Quick quotes

    Another excellent overview of health from Dr. Fuhrman. I especially like the inclusion of "no time to cook" meal plans for busy families.

    Overall I found the information very interesting. The studies and science Dr. Fuhrman sites makes for very compelling arguments to eat a more natural, unprocessed diet.

    If we all understood that the secret to healthy eating and a long life was a steady diet of healthy greens and colorful vegetables, beans, walnuts, seeds, and fresh fruit, would the diet industry even exist?

The book presents a strict diet plan that eliminates many foods, which some find useful for weight loss and health improvement, while others find it too restrictive and unsustainable. The author's emphasis on nutrient-dense foods is appreciated, but the plan's rigidity is a common critique.

The book offers a detailed diet plan that focuses on eliminating processed foods, dairy, and meat, among other restrictions. Some readers found the advice practical and helpful for weight loss, appreciating the emphasis on nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans. However, others criticized the plan for being too restrictive and unsustainable in the long term. The author's self-promotion of his own products also drew criticism, making some readers lose respect for the book. Despite these criticisms, many found the recipes and food suggestions useful and incorporated some of the ideas into their diets. The book's strict approach to dieting is seen as a double standard by some, who argue that it is just another diet plan in disguise.


Quick quotes

    The diet book to end all diet fads and diet fad books...yes?

    He's growing on me, but he is so much a zealot with abolishing everything in the world from your diet.

    Any eating plan that tells you what, when, and how much to eat is a diet. Period. It doesn't matter if the book or plan bills itself as a "lifestyle change." It's still a diet.
