The New York Times bestselling guide to the lifesaving diet that can both prevent and help reverse the effects of heart disease
Based on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects. Dr. Esselstyn is an internationally known surgeon, researcher and former clinician at the Cleveland Clinic and a featured expert in the acclaimed documentary Forks Over Knives. Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease has helped thousands across the country, and is the book behind Bill Clinton’s life-changing vegan diet.
The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed Dr. Esselstyn’s program, including a number of patients in his original study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. Within months of starting the program, all Dr. Esselstyn’s patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms.
Complete with more than 150 delicious recipes perfect for a plant-based diet, the national bestseller Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease explains the science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives of heart disease patients forever. It will empower readers and give them the tools to take control of their heart health.

Wake up call!
I actually ordered this after watching Forks Over Knives as a follow up refresher kind of thing. I figure we always have more to learn. Now I will start by saying I think America as a whole would benefit from watching Forks Over Knives. This books goes into detail about Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr. and his research and conclusions about today’s main killers in America and boy is it a wake up call. If you are like me we grew up being told to always eat that meat and boy was it the main part of the meal. Now somewhere in my mind I always knew I should be eating the vegetables more and the meat less. I knew that meat and oil wasn’t all that healthy just by how I felt when I ate it compared to when I ate something healthy like a salad or some other ruffage. What I want to know is why it was never totally clicking that food that made me feel like crap after I ate it probably did the same thing to my organs but big duh to me. I mean we all hear about all of this healthy Vegan like food habits that save lives now but we were blind to it for so long and it is so much easier to order a pizza than cook right?I was the type that made dinner for my family I got rid of most of the red meat when my dad had his first heart attack but I always thought fish and chicken were healthy for us. Now don’t get me wrong I do believe fish has its place even now but I am able to see where I was wrong and that was the whole mindset that the veggies were a SIDE.I have rethought all of this since watching Forks Over Knives as I said that was the real wake up call for me and this was like follow up homework. Now I thought this book was easy to read he has a good personality and is not condescending in the least but if you are like me and have health paranoia at all this may not be for you. I say that only because it does go into a lot of detail about heart attacks and symptoms. I admit I am a hypochondriac. And no I am not just exaggerating, I am not ashamed I am beating such an awful disease. But as a fair warning to those out there like me this may go too into detail and cause some what of a scare. I was glued to the pages none the less and finished the whole book and am o.k. now that I really sorted it out in my head but just wanted to put that in there.Now I have made the lifestyle change personally and so far have lost 11 lbs and 5 inches on my waist. I read a couple other supportive books as well. This one has great recipes in it and there is a common sense education on cooking etc in it that I find to be awesome and ever so helpful for someone like me that is learning a whole new way to cook. I thought I knew how to read a label but sadly no I didn’t. So if you want to enrich the health of yourself and family this is a great read and it does go into detail on the studies and science, there is no doubt in my mind that this just makes sense. This book also shows you how to do it and believe me you will feel and see the difference. I am even more emotionally stable since starting the Forks Over Knives Diet. It helps in all areas of your life and if you think it costs too much to eat healthy think again what is the cost of not??? How much does a heart attack cost you and I do not mean in money so think it over how much does a good steak honestly cost you? Then if you say a cheeseburger at oh McDonald’s is cheap so I cannot afford to switch to veggies. Well if you live off of McDonald’s you cannot afford to not switch unless you like committing slow suicide. Sorry if this is blunt but America we need to wake up! I know that if you are reading this review you get what I am saying anyhow so do yourself a favor and just go for it get the book and make that change. You wont regret it and this is not coming from someone that loves to choke down salad trust me it was a shock for me but if I can do it why cant you?

Awesome, informative book
I love this book and it has even inspired me to purchase a food processor. It has alerted me to the importance of micro nutrition. I have already made some of the recipes and pay close attention to making sure any carbs I consume are from whole grain or fruit. I also discovered Agave Nectar, which has not given me the dreaded carb crash. I have made hummus, not exactly like the recipe in the back of the book but close. I like it much better than the kind sold at stores.I love how the Birthday Cake (p. 276) turned out! It is different but it is not bad. I use flax seed as an egg replacement and am satisfied with results. I made the Creamy Fudge Frosting (p. 279-280) in the food processor. It turned out very smooth and is great on the Birthday Cake. Good dessert without the carb crash experienced when eating food with refined flour and sugar. I enjoyed the fact it filled me up for quite a while after one piece. Very little if any fat in the cake. I made sure I used light tofu because the regular has too much fat to be healthy in this recipe.I tried the Grape Nuts Pie Crust (p.282-283.) Was not as impressed with this particular recipe because the crust stuck to the pie plate and the concentrated apple juice makes it so sweet, I got a light headed sugar rush. I loved the flavor of the Berry Pie Filling (p. 283.) OMgosh, anyone who has eaten a pie bought at a store and compares the filling to this will be blown away by the flavor punch in this recipe. It is soooooo good.The Easy Easy Curry Rice With Raisins (p.257) I prepared using my rice cooker and I never liked the consistency of the brown rice. It never seemed to get tender enough for my taste. I prefer this recipe without the orange zest as well.One thing I noticed is the book does not mention non stick cooking spray. It makes life so much easier. Is it okay to use it with this diet?Cannot wait to try more recipes from the book! It’s definitely a must-have for anyone wanting to eat a healthier diet.

Incredible read. Hope for anyone with heart disease. Written by leading US heart specialist, Dr.Caldwell Esselstyn. Includes over 150 beyond vegan recipes, that could change your life. Explains how necessary it is if you wish to prevent and reverse heart disease. Many are still enjoying life ten years after being diagnosed. S.O.S.- a diet without Sugar, Oil, or Salt. It may be tough at first, because it is definitely a life changer; but if you are truly serious about improving your health, then this book is a must. Highly recommend this! It is helping me; let it help you!

If you have heart disease, or care for someone who has it, buy this book.Dr. Esselstyn can save your life. Most unfortunately, the good doctor has nothing to say about heart failure except that his diet should be tried.If you have heart failure you need to read The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology by Dr.Stephen Sinatra. These two books are life savers. Read and educate yourself.

Ya conocía al Doctor Cadwell Esselstyn, escuchado numerosas conferencias médicas en yotube, por lo que el libro no fue ninguna decepción. Junto al Doctor Ornish, Barnard, Greger, el futuro de la medicina curativa y preventiva con bases científicas e investigaciones clínicas de varias décadas. Todos deberían tener la oportunidad de conocer lo que este médico y los otros mencionados han descubierto en las últimas décadas. Cambiaría drásticamente nuestras costumbres alimenticias y estilo de vida para siempre.
