Mrs. U.: Book arrived two days later than expected and although it was secondhand it was in good condition and quite acceptable. I haven’t read it yet so cannot comment on the content

Kpottdownn: I've literally waited for over 3 years to make this review....When I first read this book back in 2014, I was an instant convert and it really did change my life. I started to view a lot of foods differently and I think there is lots of good information in this book. It was only when I read a criticism of this book concerning the broccoli/steak issue that my mind started to change...You will have to look this up for yourself to really change your mindset, as I looked this up for myself. Here it is: Someone pointed out that the more protein in broccoli thing is only true because Joel Fuhrman used data from the 1980's or so and that if you use newer, more accurate data, this is not true. I looked up the citation myself in the book and it IS the outdated data and I found the newer (from google) broccoli nutritional information and calculated it and 100 calories of steak and broccoli = steak has more protein. Does that mean that I eat a lot of steak now and eat butter by the handful? No, I still continue to eat lots of nutrient dense foods, and eat meat only as a condiment, etc... but I was disappointed in this. Why wouldn't he use the most recent information about broccoli when it is...

grounden1985: At 5'10" and 252 lbs., clearly I could stand to lose a few.

I don't do "fad" diets, take pills, or (except in this case) read books. I simply count calories in vs. calories out, drink more water, and get some exercise at least 4 days a week. I've lost weight in the past using this approach, but due to lax eating and apathy, have gained it all back. Keep in mind, I knew I was eating horribly again and would pay for it, so now here I am.

A friend told me she was doing the Nutritarian diet and it got me interested, so for the first time in my life I bought a diet book.

Dr. Fuhrman's research, which makes up 90% of the book, is compelling, if true. Focusing less on calories and more on what it is we're actually eating, Fuhrman eschews the logic of watching portions and rips entire food groups a new one, mainly meat and dairy. He claims olive oil goes immediately to your hips (he's probably right, but I'm no scientist) and eating starchy white breads is as wholesome as eating sugar. If you're wondering what this means for his diet, simply: no meat, dairy, oil, salt, and limited wheat bread or grains, starchy vegetables (sweet potatoes) and nuts.

Rabbi Yonason Herschlag: Dr. Fuhrman’s focus is on the quality of the food we digest. He recommends eating foods that are:
1. High in nutrients
2. high in fiber
3. low in calories
4. low in protein
5. low in fat
And he suggests avoiding:
1. animal products (including meat, fish, eggs, and even dairy)
2. grains.

Pros:
1. What is good about Dr. Fuhrman’s diet is his emphasis on fruits and vegetables, particularly fresh vegetables, as well as legumes, nuts, and seeds—foods that are high in nutrients and fiber. Most people are eating too much processed foods of high carbs and unhealthy fats with little nutrients and fiber.
2. By avoiding meat, fish, dairy, and all processed foods, as well as severely limiting grains, while surviving solely on fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds, will naturally lead to calorie reduction, causing weight loss in the short term.
Cons
1. For most people, the extreme restrictions are not practical; people simply can’t adjust to such drastic changes of cutting out animal products and grains.
2. Dr. Fuhrman recommends (pg. 39) consuming less than the USDA RDA minimum of fifty-six grams of protein for male adults and...

Judy Mc: First of all, I am already a vegan so I was looking for a diet that can help me to loose weight (yes, there are fat vegans out there...).
Dr Fuhrmans recommendations are great and I will update my review once I have done a month or so on his diet but I am already certain that I will succeed as I had a similar diet when I first started going vegan (that's before I discovered how to make vegan cakes..cough..). And at that time I lost 20 pounds. Now, of course this is a diet for life but it's not only good for our waistline and health but great for the environment, too. It's also a sustainable diet (vegan is easier than you think it is). As with all diets it boils down as to how much effort you are willing to put into this. I am personally not a "cold-turkey" type of person. So I started implementing Dr Fuhrmans recommendations bit by bit - ie one month I will have fruit for breakfast and a big salad before lunch and dinner. Second month I will add a new habit ie cutting out processed sugars and flour products etc. I think that's easier than going the whole hog from one day to another and avoids withdrawal symptoms. Now about the writing style..well I realize that this book is...

Aanonymous: Having fought a losing battle against an ever expanding waistline and tried a variety of approaches which had mediocre effects at best I stumbled across this book. After a couple of weeks I noticed I was, uncharacteristically, passing up junk food opportunities that presented themselves (would you like a cake with your coffee, sir?) Now, a little over six weeks in, I have had to tighten my belt two notches.

I am a physician and spent some time working as a diabetologist. I knew then and I know mow that the conventional medicine approach to treating type 2 diabetes does not work. I never bought the simplistic approach to weight control (if you eat less calories that you burn you will loose weight). The quality of the food - the non calorie components - play a role also. I was just never clear how to put this into practice. Now I know.

I have a certain advantage in that I like salad. It was a big thing in our house growing up. Dad grew lettuce and tomatoes and fruit in the garden. Mum was big into salads so for me salad is family meals on a sunny evening; the starter for Sunday lunch; family picnics etc. This probably explains why in my early 20s I was 70kg (6' 2")...
