Product ReviewsEat to Live : The Amazing Nutrient-Rich Program for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss, Revised Edition by Joel Fuhrman (2011, Trade Paperback, Revised edition)

If You Eat Food, you should read this book

I had read an earlier version of this book. This one is even better. Using his formula I had lost 15 pounds (got rid of my small but excessive belly) easily and have kept it off for years. This is a eating plan for one's life and it works and makes perfect sense. I have read many books on healthy eating, this one brings it all together and documents it in scientific terms. This is the best book for health and appropriate book I have ever read. It's a must read book if you're interested in health and well being.Read full review...

Good ideas, but a bit of overkill

The book was recommended by a close friend, who had a family member with cancer... A regimen similar to the one in this book helped him tremendously... There is a lot of good information here, but recommending people eat only veggies and fruits and most of them raw would not provide enough working fuel for very active people... We require meats as well...
The book is a little dry, but all in all, not a bad read.Read full review...

Get it!

My husband and I are 75. Both are loosing weight and enjoying it. I have been a vegetarian for 48 years but not vegan. Have learned so much about the "whys" of omitting processed foods and dairy. We are definitely label readers now and can't believe how much "bad" ingredients are added to everything in a box, can, or package. I have ordered a dozen of these books to give away. I want to live my remaining years as healthy as I can. This book has changed our lives!Read full review...

2 out of 3

I ordered 3 to give to my children, 2 out of 3 were good, one of them had a lot of underlines which I had to erase most of them, but a couple of pages were in ink, so I had to leave it. But other then that, this is such a good book with lots of information. When I first bought the book, I couldn't hardly put it down.
Now after about a year, I'm re-reading it again.Read full review...

Ultimate diet for your best health

Low on animal protein, high on vegetables, raw and cooked, Dr Fuhrman calls this the beans and greens diet and he's right. If you love a good salad and cooked vegetable stews and soups and are willing to change old food habits for a few weeks to see your health improve dramatically then rush for a copy of this book.
Yes, it's close to being a vegan diet. That said, I don't mind setting aside my carnivore preferences now that I have seen blood pressure and fasting glucose levels steadily falling for the past month.
This book is full of the facts that point the way to the vegetable bases of the diet.
Hats off to Dr. Fuhrman for a diet that lowers BP, sugar, weight, and increases the odds of extra years.Read full review...

Excellant book!

This is the best book on how to get super healthy and get rid of health problems you might have. I'm not talking just losing some weight, that is just a given. I have a very extensive nutritional library, collected over the last 30 years, and this book is the only one that I have bought more copies of just so I could loan them out. You can get rid of some serious health problems by reading and following the instructions in the book. I did, high blood pressure, diabetes, arterial plaque, and high chlorestral. The weight also came off, 157, down to 145, in just under two months. I recommend this book to everyone, even if you think you're already healthy. Had I got this book a year earlier I would not have had to go through a very dangerous operation.---- Rev JohnRead full review...

great book, easy reading

with some unfavorable labs at a recent check up I was at a loss as to how to proceed ...picked up at least 10 books just to get some flavor...this one was the winner by a long shot...while I am unlikely to follow this to the letter.... a very eye opening, motivating and clear path to food heath and longevity that is backed with easy to digest (haha) science...actually got my copy at our local used book store and liked it so much that I purchased 2 copies for friends....great book, easy read, highly recommended Read full review...
