Eat to LIve Dr. Fuhrman

He's selling a product. His basic formula is silly and his premise that people must make dramatic changes in order to accomplish anything is wrong.

Fuhrman rates up with there with Oz in my books...

Quack science in a nicely wrapped package you are required to purchase in order to "learn" from.

I borrowed the book from the library

QFT. Oz shills the supplement du jour and Fuhrman shills the PETA rhetoric

I like dr fuhrman, but I much prefer dr. John Mcdougall and his book/plan "the starch solution". It's much easier to follow, more practical, and much more satisfying. I believe in his overall premise of eating a plant based diet, but, as dr mcdougall points out, veggies as the center of your meal is tough to sustain. Just my two cents

I read Fuhrman's and found it very restrictive I never did take it "all the way." I'm 61 years old, according to the "wisdom" in the world, I need to lose 75 pounds as well. One of the things I have found is that whenever I go on a "diet" meaning a particular way of limiting food intake - I find that all I think about is food - what I CAN have, what I CAN'T have and I start labeling food as "good" and "bad" - saying things like "I really ate bad today." That kind of mentality. So all of this dieting stuff is something I want to get away from. I've read so many books on nutrition I could probably write a book myself - combine all of them and make a really good book!! Just take away from it what you can do and leave the rest behind. For me, it helped me get back to eating more greens - which is good. I did the vegan thing for a minute, but found myself getting so hungry (and bored with eating only vegetables) also when you eat vegan you need to make sure you're getting enough B12 so if you do the Fuhrman and don't eat "food with faces" please make sure you're getting enough B12. You can obtain this through vegan B12 supplements or a tastier way is through Nutritional Yeast - which is great sprinkled on salads.

Another good book

Going to seek this book out is what I meant - thanks

Hello, yes I have read it and tried it but failed in my 2nd day. I'm a carnivore and his restriction to eat only pure vegetables is nuts. I couldn't do it. It was hard for me. But if it did not work for me does not mean it won't work for you either. He has years of study to back up his book and he has shown success stories there, so maybe it's true, it won't hurt to try.

You don't eat just veggies Fruit, beans, whole grains, nuts etc are all part of the plan. And some meat/dairy is still allowed, it's just not the focal point of your meals anymore. It's definitely not a plan that will appeal to everyone, but I'm really enjoying it

My grandmother read it and tried it for about... two days. It's very labour intensive and she said it was the worst food she's ever tried. I'm STILL trying to use up some of the bs they had her buy. I've found uses for some of it, but what I'm going to do with ground hemp seed, I have no idea.

It's not a plan that caters to people who want to maintain lean body mass while losing weight, which should be every dieter.

Hi there. I did a little research and it looks like for those who have concerns about losing lean muscle mass (and not just body fat), that can be addressed by ensuring they wait until they're really hungry before eating, continuing to exercise, and adding more cooked greens and beans/legumes.

No, no, so much no.

Wait until you're really hungry? What kind of nutrition quackery is this?

It's the kind that can lead to headaches which will precede migraines. I lost weight like that because migraines make you nauseous and can last 3 days. If you can't eat from nausea and hurling, yeah you're gonna lose weight. But then you might gain it back when you are eating all willy nilly from being doped up because most people when they find you hurling your face off and screeching in pain and averting your eyes will take you to the ER and next it's psychedelic medicine time complete with take home meds....

"I'm sick BUT I'M PRETTY, Baybeh! and what it al comes down to, Yeahhhh
is that no one's really got it figured out just yet....." ...except they do. And they made a website about it. And it's free. And it has all the tools you need. And you don't starve. Or get headaches. Or buy special foods. Or give up the foods you like. And it works. And it has plenty of testimonials to that effect....if only I could remember the name?....

A neurologist told me that lacking vitamin B12 can give you headaches.

So it's a plant based diet with meat/dairy, I'd assume low fat? Sounds pretty healthy to me.
