Loading... Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Lossby Joel Fuhrman
None. Lots of information on and motivation for going vegetarian/vegan in this book! Definitely something to work toward for my health! ( )I read this book with my grocery list in hand, can't wait to have this approach in mind as I plan meals for the next few weeks. This will be a completely different spin on food choices (from South Beach, etc.) and I'm looking forward to seeing the impact. While I liked most of the information and I do think that it is fairly accurate I also think that the good Doctor is pushing a Vegan Lifestyle which may or may not be for everyone we will see how it works after 6 weeks Whether you're trying to lose weight or eat in a healthier way, it's hard to argue with the basic concept of this book - the food you mostly eat should have a high nutrient-to-calorie ratio, and mostly eliminate empty calories. While you may not be ready to go all-out on his plan, there is still much to think about and a lot of ways to make more minor changes. I like the concept behind the eating plan in this book, but I found the book itself longer than necessary. I heard the "one pound raw, one pound cooked" daily recommendation for vegetable consumption years ago and have been gradually attempting to modify my diet accordingly for some time. This book helped me to better conceptualize just how I could eat this much plant matter each day. It also helped me recognize that what I'd always considered "hunger" or even "hypoglycemia" was nothing of the sort. And I'm enjoying the recipes, especially the smoothies (but not so much the romaine/cashew butter/banana wraps). I just think a pocket guide would be sufficient to get the ideas across, especially since I'm not persuaded to make major dietary changes based on "before" and "after" pictures. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316735507, Paperback)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.(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:43:41 -0500) A weight-loss plan for patients whose lives depend on losing weight introduces the idea of nutrient density as a means of reducing food cravings and the consumption of high-calorie foods. |
