    I'd like to try 6 weeks of this, starting Jan. 2 (daily):

    • 1 Tbsp flaxseed
    • 1 cup legumes: chickpeas, black beans, lentils, kidney beans, cannellini beans, white beans, navy beans
    • 4+ fresh fruit: apples, bananas, berries, grapes, mango, melon, oranges, peaches, pears, pineapple, kiwi
    • 1 lb raw veg: Kale, chard, romaine, green pepper, frozen peas, cucumber, sprouts
    • 1 lb cooked veg: broccoli, zucchini, Brussels sprout, escarole, spinach, onion, mushroom, cauliflower,..
    • 0-2 oz avocado
    • 0-1 cup starch: butternut squash, brown/wild rice, cooked carrot, sweet potato, barley

    Anyone interested in joining me?
    What is the source of this list?

    it is from fuhrmans website..http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/what-is-a-nutritarian-diet.aspx < that is his list for being nutritarian ...whatever the hell that is...?
    I don't see that list as a set of what to eat there. And when I google it, it only leads here.
    My point: I don't see his website saying: eat this, only this and lose weight.

    His position on food - if you take the general framework of focusing on micronutrient rich food is sound. His detailed position on diseases in particular cardiovascular and cancer is bull pucks. The guys makes his money pushing supplements from his own shop.

    If all you had to do to preserve lean body mass while at a deficit was wait until you are really really hungry to eat there wouldn't be much gyms around and everyone would look good naked...

    I didn't say I found him reasonable, per se. I said a plant based diet with lean meats and low fat dairy was reasonable. It is. My point in stating that was: you don't need some fancy guy's website. Just eat a whole food, plant based diet with lean meats (if you want em) and (low fat) dairy. Again, if that's what he proposes. No idea. And that's why I asked where the list came from. I didn't see it on his website, and it seems rather arbitrary as THE plants to eat. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks. When I google a chunk of the list it always comes back here. Weird. They are all good foods, add some protein and whatnot and it's not bad at all. Just wondered why THOSE foods win. Thanks for this post.

    Thanks. That's a much broader list isn't it? And that list says to limit flax seeds.
    It does talk about six weeks though.

    Hi, thumb brower47. It would be helpful for me to see any studies showing eating a plant-based whole food diet contributes to loss of lean body mass while losing weight – thanks. To me, not eating until you’re hungry sounds sensible, but again if there’s research out there to indicate it’s not, it would help me to see it. Much appreciated!

    Hi, ILiftHeavyAcr. I’m no scientist, but pp. 319-364 of the edition I have of Eat to Live is all references to peer-reviewed studies, if that helps. In the ETL approach, you get all your protein from plant sources (e.g. beans) given the evidence linking animal protein with cancers, heart disease, etc. (When I came across people like those profiled at veganbodybuilding.com, that helped convince me. )

    Hi, MyChocolateDi. The first time I tried this program I did have brief headaches for a few days. Fortunately they did not trigger a migraine, which I too have a propensity for getting. My headaches really didn’t surprise me when I considered that my body was “moving out” the aftermath of all the poor-quality food I’d been eating beforehand! But as you suggested, this approach may not be reasonable for everyone.

    Yeah, it's broader. I still don't care for plans that divide foods into good and bad categories. And I think this plan would be seriously low in protein.

    So I'll ask again. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT LIST? Why, of all the foods on Furhman's diet did you choose that small list to post when asking us to "join you"?

    ps: I eat a whole foods, plant based diet (with meat and dairy).

    SHE is right here and you can ask me directly. This would be my version of the 6-week plan.
