Description
When Mehmet O or any of New York's leading doctors have 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 will power, 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!

5By RazorBackRoarThis book really changed my life. It really is the most phenomenal weight lost book. Combine this with the book eat stop eat and you’ll be healthy in no time. I hope to meet the author one day.Not impressed
1By V_isaDA lot of time spent preaching and reiterating, this book can be written in one chapter. Anyone that recommends Mrs.Dash seasoning is an idiot in my opinion.Eat to Live
5By Acevedo 2Thank you so much for the knowledge in your book. I am extremely overweight and suffer from many of the ills listed. My daughter is on board with the eating plan. She is a young adult but on her way to poor health due to being overweight. My husband has many ills also but at this point wants to continue the poor eating habits. I am LDS (Mormon) and we have The Word of Wisdom. (D&C Section 89) That tells us how to have a healthy body. It is very similar to your guidelines. Thank you againLost 12 pounds in a week.
5By Frankdet5Must read. This book has motivated me to eat better and live a healthy life. I am looking forward to sticking with the program. Shedding pounds helps to show that this eating style works. Easy to read and just check out all the research done at the end of this book......
2By Chaleeeeeeee,The only way to "Eat To Live" with these recipes is if you starve the rest of your family or make a doctors salary. I bought almost all the ingredients for the Anti Cancer Soup and it cost me like $50. Wanna go organic? Try about $60-70. That will be the most expensive bowl of soup I ever ate. It better cure everything!! :-)What a great read!
5By winn9524The book was wonderful and full of nutritional sense that the average American doesn’t understand. We are spiraling out of control with our health and most of us have no idea why or how to correct our actions. There is so much misrepresentation in our society about nutrition. Dr. Fuhrman’s book will show you the way. The facts are there.Hola
3By Vince1986Hey, let's be honest this book sells the diet in the chapters. You feel committed and excited to try out Dr. Fuhrman's advice. Then Chapter 8 hits, and the manuscript layers on the surprise ending -a hell of a harsh dieting regimen. Close to no dairy or meats and eating tons of fresh vegetables and fruits in order to achieve dieting results are dynamics that aren't shocking. Practically becoming a vegetarian will make anyone lose weight. I just finished the book, and I will make an effort to let the information make tracks in my life, but eating close to no meat and dairy will be extremely harsh for me.Vegan
4By truly youI bought this book because I was sick and tired of feeling and being unhealthy. This book was a tremendous help in beginning a new lifestyle and approach to eating. After an adjustment of a few days, I feel much better and eating healthier is doable. My only complaint is that I wish the book had more recipes. If you are ready for a healthier lifestyle, this book will help you begin.Eat to Live
5By 123teachabcLoved this book. So much sound information. My goal was to eat healthier for longevity. I dropped 10 pounds without trying. I feel so much better!!Deceiving
1By Health-eThis book is a vegan bible. If you are not looking to be converted, don't bother. I feel deceived by the intro to the book. I would never have purchased if I knew that the entire book was meat-bashing vegan-pushing rhetoric.diet
5By JCJ84to the person who said this is a diet that you lose weight fast and gain it back just as fast....this is not a diet as in a temporary thing you do to lose weight. this is a lifestyle change in your diet. the word diet just means food that you eat. the word diet does not mean weight loss program. if you are looking for a diet program that will help you lose weight fast and not gain it back even when you go back to eating fast food, processed foods, and whatever else is detrimental to your body that does not exist! if you want to lose weight AND keep it off you have to change the way you eat for the rest of your life.terrible
1By Beth CiskeThis is not a good diet, it is just like atkins that you lose it fast and gain it back just as fast..I've read every diet book-this is life changing
5By TeamselineThere were so many eye opening facts in this book- 100 calories of steak vs broccoli, broccoli has more protein! I have been vegan for 10 days, down 4 lbs and feeling better then I have ever felt. I am already a slim 120, but after so many friends getting breast cancer who seemed to be the picture of health, I wanted to know what I could do to help protect myself and my family. It might be to late to change my fate but my kids are now eating a ton more vegetables and I feel more informed about the choices I should be making.Teacher
1By Noname567890What a crock of vegan baloney.Eat to Live
3By LALawlassGood information, but a hard regime to follow for long periods of time.Eat to Live
4By DrlingWell documented and inspiring. Only criticism is the emphasis on no saturated fats. The author does clarify on this in one section in the book, but leaves the impression that fats in general is bad when in fact, fats like from coconut oil is not only safe but healthy and needed in our diets for proper nerve and cellular function and cellular and tissue repair. It is important to emphasize which fats, its source and how much is appropriate for people to consume. It is dangerous to say no to fats. Other than this, i would definitely recommend this book as a starting point on how to eat healthfully.Great!!!!
5By Kulona_68It's amazing!!!!Permanent Solution
5By LatcatinThis book has changed my life. I'm down 25 pounds, improved all of my stats, and feel better than I did 20 years ago.
