Hi,
June fourth I started a new diet based on the book by
Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss.

Quote:
When Mehmet Oz or any of New York's leading doctors has a patient whose life depends on losing weight, they call on Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
In Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss, Dr. Fuhrman offers his healthy, effective and scientifically proven plan for shedding radical amounts of weight quickly and keeping it off.
Losing weight under Dr. Fuhrman's plan is not about willpower: it is about knowledge.
The key to this revolutionary diet is the idea of nutrient density, as expressed by the simple formula:
Health = Nutrients/Calories
|
He is a strict vegan.
He says for the first six weeks to eat
I. 2 huge salads each day -- eat at least a head of Romaine lettuce or similar green each day
II. At least 4 fresh fruits a day
III. Limited grains and starches of no more than one serving a day
IV. A cup or more of beans or lentils each day
V. No more than an ounce of uncooked nuts a day.
VI. Absolutely no animal products (Milk, cheese, eggs, and fish are off limits.)
VII. Flax seed
VIII. Mushrooms (good meat replacement because of texture and good helpful plant chemicals)
IX. cooked and uncooked low calorie veggies like broccoli
On top of this vegan diet, I am also eating 98% Wheat Free / Gluten free.
My goal is to loose weight and to feel better. I also hope that my body responds in good ways.
So far I feel a little more clear headed.
(It would help if I followed the plan a little more closely.) lol
Hubby is helping with the cooking.
