informative and life-changing!

I highly recommend this title to anyone looking to get healthy, lose weight, and maintain for life!

Good bood

Good information. It just seems to repeat things multiple times. I hope I can do fruits and vegetables with little meat.

I loved it

I love listening to books when I'm driving to and from work it's so fun and informative. This was a very great book and I'm inspired to live a more healthy life

Life Changing Read

If you could sum up Eat to Live in three words, what would they be?

Life Changing! Joel Fuhrman did a great job of providing information as well as motivating the reader to make difficult dietary changes in order to improve health and lose weight. Best weight loss plan ever! Lose lots of weight quickly, never go hungry, and feel amazing. Thanks!

What does Joel Fuhrman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I actually will purchase a hard copy of this book for quick reference in addition to the audio. He did a great job of motivating and kept a fairly dry subject interesting.

Arguments backed by science

The author focuses on the importance of nutrition and backs it all up. This is not a wishy washy vegan guideline. The case is well made to change the poor dietary habits you have and eat to live longer.

Life Changer

I’ve lost 22 lbs so far and I never count calories and I’m never hungry.

The Best of Nutritional Science

Would you listen to Eat to Live again? Why?

Yes, in fact I've listened to it a couple of times and physically read it 4 times! It is the absolute best summary of what is currently known in nutritional science today. The back of the book has over 1,000 scientific references so you can double check what the author says and see that it is indeed based on science, not just his opinion. I have personally gone back to the original research articles in several instances and especially in those areas which sounded the most different from previous info I had heard or read, and checked out the reliability of his statements. He proved to be true in every instance! In fact, in a couple of cases his explanation of what the study found was better than the abstract of the original article itself. This author has true intellectual and scientific integrity.

What other book might you compare Eat to Live to and why?

The China Study, as it's written by a Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry and is very solidly scientifically based, and comes to basically the same conclusions about what foods are best for humans to eat, and what should be avoided, and why.

What about Joel Fuhrman???s performance did you like?

He has a very friendly congenial sounding voice and is easy to relate to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

When I first read this book (after checking out a few sources to be sure of its accuracy), I felt like jumping for joy! I had found the ultimate prize among nutritional books. Prior to reading this I was probably one of the leading authorities on foods, nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals and herbs and why they were good for you. After reading this my knowledge base was expanded Considerably, far more than I would have thought possible. This is the cat's meow of books on what to eat and why it's good for you, with clear explanations, and examples of people's health improving (not just losing weight) from many annoying chronic health conditions.

Any additional comments?

If you care about your health, and especially if you have any chronic health conditions (CAD, diabetes, arthritis, RA, sarcoidosis, etc.) read this book, at a minimum it will (if you follow the dietary and lifestyle changes it advocates) make you feel much better, and be able to function at a higher level!

Like having a discussion with your personal Doc

What did you love best about Eat to Live?

Logical, clearly explained, researched, practical.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Eat to Live?

Chapter 8 - exactly what to eat!

Which character – as performed by Joel Fuhrman – was your favorite?

Joel Fuhrman's no nonsense advice style.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

How few calories are in nutrient dense food thus you can eat as as you'd like and are actually eating less calories than a small amount of junk food.

Great health book on veggies and fruits

I very much enjoyed this books format and nutritional advice. I've been doing something similar with my veggie focused meals, and it's nice to see studies that back up this way of thinking about food.

Save your life

The knowledge obtained in this book WILL !save your life and help fight decease. Following Dr Fuhrman's prescription diet and exercise plan I have lost 50 pounds in three months and now need no medication to control my diabetes. Do it even if You think your healthy. Prevention! This is the way to a longer life.
