I've read this book, cover to cover, and you CAN eat meat and follow the advice. Dr. Fuhrman wants people to REDUCE their meat consumption, and eliminating it is just another possiblity.

I'll never understand why some people get so defensive when you tell them to cut down on their meat consumption. I guess some folks want to live their lives the way they always have and won't change for any reason. If that is you, this book is not going to help you. If you have an open mind and really want to improve your health, check this book out. It really is sustainable and easier than you think.

book seems to be factual but i was expecting more from reading all the reviews,author suggests trying to eventually elimante eating all meat which is very hard for me,raw vegtables and fruits only is way too restrictive for 90 percent of americans,just my opinion .

Dr. Fuhrman's book is very well written and easy to read. It is much more informative and detailed than many other books on diet and nutrition. I have been on this diet for three months now. I found it rejuvenating and healthy. I personally have lost 35 lbs while on this diet and am only 15 lbs away from my ideal weight.

It is a good book, bringing good results. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. It reminds me of onther very good volume titled "Can we live 150 year" where the author constantly reminds the readers about "Eating to live instead of living to eat". I think reading both books and taking the best of each is the best idea.

I cannot thank Dr. Fuhrman enough! A year ago ( at 27 years old)I was in bad shape. I have not only lost 50 pounds this last year, going from a size 16 to a 8, but have brought my high cholestrol/ high blood pressure down way down. I no longer have chest pains, acne, severe menstrual cycles, headaches, fatique.. the list goes on. I had tried so many of the diets out there, only to fail or not lose any weight. I cannot believe the transformation in me since a year ago, it is simply amazing!..This will work for you if you commit to it! Dr. Fuhrman is very kind, I have consulted with him through email and on the telephone, he has gone over and above the call of duty in helping me to get well again..Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!

If you buy one book on losing weight and health make sure this is it. Fuhrman explains how to lose weight without feeling hungry or deprived through the use of nutrient density. Imagine feeling full on just 1500 calories a day and feeling more energetic and healthy at the same time while also preventing many debilitating diseases such as diabetes or heart disease. Eat to Live explains what's wrong with the American diet and how you can get back on track and reclaim your health and body. Chapter 8 gives his recipie for weight loss and it works. Highly recommend!
