Eat to live
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. When the ratio of nutrients to calories is high, fat melts away and health is restored. Losing 20 pounds in two to three weeks is just the beginning. The more high-nutrient food Dr. Fuhrman's patients consume, the more they are satisfied with fewer calories, and the less they crave fat and high-calorie foods. Designed for people who must lose 50 pounds or more in a hurry, EAT TO LIVE works for every dieter, even those who want to lose as little as 10 pounds quickly. No willpower required-just knowledge

- Change your food lifestyle: Eat mostly unprocessed plant-based foods.
The book "Eat to Live" explains why plant-based foods are better for you and how much of the processed food in the modern lifestyle is not good for long-term health.
Diets are temporary and so are their results. Lifestyle changes require a bigger commitment, but they will change your life.
- I've just hit my 16 year veganniversary...
Number of times I have been to the doctor for protein deficiency... zero.
I have found that the biggest problem with being vegan is depression, depression because you have no friends. You basically go through this very traumatic learning experience to learn the truth about where food comes from and then you are isolated. Friends make jokes about you, and become not so good friends anymore. Then you become depressed because of the isolation and then _some_ think it is because of the diet, which it could be, but likely isn't. And it is because of the isolation. (watch the film Happy)
The evidence based book Eat to Live will guide anyone interested in a vegan or plant-based diet to nutritional excellence, so they aren't missing any nutrients etc.
However, it won't get you friends and help others be more compassionate and open minded, it is quite miserable. So, I suggest that priority #1 if anyone goes vegan is to move. Yes, move to a city where there is a vegan community, along with that comes more compassionate individuals. We did that and moved to Portland, Oregon and now I have a TON of friends (I did work hard at it, meeting people in real life on FB groups) and I encourage more to come to Portland as well! There are over 40 vegan-only restaurants, 40 more that are vegan and vegetarian and over 80 more that have vegan menu items. This means there is quite the population already here, so move here, make it better, get in a good supportive bubble!
If you move here for the vegan community, hit me up and I'll introduce you to others!

- It really isn't that hard. All protein on the planet comes from plants and photosynthesis. Dietary supplemental vitamins are needed on both a vegan and non-vegan diet. Human teeth cannot eat raw animal skin/meet, they don't cut it. Watch "The Game Changers".
Read the book Eat to Live. It is evidence based, written by an M.D. and has nearly 1,000 references/studies. I've been doing the ETL lifestyle now for 16 years now, and feel great on it!
- Watch The Game Changers and read Eat to Live.
- One thing that might be a good thing to focus on over all would be nutrient density and secondly bioavailability and its relation to your genetics ie. how well your body can convert/make use of said nutrients. I'm a fan of Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Joel Fuhrman and his book Eat to Live. Deep Nutrition is another good book that covers the things modern diets often miss out on. Cronometer is a good place to check nutrient density of foods. If you've done 23andMe or other genetic testing you may want to run your data through Promethease or just check individual SNPs relevant to vegetarians like DHA/EPA conversion.
- Agreed. Eat to Live is the single best nutrition book I’ve read. He also continues [1] to be an active medical researcher and clinician. His diet is challenging to strictly follow but the results are very clear.
