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 -

Maybe it could be paired with the Weigh Down diet plan and you can pray it off as well as reprogramming.-1

Its a book with a structured plan for a low carb diet. There's dozens of different low carb diet books out there ... ie its nothing special.
The same benefits can be accomplished by making your own reduced carb plan, ensuring a calorie deficit.
Switching from a TAD plan to a low carb plan, a good portion of your initial early losses will be from lowered water retention. If you switch back later, it will all come right back.
I dont own this book or follow this specific plan, but I have been lowering my carb intake over the last 9 months or so. There are multiple sources that report health benefits from eating low carb related to PCOS, GI, IR, etc.0 -

No, it's not low carb. In fact, it's vegan.0 -

Looks like you are right (and sounds kind of like Ornish): http://www.webmd.com/diet/eat-to-live-diet-review
What You Can Eat and What You Can't
In unlimited quantities, you may eat:
Raw veggies
Steamed or cooked green vegetables, eggplant, mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and more
Beans and other legumes
At least four fresh fruits per day, but no juice. You can have frozen fruit, but not canned. You can use dried fruit sparingly, as a sweet accent.
In limited quantities, you may eat:
1 cup per day of cooked starchy vegetables or whole grains (winter squash, corn, potatoes, rice, bread, cereal)
1 ounce per day of raw nuts and seeds
2 ounces per day of avocado (1/5 of a medium avocado is 1 ounce)
2 tablespoons per day of dried fruit
1 tablespoon per day of ground flaxseed
Off-limits:
Dairy products
Animal products
Snacks between meals
Fruit juice
Oils
Processed foods
Fuhrman says it’s best to avoid alcohol if possible, but you can have one drink a day if that will help you stay on the plan.0 -
I'm a vegetarian. I have nothing against vegan diets and respect vegans, but this?
Too much, too restrictive, not sustainable.
As for the claims with food addiction, phrases like "toxic hunger", and cancer? Those alone should be enough to send up red flags.0 -

^^^^^^^ Yes, this.

It's also offensive that someone thinks they have the answer to staving off cancer through a food plan that can be purchased. That's exactly what this guy is making people think. Granted, if you are naive enough to buy into it it's on you-but how can he sleep at night?0

My philosophy is: Eat to live and NOT Live to Eat as a way to control my weight. I am not a vegan or a vegetarian and according with lemurcat12 posting, that diet is waaaay to restrictive..Where is the beef (protein)?
