  When my 19 yr old daughter went vegan i was alarmed and worried for her. I gave her the "you need protein" argument and "but we're omnivores" argument. Then i decided to really research Veganism so that i could talk her out of this lifestyle using facts and science. Well it didn't work out the way I envisioned it would. It's been 3yrs and she's still Vegan...but now so is her 55yr old Dad.! Best decision I ever made. My health (weight/cholesterol)   has dramatically improved as a result. My daughter mayve saved my life through her quiet yet firm insistence on being a vegan.

  I saw the documentary, "Forks Over Knives" two and a half years ago. I switched, cold turkey (pun intended), to a plant based diet and lost 35 pounds in 3 months. I have been eating a plant-based vegan diet ever since and I feel absolutely amazing. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend educating yourself and making changes in your diet!

  Plant-based lifestyle has been lifechanging for me. I lost my very fit father to undiagnosed heart disease on the day he was going to retire at 68 years old. He rode his bike up to the pool to swim his daily laps and lift weights on his lunch break, had a massive heart attack and drowned in the pool. One of his arteries was 95% blocked and another 85% blocked. He was eating a keto style diet. Just before that happened I'd read the China study and changed my own diet overnight. I lost 15 pounds, my depression and headaches went away and I was finally able to sleep through the night. It was too late to save my dad but it's now my life's work to share my story of vitality with others! 11 years later I have stuck with it and still feel amazing!

  I thought this guy died because it said RIP Esselstyn, I was googling him to try to find out how he died, I was kind of sad, then I found out that his name was Rip, so fucking funny, and relieved that this guy is still alive lol!

  LOVE him shutting them right down.."no guys, it puts plaque in your arteries and makes you less of a man."
