How’s this for a fun twist on spring cleaning: For seven days, simply eat your fill of berry pancakes, split pea soup, pasta primavera and anything else that sounds good and is made from whole plant foods. That’s all there is to it! As you enjoy bottomless bowls and overflowing plates, you’ll load up with enough fiber, water, antioxidants and other nutrients to get your entire system spick-and-span. “The body begins to rapidly detox and remove excess cholesterol, inflammation and body fat that have been accumulating for decades,” reveals nutrition expert Rip Esselstyn, founder of PlantStrong.com and author of The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet. Results are stunning: In a single week, folks have slashed blood pressure by 49 points, cut cholesterol 76 points, lowered triglycerides 1,438 points, reversed prediabetes and shed up to 14 pounds!
We’ve all heard fruits and veggies are good for us—and many plans focus on them. So what sets the ‘Rescue’ approach apart? Well, its guidelines ensure each meal contains crazy-high nutrition and huge volume for a fraction of the calories in a normal meal. The effect is powerful. In an NIH study led by Kevin D. Hall, Ph.D., scientists compared diets with unlimited whole plants to unlimited keto fare. They found Rescue-style eating actually stimulates 272% faster fat burn than keto! On top of that, unlimited whole plants cut cholesterol 3,215% more than going low-carb. Says Esselstyn: “You can take control of your health destiny in a single week!”
