You Will Lose Weight on the Eat to Live Diet
Eat to Live is a plant-based diet- the bottom line is we are getting way to many calories from oil, meat products, and processed foods.
Author Dr. Furman lays it out plain and simple. Eat your fruit and vegetables! (drfuhrman.com)

NUTS and RAW SEEDS, are optional for obese or overweight persons while they follow this weight loss plan. People who have difficulty losing weight may also eliminate the starchy vegetable/grain.
Since reading Eat to Live, I’ve cut back on cooking with oil, bought some ground flaxseed, added more servings of vegetables, and making more of an effort to eat fruit. I’m going to continue with my weekly lean steak, periodic chicken, and other meat in some of the Korean food I eat for lunch.
