The winner of our giveaway and Friday Recipe Round-up!

by September 08, 2011

We know a lot of you are going through a lot right now, it has been a tough week here in Austin with all of the fires, and we are also thinking about our friends battling floods on the East Coast! Please stay safe, and know the Engine 2 Family is thinking about all of you out there!

We want to thank Lindsay from The Happy Herbivore for talking with us yesterday! We loved all of your responses, and wish we could give everyone a cookbook! Sadly there can only be one winner. Through a random pick, the winner is……

The third comment was Carrie! She said “Food IS medicine. I’m a health professional living well with type 1 diabetes and believe strongly in the power of food. I would love to learn more about delicious plant based recipes and would be able to share them with my patients at the hospital. It would be the perfect resource to encourage myself and others to pick up the fork instead of the knife. :-)“

Congratulations Carrie! And to everyone else, we are doing a giveaway every week during the month of September! Follow Engine 2 on FB and Rip and follow us on twitter @engine2diet !

    You know, there’s several things I don’t get, first of all fat makes us slim, carbs make us fat. Cereals create an insulin response that ends with body fat, so do fruits,now take oils, fats, they instantly fire up our metabolism which lasts over a day, hence slimming. I can understand your desire for vegetarianism, I’m a diabetic, I’ve been raw since 2002, what I do now works for me, you cook most things, robbing yourself of lots of nutrients, why don’t you spend a little time discovering the damage food additives do? MSG for starts, this addictive poison has been around since 1909, inducing use to eat more than we should, hence obesity .what does it matter that olive oil is processed or not, it’s a small things compared to the problems of Fukashima, it wish Americans the best on that nightmare.

      Jack, we suggest reading the book “Dr. Neal Barnards Program for Reversing Diabetes”

      We do not recommend highly processed foods like foods with MSG. We have had 1000′s of people now reverse diabetes by adopting a low fat plant-based diet that consists of whole grains/beans/vegetables and grains.
