Dr. Fuhrman - Eat to Live
Good afternoon all, I've been doing some research on how to not eat so much red meat, fish and other processed food and came across Dr. Fuhrman. Has anybody heard of him or tried his eating plan of more plant based foods rather than processed? Any recommendations or success stories? Thanks Gary

How much protein per day

Best saying your mom ever said to you
Before my mom passed she would every now and again throw a zinger my way. She never swore at least around me, but when things got tough as a young man and I had to make a decision she would say, " Well son, it's time to S**T or get off the pot!" Truly a woman ahead of her time!
