Author Chloe Vargas grew up obese in a family that nurtured poor food choices.  In her book, she explains how she overcame this, not by following fad diets with unhealthy results, but by finding a diet she could stick with.  Over time, she learned why she was fat and what the contributing factors were, then she set about to change those factors.  She includes some of the information she learned in her own research, and even offers ten motivational tips to help keep a person on track on their personal weight loss journey.  The Engine 2 Diet is basically a vegan diet focusing on plant and whole food nutrition.  It also offers substitutions for animal protein.  One of the best parts of the book is the realistic look regarding exercise – no weight loss plan can be truly successful without including physical activity.  Ms. Vargas went from the lowest of the low to loving herself after achieving her weight loss goal.  If you are looking to making lifestyle changes in order to find a healthier you, this is definitely a book worth reading.
