Mended Hearts Open Forum

Hello to all, and happy holidays. I am 7.5 years past my widow maker heart attack. Five stents later, and a graduate of the Ornish lifestyles cardiac rehab. online course last year. I have been a vegan since my heart attack, and was a vegetarian prior to the event. Looking forward to hearing from others regarding Ornish or vegan lifestyle.

Hi Steve, Yes thanks-- the cardio rehab is going to be good.  I have only been once and it was very very mild exercise, hoping I can do more later.  I noticedthat you spoke of the Ornish lifestyle and diet.  I have looked online at some of his recipes and it looks like it would be far too much trouble and time consuming to keep up with.  And I would never be able to prepare and cook those things.  Does he have a simple cookbook with easy to prepare menus you could recommend?
