Hi Guys- I was glad to see this is a group. While I have read the book twice now, I didn't realize he had specific caloric guidelines- what are they for females? I know his weight range which is lower then the typical range etc.

Hi, my name is Sandy and I read Eat to Live a few years back. I would like to see Dr. Fuhrman's alternate recommendations about protein, fat, fiber and carbs. I seem to remember that he felt that protein was overrated by many eating plans, and now more than ever I see a lot of focus on protein for health.

Just searched the topic and found you all! Great! Hard to find a few months back = D I saw Dr. F. on PBS in September, read ETL by October and currently using Eat for Health to guide me. Feel so much better and am used to no salt and no oil now. Looking forward to sharing recipes. Do feel free to friend me as I'd love a growing ETL support group. I am looking to be in the 90% vegan group. I'm not a fan of processed foods, although for good or bad I do use things occasionally like Thai green chili paste, etc. for extra flavor. I'm a huge fan of the blended salads for lunch and the spinach, chocolate, banana, berry smoothie for breakfast! I expect to do better and better as time goes by! So excited to see all of you here!

Hi all, I'm Heather and I just started on E2L a couple of weeks ago. I'm pretty happy with this plan as that I love fruit and veggies and was vegan for many years until an obesity specialist told me to eat more protein. I did lose weight on his plan, but I felt like an airhead and was hungry all of the time Although it was very low cal, after several months I started to regain weight despite exercising and restricting calories. My naturopath said my body was in shock(starvation mode) and was holding on to every calorie since I had underfed it for so long. I am hopeful and optimistic that following this new, healthy plan will be my way to fitness and health. I look forward to learning and sharing advice, experiences and recipies with you all.

I started ETL Iin June 2012 by accident. Just blindly jumped in. Read his book many times, it's on my iPad and I refer to it daily, along with the china study, super immunity, and unprocessed by Chef AJ. is only been 10 weeks for me, and more than loosing the weight )I look at that as a side effect) I feel sooooo much better. Off all meds, except vit D and B12. Looking forward to traveling this journey, and ending it with a awesome quality of life....wow as I type that...did I say ending my life? I guess I did....Husband keeps telling me we are all going to die....and I keep telling him, it's not the dying that is the point here...it's the quality of life I am after....funny seeing it in words...

You can change those absurd dietary recommendations? Awesome! I am a little embarrassed to ask, but I can't be the only one who has been looking for a way to change MFB's settings on that. Help!
