Great

This is really good to listen to while starting the diet. Something about hearing how good greens are for you verbally is really motivating to change so if you've read the book before but struggled to commit, I recommend listening to it!

What we should all do!

Any additional comments?

I have the paperback, But don't have the time to really sit and read it through. I recently went on a trip w hubby up north to visit family and we were able to listen to it. I enjoyed it and my hubby learned something's that he otherwise wouldn't have.
I've been attempting to eat this way. I also got to the two books Eat for Health, and I'm using those to learn to cook! I would highly recommend getting both the book for the recipes and the audio so you can listen to it and really let it ingrain in you brain.
Everything in these books are honest, and will work if given a chance.

A Dietary Kick in the Pants

What made the experience of listening to Eat to Live the most enjoyable?

This book has transformed the way I live, eat, and feel. I can't thank Dr. Fuhrman enough for that. I was not overweight and didn't have any major health problems when I started reading the book and following the author's suggestions. I had 15 pounds to lose to get down to the lower end of my ideal range. I had long suffered from the side effects of blood sugar swings--sluggishness, mood changes, and headaches.I started out as a cheese-loving, meating-eating, junk food addict, so I spent a month doing the Eat to Live program at about 50%. I felt so good when I was sticking to the diet that I decided I could definitely do it all the way. My headaches went away, I stopped feeling sluggish after meals, and I didn't experience those horrible blood sugar crash mood swings. After 3 weeks of mostly following the program (with occasional cheats like a beer on Friday night, etc), I've lost 5 pounds. Much more important though is that I feel better than ever. I have a steady stream of energy all day and I never get that horrible overly full feeling that comes from overeating addictive types of foods. Most of my junk food cravings have vanished. It was definitely hard at first, but the longer I eat this way, the more I find myself craving healthy foods. I've even started feeling repulsed by the idea of eating meat, which is a very unexpected side effect.I usually have a very large green smoothie for breakfast, some kind of bean soup for lunch, and then dinners vary. Fruit for snacks, occasional handful of raw nuts, etc. I put the flax seeds in my morning smoothie to be ground up and to make sure I remember to eat them every day.I will continue with this mostly vegan diet for the rest of my life, based on how good I have felt since making the switch. I've even stopped craving cheese, which is something I never would have believed before starting the program.

The hardest part has probably been learning a whole new repertoire of dinners to make, but it's been fun too. I bought the cookbook Veganomicon, and all the recipes I've tried in it have been delicious. For people unsure about their ability to switch to eating this way, I say give it a try for two meals a day for a while and see how it goes. Or try it all the way but keep it simple--having a huge salad for dinner requires little creativity or effort and will fill you up until bedtime.

lifechanging must read to live a real life

I love this book. I really believe in all that Dr. Furman teaches about how to be thin and healthy. These principles will reverse most of the effects of aging that are actually the cumulative effect of a lifetime of eating a poisonous diet.

Eat Greens to Live

What made the experience of listening to Eat to Live the most enjoyable?

It's a long book but worthwhile listening or reading.I admire the author for his dedication.His advice is perfectly explained.To clarify "diet" as a way of eating instead of a way of depriving yourself was a great concept. I completely agree with his theories of eating mostly greens to lose weight and maintain health.It's funny, I knew all this, but not until reading his book did it make as much sense as it does now. I am definitely on the road to better health because of this book.

Great listen even every other month

I love that it's condensed with information that are up to date and relevant to a healthy lifestyle! Looking for more books that prescribe whole and rich foods for an energetic lifestyle.... No fad diets will do!
