Publisher 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!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this new edition, which incorporates the latest scientific nutritional data, Fuhrman's restrictive diet plan is designed for clinically overweight people who suffer from a spectrum of lifestyle/obesity-induced conditions like diabetes and heart disease and need to drop a significant amount of weight fast about 20 pounds in the first six weeks. The basis of Fuhrman's program is Nutrient Density, expressed by the simple formula health equals nutrients divided by calories. Fuhrman's "secret" to optimum health and permanent weight control is giving the body only what it needs. An aggressive six-week vegetarian plan segues into a regimen that includes a limited amount of animal products, like lean fish or egg whites once a week. Although proven and sound, this guidebook is not for someone who wants to lose those last 10 pounds or fit into her wedding dress; this is a serious undertaking for dieters whose umpteen previous efforts have failed and whose health is endangered.

Inspiring and informative. Well worth reading and learning!
it's not just another 'diet' book -- it's about healthy eating
This book has literally changed my life.
Yes, I lost weight following Dr. Fuhrman's meal plans, but more important is how healthy I feel every day.
I had acid reflux for 4 years, and all the doctors could do is prescribe pills that don't really work (yet have terrible side effects), but now my acid reflux is completely gone. After about 2 weeks into the diet it disappeared and I haven't had it since (a few months now). I don't have acid reflux any more.
There are a million diet books out there with mixed results, but this book is the real deal, because it's not about going on a temporary, fad diet (though which people typically lose a few pounds and then gain more afterward) -- it's about changing your eating habits for the better for a lifetime. And it works.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
Simply the best…
I am a geek when it comes to learning about health. The concepts and principles laid out in this book are the most powerful and logical I have come across.
