Note: This set of books does not specifically recommend vegan eating. But it's an incredibly important contribution to the literature that encourages people eat healthier and substantially reduce their consumption of animal products.

Review
Dr. Fuhrman's nutritional prescription is a greatly-needed antidote to the US way of eating which has become a leading cause of disease and premature death. Despite all the sophisticated medical technology available today, the sobering truth is that the greatest tools for preventing and reversing disease are your fork and spoon. This way of eating will greatly benefit those in poor health as well as healthy persons desiring optimal wellness and vitality. Further, unlike most weight-loss approaches based on will-power and difficult to sustain, Dr. Fuhrman's approach corrects the underlying causes of excessive hunger and cravings, resulting in permanent, naturally-occurring weight loss. I have had the privilege of personally seeing the tremendous disease reversal that occurs with this way of eating, and whole-heartedly recommend this book. --Tonja R. Nansel, PhD

Review
I love this book. It's hard to believe that Dr. Fuhrman could surpass his earlier book, Eat To Live, but he did. Eat For Health empowers us to make change. It is the only prescription that will ensure that our golden years remain golden and not riddled with disability and disease. Dr, Fuhrman's advice can enable you to achieve the same weight loss seen with gastric bypass surgery WITHOUT the surgery. A must read to exercise your taste buds and rev up your metabolic machinery. --Deanna Cherrone, M.D.

A life saver
I couldn't wait until this book came out. I have read Dr. Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" book several times and, as a result, have lost over 40 pounds in 3 1/2 months and am the healthiest I've ever been. This new book is great for people who would like to ease into the program gradually or for those who are already in the Eat to Live program but would like some additional information and recipes. Get this book. It could save your life.

A Wonderful Prescription For Health
I am very impressed with these books. I am sure I will refer to them many times in the future since they will be a key resource for me in the future. I also plan to use them in my work as a nutritional and wellness consultant. Dr. Fuhrman's capacity to distill medical, nutritional and wellness knowledge into a clear, practical, and powerful prescription for health is remarkable. His command of nutrition is incredible. His discussion of hunger and the power of addictive foods like caffeinated beverages, simple carbohydrate and nutrient-deficient foods, all of which dominate the standard American diet, is powerfully convincing. He also addresses the psychological factors that contribute to overeating and the importance of emotional factors like self-esteem and the impact of the peer group on eating and nutrition. In short, Dr. Fuhrman's new set books take the next step and helping people learn how to prepare and eat a nutrient-dense, calorie-lean diet that encourages good health, long life and vital living for those who are well and for those who are troubled by the so-called "diseases of affluence" like heart disease, diabetes, auto-immune disease, colon cancer and many others. It's a "must have" for anyone interested in promoting good health for themselves or their loved ones. I would hope that the medical community would take note and digest the nourishment that these books contain.
