EAT TO LIVE
“Finally, a diet book that looks at the science of eating in an accurate fashion. Most diet books have little basis in proven physiology. Dr. Fuhrman’s book
Eat to Live
deals with why we gain weight, how to lose weight, and how to stay thin and healthy for life, and he backs it up with real scientific data. All the controversy ends after you read this book. It will be the final word in diet books and the one I recommend to my patients.”
—Thomas Davenport, M.D., Massachusetts General Hospital
“Dr. Fuhrman’s
Eat to Live
presents a compelling, scientific, practical approach to weight loss, health, and vitality that is a refreshing alternative to the plethora of popular but largely ineffective diets and weight-loss methods. For those who want to make dietary changes that will enable them to enjoy optimum health and appearance, this book is a must.”
—James Craner, M.D., M.P.H., Occupational and Environmental
Medicine, University of Nevada School of Medicine
“
Eat to Live
is a comprehensive, valuable, scientifically focused contribution empowering nutrition knowledge and a healthier life.”
—Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr., M.D., Preventive Cardiology
Consultant, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio
“Dr. Fuhrman’s new book gives us the nutritional road map to optimum health. His information is painstakingly researched and supported, yet he presents the results with an easy-to-follow style. He honestly states the facts and educates us to make the food choices that will help us overcome disease and regain health. This book marks the beginning of a genuine, scientifically based health revolution.”
—Mark Epstein, President, National Health Association
“Dr. Fuhrman’s book is a world of nutritional wisdom. He has illustrated a comprehensive familiarity with the world’s scientific literature, weaving in his extensive clinical experience and insight that is a must read for every physician in America. Dr. Fuhrman offers a new, more effective approach to the treatment of various diseases and safe and effective methods of prevention. I recommend everyone remember his health equation and follow it for life.”
—Alexander Fine, M.D., Champlost Family Practice,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
“This is a book about achieving optimal health and weight that the scientific community has been waiting for, the ‘gold standard’ via which all other diets can be judged. Dr. Fuhrman takes the latest scientific information from thousands of research studies and puts together the most effective and healthiest dietary approach possible. Everything else is just second-rate.”
—Jeffrey Gilbert, M.D., Medical Director,
Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, New York
“An awesome piece of work that fills the gap between the ivory tower–based nutrition research, which is difficult for the average person to interpret, and the unsubstantiated claims of New Age proponents of nutrition. For me this is a book that dropped out of heaven.”
—Groesbeck P. Parham, M.D., Avon Scholar for Cancer Control,
University of Alabama Comprehensive Cancer Center
“
Eat to Live
is a landmark publication, a gimmick-free guide to the food and exercise requirements for a robust life…. Fuhrman deftly exposes the high protein and fad diets currently popular and includes case studies of the gratifying responses of his own patients to his simple food and exercise recommendations.”
—William Harris, M.D., Hawaii Permanente Medical Group
“To write a great and informative book on the cutting edge of health care, one that can really help people, it would take a pioneer doctor. Such is the nature of
Eat to Live,
whose author, Dr. Fuhrman, is a hundred years ahead of his time. Fortunate is the reader who happens to come across this book. He or she walks under a lucky star.”
—Roy A. Alterwein, M.D., Fort Lauderdale, Florida
“Simply a great piece of work. Dr. Fuhrman has painstakingly taken the time to wade through the ever-burgeoning mountain of evidence which proves that the American diet and many physician-supported fad diets are not only unhealthy but are a contributing if not direct cause of our enormous public cardiovascular and cancer problem. His references are excellent and exhaustive. As individuals and as a nation we cannot ignore this book.”
—Robert J. Warren, M.D., Fellow,
American College of Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery
“If you want or need to lose weight, this book will be of enormous practical value to you, showing you exactly what to do to become trim and healthy for the rest of your life. There are a lot of weight-loss books out there that aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. This is a rare and priceless exception. It’s a jewel. Get it. You’ll be very glad you did.”
—John Robbins, author of
The Food Revolution
and
Diet for a New America
