7 Day Rescue Diet Pdf
When I first came across this challenge, The Seven Day Rescue Diet by Rip Esselstyn I thought "how hard can it be?" I mean I'm already plant based/vegan. But I did face some challenges, in fact I cheated. That's right I cheated, on my second day of all things.
Now to be fair, I didn't realize I wasn't following the "plan". I made curry. A nice vegetable, chickpea curry. Seems harmless right? So, where did I do wrong? I used coconut milk. I guess coconut milk is high in fat. Do I feel like I should stop and start over? Nope. Did I quit? Not at all, instead I packed up the leftovers and in the freezer they went, well after I had another spoonful. 🙂
The thing I learned on this journey is how much oil and fat I actually consume. Yes for me it's easier to cook without oil, but I don't really check on the fat content, as long as it's plant based, it's all good. I've been spoiled over the last 5 years, there are so many vegan options out there, but the convenient foods are no better fat wise than what they try to mimic. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I have some beefless burgers and pizza in the freezer for those days I don't feel like cooking.
When I received The Seven Day Rescue, I was really happy. It laid everything out for me. And pizza- yes pizza is ok during the rescue. They have a recipe for pizza, but more about the recipes later.
The Seven Day Rescue Diet is straightforward. Part 1 talks about Why We Love Plants, Why We Love Whole Foods, Why We Don't Drink Our Food (ok, I understand this, but I do like juicing), Why We Care About Calorie Density Why We Limit Protein (I wish non plant-based Dr's would read this), Why We Limit Salt, Sugar and fat, Why We Exercise.
They talk about batch cooking. Trust me this is a time saver. Take a Sunday or whatever day works best for you and cook a bunch of rice, beans or potatoes. Do you have an Instant Pot? If you don't, buy one, that's a life saver as well. (It cuts down your cooking time.)
They take the guess work out of what to have, what to buy with their handy grocery list. There's a 7 day meal plan. That's one of the things I love about this book.
The recipes are mainly bowls. Who doesn't love a good bowl? I know I do!! There's oatmeal bowls, waffles and pancakes for breakfast. For lunch there's salads- not just boring lettuce like you would feed your hamster, but filling satisfying salad's, flat's, pizza flats, and soups. For dinner there's hearty super bowls, burrito's, sloppy Joes, burgers, chili and so much more. They have some sauces and dips for your salad's, bowls etc . Seriously, like I said, they laid out everything for you. No guess work, and unlike some diets- this doesn't feel like one. You can eat!!
The only thing I would do over is I wish I had this book before I started The Seven Day Rescue. It's clear, it's simple, and it's easy. The hardest part is planning a shopping trip. If you are interested in improving your health or if your loved one is in need of a rescue- Please read this book. Try it; it's only for 7 days. That's a week. You have nothing to lose (ok you do like tossing and turning at night because you can't get a good night's sleep, bad sex, unhealthy hair, acne- I could go on, I won't though) but you have everything to gain- your health.
