When Mehmet Oz or any of New York's leading doctors has a patient whose life depends on losing weight, they call on Joel Fuhrman, M.D. In Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss, 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 willpower: it is about knowledge. The key to this revolutionary diet is the idea of nutrient density 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.
With more nutrient-dense food consumed, the more you will be satisfied with fewer calories, and the less you will crave fat and high-calorie foods. If you are an adult diabetic, you will likely be insulin-free in no time; if you are on heart medication, your doctor may stop your prescription; if you are planning a June wedding, you could have the dress size of your dreams. Dr. Fuhrman's meal plan offers recipes for power foods and delicious meals that deliver the biggest bang for the caloric buck. It's very common for his patients to lose at least thirty pounds in three months without ever going hungry. Moreover, after you try his Six-Week Plan, you will lose your appetite for unhealthy overprocessed foods. The types of foods that account for America's having the second-highest incidence of cancer and heart disease in the world.
This is a book that will let you live longer, reduce your need for medications and improve your health dramatically. It is a book that will change the way you want to eat, but most important of all, if you follow the Eat to Live diet, you will lose weight faster than you ever thought possible.
Here’s what people are saying:
“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 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

“This is the 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.”
Jeffery 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 exposed the high protein and ‘blood type’ diets currently popular and includes case studies of the gratifying responses of his own patients to his simple food san 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 the 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
