Ornish is vegetarian, not vegan. They include eggs and dairy in their diet. You can make it vegan if you want, but you don't have to.

You are right, zoe. When I heard him speak in the 90's he was there for heart disease lectures. I had it in my fam so I went for that, and he was promoting only plant based diet, not even oil supplements, for those with heart disease. It was an extremely difficult program to follow from what I heard from friends who tried it. I see now he follows/recommends a vegetarian lifestyle, admitting he has occasional animal products. I have not kept up with him and should not have stated that without checking, note to self.

He is definitely managing to keep his weight down--but I'm pretty sure he has had some nip and tuck done.
Well, if he's eating according to ornish plus fish, then if he cut grains, he'd be in our paleo family. LOL
