Bill Clinton's Heart Disease and Weight Loss Diet


by Anita SK Cheung

Bill Clinton recently made news headlines, not with his politics but with his shrunken waistline. He said thanks to a plant based diet made up of beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits, he's feeling better than ever before. "Almond milk" has taken the place of dairy milk. And he referred to taking protein powder with fresh berries.

He said he is back to his high school weight and lost 24 pounds in time for his daughter Chelsea's wedding and the whole family is very proud. But he was most impressed in how his whole metabolism has changed and he said he made the dramatic change because he wants to be around to see his grandchildren. As he understood his previous by-pass operations did not give him the security of his heart disease not returning. Another source said he was also doing it to prevent prostate cancer from relapsing.

Chelsea who allegedly had a mostly raw vegan wedding (and a wedding cake free of gluten and sugar) must have inspired her father who used to love fast food (and was public about it) to make this change. And Clinton said he has done his own research as well.

The doctors he referred to are Dr. Dean Ornish (mentioned in the film ' Food Matters') and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Dr. Esselstyn urges to avoid "anything with a mother and a face" in his diet. Both of them referred to by-pass surgery and typical medical solutions to diseases as ineffective, and that a wholesome plant based diet and healthy lifestyle is a lot more effective, not just for reversing heart diseases but most other chronic diseases. I like how they say this kind of diet also promotes a better SEXlife which I am sure gets people's attention! (Remember Morgan Spurlock from Supersize Me who became impotent half way through his McDonald's experience?)

I don't agree with the "no oils"-very dangerous advice.Also I think small amounts of ORGANIC meats and fish are good for us.

I agree Karen, oils are super important, especially for heart disease. Also small amount of organic animal products do play a part in healthy traditional diets (cultured dairy, eggs, fish, etc..)

Just to throw out the obvious... legumes include peanuts... which have oil in them. There are still ways to incorporate all the essentials while avoiding animal products. I wish I could run with this diet for my family, but my hubby is dead set against going without meats. What a shame for him. Doesn't mean I have to toxify my body though. :)

I really agreed with vegan diet. It also helped me very much. I used to take my maintenance - synthetic medicine for the past four years but when i started to have my vegan diet, I surrendered all my maintenance for diabetic and high blood pressure. If some people can have the "natural healing".. of course all of us can do it.. if you wish too with political will and God's grace!

Loved this article. If a hard core meat eater and fast food junkie like Bill Clinton can switch, no reason why anyone else cant'!

I've been vegetarian all my life (48 years) with no ill effects - I'm 5'10", 185 lbs, run 20 miles a week, have done two half-marathons, gym regularly, and generally all systems in perfect working order.

"I need meat" is a myth that has been created and actively promoted by the meat industry lobby. Same with milk and dairy products.

Currently I eat a lot of low-fat natural home-made yogurt (un-flavoured, un-sweetened), but Isoon plan to gradually phase out all dairy products from my diet. I will replace the calcium source with an increased intake of nuts.

I would like to know if the vegetables are genetically modified????The way the FDA is manipulating the laws in favour of the GE movement then YES I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!

Just changing to be vegetarian and reducing weight is a tip of the ice berg. I being 75 years old have been there done that with almost similar health issues what Bill Clinton is faced with. Therefore, I strongly suggest to him to find a source to detoxify, rejuvenate and turn the clock back as much as possible to stop taking all the synthetic medications like I did. I am a living proof backed by the lab tests proving that I am NOT taking any conventional medications any more. My blood sugar, cholestrol, blood pressure are well within the range as per my PCP.

I agree with Fenua, We need to know if the are GMO vegetable included in Clinton's diet, we know that he is an advocate of the GMO industry. The problem is not most meat and dairy the problem lays in the ingredients, like the trans fat in so many products,
the added hormones plus antibiotics that they treat the cows and chickens with and the Infamous Monsato company that continues to promote and add MSG, HIgh fructose and such to our foods. In summary the problem is not the meat and most foods it is what the
put into these foods that is hurting and killing most Americans....Shame on them.

Someone should tell Bill Clinton to go talk to Dr Barry Sears as well.
