Milan Ross embraced a plant-based diet—and in the process, he lost more than 200 lbs. and found a passion for helping others
When Milan Ross couldn’t fit on a Harry Potter ride with his 7-year-old son, he knew he had to make some significant changes in his life. He weighed 480 lbs. and struggled to walk and stand. But things were about to shift for Ross— he decided to take part in a seven-day immersion program designed to help people transition to a natural, plant-based diet. That fateful week ended up transforming his body and his life. Today, Ross is almost unrecognizable after shedding 225 lbs. He follows a vegan diet and lectures across the country about his journey to health and happiness. He’s also coauthored two books with Scott Stoll, MD, who created the seven-day immersion program that Ross attended: The Change: Transforming Yourself and Your Body into the Person You Want to Be and The Change Cookbook. Here, he shares a favorite recipe from the new cookbook.
