Joel Fuhrman - Eat To Live

Your Plan for Substantial Weight Reduction

I attended one of Dr. Fuhrman's two-hour seminars and proceeded to

lose 120 pounds that year without ever being seen by him as a patient.

Accurate knowledge, not willpower, finally did it for me.

What I learned from Dr. Fuhrman is the very best thing that has hap-

pened in my life.

W

hat have we learned so far? First, eating foods with too few nu-

trients is bad for your health. Second, a large amount of animal

products in your diet correlates with a vast number of diseases. Last,

unrefined plant foods offer the best protection against disease. The

question is. How can we translate this data into a health program

that will help us achieve a healthy weight, maximize our well-being,

and let us enjoy meals at the same time? That is, in part, what the

rest of this book will answer. The first part of this chapter describes

exactly what I want you to do for the next six weeks of your life.

Then the rest of the chapter shows how you can incorporate these

principles into the rest of your life in a practical and sensible way —

the Life Plan — with more flexibility than the Six-Week-Plan. The

Life Plan will include both vegetarian and nonvegetarian options.
