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.
It's been more than two years since Art lost 52 pounds; he loves his new sense of physical and mental well being and encourages others to follow Eat To Live
I purchased Eat to Live on Sept. 23, 2013 as it was the text book required for a weekly healthy eating class in my community. I began to consume much more of a plant based diet (although I continued to eat sea food on occasion). I completely eliminated beef and chicken. And once I understood my addiction to sweets, eliminated artificial sweeteners, and radically reduced candy and cake consumption (once a week in small amounts at most).
I came to understand Dr. Fuhrman's philosophy that is not a temporary diet; this is for the rest of your life. Now I am beginning my third year, and besides the 52 pounds I lost, I feel better both mentally and physically. I have more energy and generally better endurance and a more positive outlook on life.
I know that if you can stick to with this program at least 90 percent and combine it with some form of physical movement on a regular basis, you will feel much better, generally improve your health and even possible help prevent possible diseases that you may develop in your lifetime. I know there are even many examples of disease reversals.
In my opinion very few can accomplish this change without support; I could not have done it without my support group and I still find that when I miss meetings I begin to slip. But the support can even be just one person who will work with you in a partnership. I tell people try to utilize whatever human resources that you have at your disposal.
Even though it is not easy it will be well worth it for you because nothing in your life is more important than your good feelings and health; no amount of wealth or possessions is more valuable. If you can accomplish this it would be the greatest gift you could ever give to yourself. Try your best to escape from the Standard American Diet. I wish all the best of luck and good health.
Results may vary.
