Many individuals who follow the Nutritarian diet write to Dr. Fuhrman about their success. Keep in mind that results vary from person to person. As always, consult your physician if you have a medical history and/or condition that may warrant individual recommendations.
Linda lost 34 pounds by beating her addiction to chocolate and junk food
I have gained and lost weight several times in my adult years. Most recently, after losing my job, I hit an all-time high of 176.6 pounds and was addicted to chocolate and junk food. Our church held a health fair and one of the groups talked about a book by Dr. Joel Fuhrman called Eat To Live. I thought I should give it a try and started to read the book. At first the program seemed impossible to do. I began eating healthy slowly. The weight started to come off. The first week I lost 6 pounds. After that I lost between 1/2 to 1 1/2 pounds a week.
At this point I have lost 34 pounds. The biggest thing is that I am no longer addicted to chocolate. I like eating healthy and want to continue to learn to eat high-nutrient food. I think of myself as a follower of the Nutritarian program. I now have the energy to exercise. I know that I cannot go back to the way I was eating and need to continue to eat this way for the rest of my life. I don't want to be plagued with disease as I grow older, and want to continue to improve in every way.
