Dr Fuhrman's Top 10 Weight Loss Tips - Eat To Live

[@sharlar517]

This really works. I started this on August 4, 2020 and I’m down 40 pounds in a little over 3 months. The first 30 pound me came off in two months. I’ve been shocked at how fast I lost weight but I also feel so much better.. He’s right about not being hungry when you eat this way.

[@sofiasurreal.]

Love that! Thanks for sharing Sharla. Think it will be very motivating for others to read that too.

"Feeling better isn't getting better, feeling better is getting worse. Feeling worse is getting better". This man is a genius

[@iamme6581]

This sounds like nonsense trying to sound deep.

[@nathandunn2892]

@@iamme6581 He’s talking about food addiction and how toxic foods offer temporary relief. It’s a viscous cycle he calls toxic hunger 👍

[@YourMajesty143]

@@iamme6581 - It does, if you lack context. Let's translate: Feeling high off of addictive foods might seem like you're feeling better, but obviously that temporary satisfaction has long-term negative effects. When you cut these addictions off, you'll start to feel worse bc the withdrawal symptoms are your body's immune response in action. Just like fevers, coughs, sneezes, and headaches feel terrible on the surface, they're actually signals from your body to allow rest & repair. So the reality of feeling "worse" is that you're feeling better, bc you're actually healing all the cellular damage you've caused from eating so poorly. Make sense now?

[@cloudysquad3913]

Like someone withdrawing from a drug addiction. They have to feel worse before they start feeling better. Many foods are an addiction.

You may make dressings out of nuts, seeds, fruits. For instance, tahini, lemon juice and a little water is great. I also love massaging avocado into salads (such as steamed kale or spinach.) Then adding a splash of lemon juice. You can also use vinegars.

[@CrystalRocksz]

I’m allergic to nuts and most seeds. Can I benefit from this program?

[@sofiasurreal.]

Of course! Nuts and seeds are included in limited amounts, but are not mandatory. If you can have a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds, that would be amazing for Omega-3s. Otherwise find another good source of Omega 3s.

[@jessymanning2535]

Doctor what about how they grow fruits and vegetables they use fertilize it chemicals it's not organic

[@sofiasurreal.]

Definitely try to pick organic for the 'Dirty Dozen,' otherwise, it's overall most important to simply eat more plants - conventional too - over processed foods.

[@manofsan]

Interesting message -- but my problem is with self control. A lot of people who've fallen off dieting complain about having to eat "rabbit food". What's the solution to that?

[@sofiasurreal.]

As Dr Fuhrman says, it's about making sure you're not hungry - eating an abundance of healthy foods, so filling up on beans, greens etc. Often people under-eat vegetables. So first step, is making sure you don't do that. Next, make sure to prepare the food in a delicious, healthy way e.g. roasting red peppers and adding, making sauces/dressings with a little nuts. And then, finally, you must practice patience, and realise that it takes time for your tastebuds to adjust. It's important therefore to completely take out processed foods to give yourself the space to really appreciate the nuance and natural sweetness and taste of whole foods.

[@JK-bp6oz]

I think to start cut out one problem food for yourself every 2 weeks or a month. Sometimes people need to start slow, because they are heavily addicted to sugar and other food chemicals. I have a heavy sugar addiction, but I make sure I eat tons of veggies. I cut out dairy months ago by replacing my creamer with a combo of 1 can of coconutmilk and 1 container almond milk. Sometimes I water that down to cut down on fat intake. My next target is meat because I have less meat cravings. Another way is to figure why you are craving,what you are craving, and replace it with the healthier food. Slowly practicing self control. I'm keeping unsweetened tea in my fridge now, instead going to the store for sweet tea. (Multiple self control issues for myself there.)

[@manofsan]

​ @J K - I can easily stay off dairy - I have no craving for that. I do like sweet stuff, but in the past I've been able to use non-sugar substitutess. I do get strong cravings for potato chips - specifically the Salt & Vinegar potato chips. I've been trying to substitute peanuts & salsa for that.

[@JK-bp6oz]

@@manofsan Maybe pumpkin seeds, then you can add vinegar and garlic powder then toast them. Garlic powder is my salt substitute for most things because its naturally salty. Most of the Ms. dash no salt seasonings replace salt with garlic powder.

Not particularly. The only thing you may notice is toxic hunger triggers initially, as your taste buds adjust and your addictions seek to be fulfilled. Just stick to it and the rapid results will be more than encouraging to continue with the lifestyle!

Not a word on insulin? Or that it's mostly sugar, an addictive substance? Or that it's the body's hormones which control and drive hunger? Or about protecting your liver by not eating foods which cause spikes in insulin production and that protein-rich diets also cause insulin production? Beans are too rich in protein that they should be consumed in any large quantity. No mention of occasional fasting? Too much missing info here. Watch a video from Dr. Fung or Dr. Jamnadas and get a better background in the biology and physiology of how and why the body produces fat, how and why the body reacts to this food and that food. Low carb saves lives. Dr Umwin's case studies prove it.
