Weight————————– -3.0 lbs

*AVERAGE RESULTS FROM MORE THAN 1200 PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED SEVEN-DAY RETREATS WITH BEFORE/AFTER BIOMETRIC SCREENINGS

I want you to experience the same joyful results of our retreat participants. I want you to go just seven days without eating any animal protein, animal flesh, or animal by-products. You won’t be eating any processed and refined carbohydrates, either. No trashy calories that are a nutritional black hole. You also won’t be eating a lot of calorie-rich, high-fat, foods like avocados, nuts, and processed oils. You’ll just be eating the best and strongest foods in the world and getting the biggest bang for your calorie buck.

Here’s what I promise you: not only will you feel better than you have in years, you’ll lose weight, your total cholesterol level will be much more attractive, your LDL cholesterol will be much less lethal, your triglycerides will be on the downslide, your energy will be on the upswing, and your poops will be easy and on schedule.

You’ll be on a path to a life free of medications.

Statins, blood pressure medications, and diabetic drugs address the symptoms of these diseases, but they do nothing to address the underlying causation: the food.

RIP ESSELSTYN, THE ENGINE 2 SEVEN-DAY RESCUE DIET

Just as the slew of chronic Western diseases are the manifestations of our unhealthy food choices day after day, week after week, and year after year, you will see the opposite when you make healthy food choices each day. And after you’ve strung together just seven of these days, your body starts to rapidly detox and remove unwanted cholesterol, inflammation, body fat, and a bunch of other debris that have accumulated at a molecular and cellular level in your body for decades.

You’ll also discover all kinds of wonderful foods you may never have eaten before—and you’ll find that these foods will fill you up, taste great, and keep your whole body healthy.

But what can you eat? Here’s a quick video on what I eat in a day. But our community is loaded with recipes and resources to help you get started!
