be grand. I'd love to win a copy of this book. :-) One thing that puzzles me is that I read it says no oil whatsoever. I assume that means olive oil as well. So for example, you stir fry with chicken broth. I'd like to know why that is so much better.

Sounds like the book will be worth reading...I'm always interested in adding some good, healthy recipes to my arsenal.

I'm a vegan and a runner who has lost over 100 pounds eating sensibly and changing lifestyle. I'm interested in what the boys at Engine 2 have to say - I'm guessing it will straightforward and sensible. It IS possible to live and train on a plant-based diet - as evidenced by what Canadian Ironman Brendan Brazier has to say in his book The Thrive Diet. We need to get more of this type of info out there!!

I honestly have to say the 28 day part concerns me as well. I think the MUST part is the part about it being a lifestyle. I think that is what this book is about as well, and that is the only reason I am looking at it. I will know more as I read more. (my opinion may change if it is all about the 28 day program)

Thanks to both of you.

Congratulations on your successes and continued success. As a Registered Dietitian I am SO GLAD and happy that you have done it this way. Good luck on your marathon training. My first was in Oct 08 and I said never again. Now I'm training for the San Antonio Rock n Roll.

Been there done that - but I would be wary of 28 day programs. It is the consistency that matters. While you might achieve your goals in 28 days, if you had pushed hard to reach there, staying there would be really difficult. I would rather look for a program that can be part of my routine.
