Product DescriptionWhen Mehmet Oz or any of New York's leading doctors has a patient whose life depends on losing weight, they call on Joel Fuhrman, M.D. In EAT TO LIVE, Dr. Fuhrman offers his healthy, effective, and scientifically proven plan for shedding radical amounts of weight quickly, and keeping it off.Losing weight under Dr. Fuhrman's plan is not about willpower, it is about knowledge. The key to this revolutionary diet is the idea of nutrient density, as expressed by the simple formula Health=Nutrients/Calories. When the ratio of nutrients to calories is high, fat melts away and health is restored. Losing 20 pounds in two to three weeks is just the beginning. The more high-nutrient food Dr. Fuhrman's patients consume, the more they are satisfied with fewer calories, and the less they crave fat and high-calorie foods. Designed for people who must lose 50 pounds or more in a hurry, EAT TO LIVE works for every dieter, even those who want to lose as little as 10 pounds quickly. No willpower required-just knowledge!

Rating: - If you can do it, you WILL lose weight
I'll join the chorus of authorities that guarantee that you will lose weight if you follow Dr. Fuhrman's advice in this utterly convincing book. The only problem is that most people can't follow his advice. This is mainly because they have been so indoctrinated by special interests (big agriculture, the fast food industry, the processed food industry, and unfortunately the United States Department of Agriculture that is headed by people from or going to those industries) that they are unable to ...

Rating: - Eating Matters!
This book challenges the modern medical views that our health answers arise from pharmaceuticals. Fuhrman discusses several major chronic degenerative diseases and how processed foods play a part in their development. He also includes some recipes that are quite tasty - once you have weaned yourself off of processed food. Just try eliminating refined sugars and flours for a few weeks and see how you do. If you are anything like me, you'll be quite shocked at your physical symptoms as you go through ... Read More
Rating: - Eat to Live
This is the most ridiculous book I've ever read. Don't buy it unless you are ready to reduce your food intake to almost none. It is for extremists. I discarded this book the same day it arrived. I don't recommend it.
Rating: - Life changing
I have not yet finished the book yet, but it is amazing.
My taste buds are changing and I'm eating healthier.
The thing I love about this book is he doesnt say to go on a diet.
He simply explains how we all need to just eat healthier.
Not only does this book provide some great recipes, but Dr. Fuhrman provides some great statistical data as well as what the obesity epidemic is doing to america. I would recommend this book to anyone!
Rating: - success
This was such an easy diet to follow. I lost (and continue to lose) 2 pounds a week and I feel great. This book goes wonderfully with Dr. Ornish's book, and lots of people that use this book also use some Ornish stuff.
