Hailed a "medical breakthrough" by Dr. Mehmet Oz, Eat to Live offers a highly effective, scientifically proven way to lose weight quickly. The key to Dr. Joel Fuhrman's revolutionary six-week plan is simple: health = nutrients / calories. When the ratio of nutrients to calories in the food you eat is high, you lose weight. The more nutrient-dense food you eat, the less you crave fat, sweets, and high-caloric foods. Eat to Live has been revised to include inspiring success stories from people who have used the program to lose shockingly large amounts of weight and recover from life-threatening illnesses; Dr. Fuhrman's nutrient density index; up-to-date scientific research supporting the principles behind Dr. Fuhrman's plan; new recipes and meal ideas; and much more. This easy-to-follow, nutritionally sound diet can help anyone shed pounds quickly-and keep them off. "Dr. Furhman's formula is simple, safe, and solid." --Body and Soul

I am a physician. Nearly a decade ago, I cut the chemicals and additives from my diet because of a medical problem. As my diet improved, my health got better, but something surprising happened. I lost weight without trying! At first, I could hardly believe it. I was eating better, the food was delicious, and I was saving money. It was easy. It almost seemed too easy, because I didn't need to go hungry or count a single calorie. In fact, I ate chocolate nearly every day, and I still lost weight. (All I did was make sure my chocolate was made out of chocolate, without additives or chemicals). It's quite possible that you, too, can easily lose weight without -dieting, - or eliminating your favorite foods. This is because the latest weight loss research is not about calories. The latest weight loss research is about how substances metabolically affect your body. Many of the so-called -diet- foods on the market are actually extremely fattening due to their metabolic effects. What does this mean for you? It means easier weight loss, no more starving, and no more getting stuck with -diet- foods that taste like cardboard. If you're like me, you'll need to start eating more to make sure that you don't lose weight. That's a change I like! These days, calories are old news. The latest research has discovered something that may shock you. The latest research has discovered that many low-calorie and zero-calorie items affect your metabolism in a way that increases appetite, increases food cravings, and promotes massive fat storage. There are literally hundreds of low-calorie and zero-calorie items on your grocer's shelf that will do this. They metabolically activate fat storage in your body, even if they have zero calories. You don't even need to overeat for them to make you gain weight! You'd never guess, right? That's why calories are old news, and that's what makes this book so different. This is not a typical -diet- book. It's a culmination of over 5 years of research by a medical doctor, to give you the insights you need to lose weight. I hope this is the last diet book you ever need. This book will explain the science behind what you're eating in normal human language, not scientific mumbo jumbo. Other physicians like myself have the ability to look up the research and understand it, but what about you? Don't you deserve to know the weight loss shortcuts, too? This book will help you understand exactly what you're eating, and how it affects your body. You'll no longer be fooled by secretly fattening items marketed as diet foods. You won't waste any more money on foods with appetite-enhancing additives that force your body to gain weight. You can eat more, lose weight, and save money. So stop throwing away your hard-earned cash on fattening chemicals. Stop starving yourself-it doesn't work. Good nutrition can save your waistline, your money, your looks, your health, and yes, even your life. Eating honest food is easy, tasty, and affordable, and I can't wait for you to try it! So please, don't just buy this and leave it on a shelf. Read it. Apply it. Don't miss out on a chance to never diet again. You'll no longer be dependent on restrictive and boring meal plans to lose weight, because you'll know what the experts know. There is no more need for you to eat less than a hungry gerbil to lose weight, because you'll no longer have food chemicals and additives working against you. So stop starving yourself and start eating honest food. It is possible to lose weight without dieting. I did it, and I believe you can, too.
