Book Report~Eat To Live

by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.

If you are tired of dieting but need to lose weight, this is the book for you.
You will not need to count calories.
If you eat nutrient rich foods, you will soon lose the cravings for foods that are bad for you.
Here's a quick look, but you should really read the book.

Eat raw vegetables(greens)-1 lb. a day.
Eat cooked vegetables(greens)-1 lb. a day.
Eat 3 or more fruits a day.
Eat at least 1 cup of beans a day.
Eat some grains, nuts, and seeds.

The more educated one is in this regard, the easier it will be to make wise choices.
I have two more of Dr. Furhman's books that I am reading now. I apologize ahead of time for not loaning these books out.

People who have followed his advice have experienced dramatic changes in their health.
Most people can go off their diabetic medications. Diseases have disappeared.

The following is the quick read on the back flap of his book cover.

"Dr. Joel Fuhrman's revolutionary diet is not about willpower, it is about knowledge.
Eat to Live offers a healthy, effective, and scientifically proven Six-Week Plan for shedding a radical amount of weight quickly. The key to the program's success is simple:
Health=nutrients:calories
When the ratio of nutrients to calories in the food you eat is high, fat melts away. The more nutrient-dense food you consume, the more you will be satisfied with fewer calories and the less you will crave fat and high-calorie foods.
Eat to Live will help you live longer, reduce your need for medications, and improve your overall health dramatically. It is a book that will change the way you want to eat. Most of all, though, Eat to Live will enable you to lose more weight than you ever thought possible."

Our family is in the process of learning more about eating in this way.
We have lost over 100 pounds this past year.
We still have alot to learn.
Old habits die hard, but feeling good is a great reward.
