Robert Kowalski's personal story is legendary. He suffered a heart attack and had two coronary bypass operations by the age of forty-one. Faced with the unpleasant alternatives of drugs or severe dietary modification, Kowalski created this program that has proved astonishingly effective. To this day, Kowalski has beaten heart disease by practising what he preaches. He requires no prescription drugs, lives an unlimited and vigorous lifestyle, enjoys foods such as steak and eggs, and has been given a clean bill of health by his doctor.
