When Mehmet Oz or any of New York's leading doctors has a patient whose life depends on losing weight, they call on Joel Fuhrman, M.D. In EAT TO LIVE, Dr. Fuhrman offers his healthy, effective, and scientifically proven plan for shedding radical amounts of weight quickly, and keeping it off.Losing weight under Dr. Fuhrman's plan is not about willpower, it is about knowledge. The key to this revolutionary diet is the idea of nutrient density, as expressed by the simple formula Health=Nutrients/Calories. When the ratio of nutrients to calories is high, fat melts away and health is restored. Losing 20 pounds in two to three weeks is just the beginning. The more high-nutrient food Dr. Fuhrman's patients consume, the more they are satisfied with fewer calories, and the less they crave fat and high-calorie foods. Designed for people who must lose 50 pounds or more in a hurry, EAT TO LIVE works for every dieter, even those who want to lose as little as 10 pounds quickly. No willpower required-just knowledge!
Joel Furhman is a physician and former Olympic skater. The ideas in his book are common sense and practical ... and surprisingly easy to follow.
Weight loss, disease prevention, health ... they can all be found in a nutrient dense, plant based diet, according to Furhman. I'd have to agree. I read this book a couple years ago and, following the advice, I lost about 25 lbs in a couple months.
This is one of those books I love to loan out to friends. Some people don't want to hear about a plant based diet, even if they are having a great deal of health trouble. But for those to are open to a plant based diet, this has been really well received. My mother in law lost 30 lbs, and I've had friends lose anywhere between 10 and 50 lbs follow the lifestyle advice in this book.
I think it's a great resource. If one follows Furhman's program, improved health seems almost guaranteed.
