The #1 New York Times bestseller answers: What if one simple change could save you from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer?

For decades, that question has fascinated a small circle of impassioned doctors and researchers—and now, their life-changing research is making headlines in the hit documentary Forks Over Knives. Their answer? Eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet—it could save your life.

It may overturn most of the diet advice you’ve heard—but the experts behind Forks Over Knives aren’t afraid to make waves. In his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn explained that eating meat, dairy, and oils injures the lining of our blood vessels, causing heart disease, heart attack, or stroke. In The China Study, Dr. Colin Campbell revealed how cancer and other diseases skyrocket when eating meat and dairy is the norm—and plummet when a traditional plant-based diet persists. And more and more experts are adding their voices to the cause: There is nothing else you can do for your health that can match the benefits of a plant-based diet.

Now, as Forks Over Knives is introducing more people than ever before to the plant-based way to health, this accessible guide provides the information you need to adopt and maintain a plant-based diet. Features include:

Insights from the luminaries behind the film—Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. John McDougall, The Engine 2 Diet author Rip Esselstyn, and many others
Success stories from converts to plant-based eating—like San’Dera Prude, who no longer needs to medicate her diabetes, has lost weight, and feels great!
The many benefits of a whole-foods, plant-based diet—for you, for animals and the environment, and for our future
A helpful primer on crafting a healthy diet rich in unprocessed fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, including tips on transitioning and essential kitchen tools
125 recipes from 25 champions of plant-based dining—from Blueberry Oat Breakfast Muffins and Sunny Orange Yam Bisque to Garlic Rosemary Polenta and Raspberry-Pear Crisp—delicious, healthy, and for every meal, every day.

Review

“A great resource for folks toying with the idea of transitioning to vegetarianism.”
—Carolyn Scott-Hamilton, in VegNews

“[A]n invaluable reference for anyone who still doesn’t believe that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is in fact the cause for a majority of our personal, global and moral devastation. Highly recommended.”
—This Dish is Veg

Just a cookbook, not a "book book"...Get the actual cookbook instead.

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

I liked the documentary, so I bought this book thinking it would add to what I learned. Nope, wrong.

I am returning this book because it isn't a BOOK, it's a *cookbook*. Yes, I realize it says right on the cover that it has 125 recipes, and yes, I did look at the preview. But I assumed this would be mostly BOOK plus recipes. What I got was no different than most other cookbooks I own. A cookbook with a little bit of extra information. The information was identical to the documentary, and the personal stories were scattered between the recipes.

I love Forks over Knives, but I'm choosing to return this because if you want a cookbook, why not pay a few extra bucks for the Forks over Knives cookbook that has 300 recipes? Makes more sense to me. But, I suppose this would be a good book to get someone who refuses to watch the documentary? Maybe.

Turn to page 101 for.....

Page 101: for the most nutritious meal ever known. Exxalus's Black Bean Soup. It stands alone as THE SINGLE MOST nutritious recipe you could ever make. It has everything! Put some hot sauce on it, or pepper sauce and it is perfect. For one thing I have never eaten chard before. Who has? But you will like it in this recipe. The film documentary changed our eating habits for good and you get the highlights in the beginning of this book. You almost don't need to see the documentary but you should. And we also have the large recipe only cookbook of the same name. We have both because we loved this documentary so much. Cutting out meat and dairy has made a tremendous difference in our lives. Also cutting out desserts and sodas as well. Weight loss comes pretty quickly and the long-term effects are indisputable. Why take a chance on your health? We do not deny ourselves one bit and totally enjoy our lifestyle. Of course we will have dessert on a special occasion, and maybe a soda once a month. But we keep them rare occurrences. As well as fish...this is where we digress from the book. We have fruit daily as our dessert and we are in no way lacking sweets. We have "infused" water with a splash of cranberry juice for an awesome drink that is not too sweet but has lots of fruit flavor. We drink this at home every day---it is our go to drink. Again, not lacking in any way. Cut out the sugar and cut out the red meat and cut out the dairy fat and your body can DIGEST food the right way. The other stuff just gets in the way of digesting your veggies which is where true nutrition is found. For this former voracious meat eater I didn't think I could survive on veggies, but with the right recipes I can. And the weight just stays off. Some great recipes in this book Easy Quesadillas p.82, Bean and Barley Chowder p.94, Zingy Italian White Bean soup p.96 and of course the go to Black Bean salad that stands alone, or as a side with another dish, or on top of your greens salad. p.105

Know someone who is sick - and is eating his/her protein to keep their body strong - they may need a change of diet

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018

This is the information I was praying for when I was 300 pounds and sick with Arthritis, Cancer, Diabetics, Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure., . Each of the major speakers in the DVD production address a major illness; and they are Medical Doctors who noted; invested their time; to discern that some people got better and some people did not get well followed a hunch and discovered how to stop certain diseases and how to reverse other diseases. To me it was a surprise - Yes our nation has special interest who advertise - and the truth is not always told. And a surprise to discover that animal do not make protein. Animals get their protein from green plants. Excess animal protein will make your body sick. Bruce

I have become a Forks Over Knives convert. This book is a great companion after watching the movie (very cheap on YouTube). My wife and I have cut back on eating meat drastically, and have found loads of veggie recipes that taste great to such a point that we really don't even miss the meat. And I grew up loving meat in all its forms.

At first I didn't understand the title, but once it was explained that using your fork to eat healthy foods is much better than going under the knife for surgery, it made sense. So many of my friends and co-workers eat a meat heavy diet, and yesterday we were told that one of them has to start immediate chemo after they found a very large cancerous tumor inside and outside his colon, and he is in his late 40s! In the book they talk about other parts of the world that eat mostly fruits and veggies (too poor for meat) and they have very low rates of cancer. If anyone ignores that warning, they are a fool.

Not the best recipe book

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is a best seller. I couldn't tell you why. Other than the fact that it explains why plant-based eating is best, the recipes look pretty blah and a lot of them use unusual ingredients not everyone would be able to get at their grocery store. So, I’m giving this book away and frankly annoyed so many people thought it was excellent.

I've just started plant-based vegan living.
We wanted the Netflix doc 'The Game Changer' and chose to get healthy for real.
As an ex Keto girl I needed to learn about this & how to proceed.
This is a good starter book. Easy to read & good recipes.
I still can't believe how much I'm loving being Vegan!!

This book Rocks

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2021

Pros: Forks over Knives is written in a style that I can relate to. The ingredients are well laid out and fully explains how to make all the recipes. Granted there is no way I can do all the recipes right now, but I can say that the Spinach Tofu Dip recipe is a hit. I spice it up a bit more because of lost taste due to cancer, but the basics are there and even introduces us to many new spices we may have not used as yet. Great book

Cons: None noted

Yes I'd buy this again and recommend it to a friend.

Very American centric, but in fairness I knew it would be. Just remember noodles = pasta/lasagne sheets, something called Nayonaise which is very difficult to get here, and the usual Tex Mex stuff they love over there, but veganised. Most of the recipes are easy, but - and for me this is big - NO PHOTOS. That's right, none at all - except of some important people in the 'Forks over Knives' world. So you have to use your imagination or go online to get an idea of what the recipes look like beforehand.

Invaluable advice/facts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book explains exactly the benefits of a whole food, plant-based diet. Based on Research and testimonials of actual patients it is hard to argue with the evidence. Receipes are excellent, but you have to check carefully how many they are cooking for - some receipes are for 6 people. Companion to the documentary of the same name, the 2 together give a complete guide on how to change your diet at your own pace and how to make sure you include all the right food groups to ensure you are not missing out on any dietary needs. Highly recommend.

We'd seen the programme and I wanted to get a cook book to compliment the programme. there were some really good recipes in there but half of the book is taken up with antidotes from the programme which i wasn't interested in as i would have preferred more recipes and thought that was what i was buying.
