Are there others out there doing the Eat to Live way? I just started my 6 weeks and wanted to see if there were others.

I personally am allergic to Dr. Oz.0

I didn't get this off Dr Oz....I don't watch Dr. Oz. My Breast Cancer Dr told me about it!0

It's endorsed by him.0

Now, but I've seen it, I think. It's a book, right? I think I saw it at Barnes & Noble.
I have my own, personal plan. What's Eat to Live say?0 -
I would avoid anything with the slogan " Fast and Sustainable weight loss"
This sounds like a very restrictive diet and one that probably is not sustainable (even though it claims to be). Why not just do the calories in calories out diet instead?0 -
A quick search brings up a website that looks like it's selling something Dr. Oz would endorse. So strike 1. If Dr. Oz really did endorse it I'd take it with a grain of salt...
although I'm sure Dr. Oz has already endorsed another diet involving taking grains of salt and has told people they'll lose 80lbs per week.0 -

I can't say as I'm familiar with whatever method of dieting this book is endorsing.
That said...weight loss & subsequent management is a lifelong journey. A good rule of thumb would be to pass on anything that focuses on "6 weeks" or "21 days" or a similar arbitrary timeframe.
Eat less calories than you burn (assuming weight loss is the goal). Eat mostly nutrient dense foods. Enjoy some treats occasionally. Get some exercise.
That's really all you need...no book necessary.0 -
Retrain your taste buds...reverse Food addiction...prevent cancer.
This is what this book is promoting. And lying about.0 -

Is it promising to cure cancer or did it point out that poor eating habits are linked to cancer?

Eat to Live -- written by Joel Fuhrman in 2004 or so -- focuses on portion control and eating a plant based diet 90% of the time.0

Didn't say cure, I said prevent. I didn't read the dreck far enough to learn more.0

I tried it once many moons ago. I think I hacked it for two whole days.

I'd listen to my doctor if I were you, because your doctor knows your situation. That said though, this looks like a very, very restricted diet. I personally would have a hard time giving up meat and diary.0

Your oncologist knows oncology though. I would be wary of looking to him for advice on non-cancer related weight loss.0

It has plenty of plant based fats-- olive, avocado, nuts, seeds,0

Breast cancer doctor =/= dietician.
I'd listen to my breast cancer doctor for proper treatment of breast cancer.
I wouldn't necessarily give their opinion on proper nutrition (or how to perform a root canal, or how to fit prescription eyeglasses) any more weight than the average joe on the street.0
