Format:Hardcover
I bought this book because, although I don't have heart disease, I do have a family history of heart disease on both sides of the family. Having read the book, I decided to follow the nutrition plan for a trial period of 3 months. I am six weeks into that trial period now and it hasn't been too hard to follow although I would admit I have deviated from it on 4 or 5 meals during the six weeks so I haven't followed it absolutely rigidly. I took my blood cholesterol today. My previous 10 readings were all between 4.4mmol/L(170mg/dL) and 6.9mmol/L (265mg/dL) but after six weeks on this plan I recorded my lowest ever reading of 2.5mmol/L (~95mg/dL) and my ratio of total cholesterol to HDL was 3.57 which is well within the healthy range.
On top of that, I have lost weight, lost body fat, and I feel great despite not doing as much exercise as I should be doing. If you want to get your blood cholesterol down without taking drugs to achieve it, this is a great way to do it. It requires some effort, but it's worth it.

This is a fantastic book, full of information to help prevent and even reverse heart disease. No, you don't have to eat just cardboard and tofu! There is a HUGE array of foods you can eat, but yes, it's basically plant-based, but I'm sure you already knew that. You will not go hungry on this 'diet', I promise. This is more of a lifestyle than a diet. The book has lots and lots of recipes to try. Once you realize what your body really needs to work efficiently, it's easy to pick and choose what to eat. I highly recommend this book. Your body will thank you!

Format:Paperback
Esselstyn provides dramatic photo evidence from patient scans and angiograms that his nutritional regime, plus statins, can actually reverse heart disease. Since he also refers to other health problems such as strokes as having a common origin with heart disease, his findings can justifiably be called revolutionary. My only reservation about the book is that he does not refer to the importance for heart health of avoiding prolonged periods of stress. With the minor modifications of small portions of fish or chicken breast 2-3 times per week, I have adopted his diet following a minor heart attack 6 months ago and have found that an important benefit has been some desirable weight loss as well as a cholesterol reduction down to 2.8 total. This is essential reading for anyone with a history of heart disease or a tendency for it in the family. One supplememtary point is my strong recommendation to also buy the book on "Reverse Heart Disease Now" by Sinatra & Roberts, which includes much useful info on health supplements and, for those who want to dig into the underlying evidence of the long term damage potential of our western diet, I recommend "The China Study".

Good book
Lot of common sense difficult to Do unless terribly committed but I suppose if one is in the position and with the positive reviews you would be tempted to follow the diet.
