Plant-Strong by Rip Esselstyn

The New York Times bestselling author of The Engine 2 Diet and nutrition lecturer Rip Esselstyn is back with invaluable knowledge of the health benefits of a plant-based diet that will convince curious carnivores to change their diets once and for all.

Esselstyn reveals information on the foods that most people believe are healthy, yet that scientific research shows are not. Some foods, in fact, he deems so destructive they deserve a warning label. My Beef with Beat will convince skeptics of the following:

• You don't need meat and dairy to have strong bones or get enough protein
• You get enough calcium and iron in plants
• The myth of the Mediterranean diet
• There is a serious problem with the Paleo diet
• If you eat plants, you lose weight and feel great

My Beef With Meat proves the Engine 2 way of eating can optimize health and ultimately save lives, and includes more than 145 delicious recipes to help readers reach that goal.
