THE ENGINE TWO DIET

Ok, everyone we are switching things up this month. To get the public a little more involved, we are trying a DIET book. The big d-word. And this is no ordinary diet - it's a very aggresive nutrition plan, written by an Austin, TX firefighter, Rip Esselstyn.

No meat.

No chicken.

No fish.

No eggs. No dairy... even no oil.

Are you up for the challenge? We have recruited two firefighters from the Tulsa Fire Department. One with dangerously high cholesterol, who pays $90 a month to pay for cholesterol medications. The other is an athlete who wants to maximize his athletic potential. Firefighters in general are at very high risk for heart disease given the nature of their job.

But this is not just for these guys - the book is for everyone. The author claims this is the ultimate road to good health. How could it effect you? I'm giving it a try. I'm already a vegetarian, but this is taking it to a new level.

Thoughts? We'll be checking in with the firefighters periodically. Also, tune into 2News Midday for their results.

I haven't forgotten about Wicked - review to come!

Happy Fourth of July!
