Hailed a "medical breakthrough" by Dr. Mehmet Oz, EAT TO LIVE offers a highly effective, scientifically proven way to lose weight quickly. The key to Dr. Joel Fuhrman's revolutionary six-week plan is simple: health = nutrients / calories. When the ratio of nutrients to calories in the food you eat is high, you lose weight. The more nutrient-dense food you eat, the less you crave fat, sweets, and high-caloric foods.
EAT TO LIVE has been revised to include inspiring success stories from people who have used the program to lose shockingly large amounts of weight and recover from life-threatening illnesses; Dr. Fuhrman's nutrient density index; up-to-date scientific research supporting the principles behind Dr. Fuhrman's plan; new recipes and meal ideas; and much more. This easy-to-follow, nutritionally sound diet can help anyone shed pounds quickly-and keep them off.
Joel Fuhrman, MD, is a board-certified family physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. His other books include Eat for Health and Disease-Proof Your Child. He lives and maintains a private practice in Flemington, New Jersey.
The main idea in this diet plan is to eat two huge salads (one head of lettuce per day) packed with vegetables, beans and fruit, and avoiding all dairy, meat and eggs. I found that when I eliminated animal protein I was hungry all day long and I just did not feel satisfied on vegetables and fruit. Even if you are unable to follow this strict regimen, at least increasing your fruit and vegetable intake on a daily basis goes a long way in improving your overall health. Plus, there are some pretty good healthful recipes included.
If everyone in the world could read this book, "and follow most of its advice", we all would have very different eating habits, the world would have a lot less diseases, and the health care industry would be "a lot smaller"!!!! Dave
After seeing Dr. Fuhrman on PBS and getting the book at the library I wanted my own copy. If you are serious about a lifestyle change this could be it. But I do mean serious, I thought I was a healthy eater and after following the suggestions in this book I noticed an immediate change, I didn't have much to lose but several pounds just fell off and I feel terrific. Yes it does take some work and it's not easy but if you can do the first six weeks like to book says I think you will see an amazing change. It's definately a lifestyle change but I have to say in my case it's been great.
Loved the book. A common sense approach to eating with insight into the poor diet most of us adopted from outdated US FDA recommendations. After reading this book, I've made many changes to my family's diet including stocking the house with all kinds of fruits, vegtables and nuts and continue to decrease our meat and dairy consumption. Our goal is to reduce disease and premature aging. Full of good information.
dry reading at times, but on the overall informative. I tried diet for 3 days and got a headache from no meat...didn't realize it is a vegatarian diet. Still it was educational reading, not sorry I did.
I originally bought this book for myself and have now bought it for many family and friends. It goes really well with the cookbook, "Power Foods" although the cookbook is not as hard core as the Fuhrman diet- I do modify the recipes a bit to keep them really healthy. Hopefully you will read it and change your life for the better.
A great book. I highly recommend it. I have given copies of it to my kids as gifts
i am totally very happy with your service and my new book. I will continue to buy things. Also refer friends to you.
