Lori Lakin Hutcherson's Reviews > The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter's 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan that Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds

The plant-based diet advocated in the book is absolutely sound and the recipes included seem do-able and very much based on typical American cuisine (meatloaf, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, stir-fry). The way the information is presented is an incongruous mix of plain "blue collar" style anecdotes and technical health jargon, so it doesn't flow so simply as a read. But the bottom line is it's a good book, it stresses health, good eating and exercise, and doesn't present itself as a "get slim quick" program, but rather a lifestyle choice. Kind of odd that the author shies away from saying it's a vegan diet, because it is, as are all the other books he cites as influences.
