We’ve seen a bunch of people shape up on Dr. Fuhrman’s plan. Superstar Alanis Morissette slimmed down and today looks awesome. And Mildred, she had high cholesterol, but no more! Now check out Mike. He gained a lot of insight and drastically improved his blood work.

I just went to my first follow-up doctor’s visit after having stents put in. I showed the blood work results to my cardiologist who said, “Fantastic job. But you must keep it up”. He has me scheduled for another nuclear stress test in February 2007. So I am exercising, doing 1.75 miles on the treadmill everyday, and staying with the Eat to Live diet to keep my cholesterol to where it is now.

I am so thankful for the information I have learned and continue to learn from Dr. Fuhrman's book. I will soon buy some of the other books. It truly is sad that doctors do not discuss with patients the heart health problems that come if they don't get high cholesterol under control when it is first noticed. I felt confident that the Zocor would keep things under control and it did not...continue reading.

More and more people are changing their lives on Dr. Fuhrman’s program. Just this week we saw how singer Alanis Morissette slimmed down and got healthy. Now check out Steve. He got a diagnosis of diabetes and freaked out, but then he found Dr. Fuhrman’s book and the rest is history.

While I have never been a big red meat eater, the thought of evolving my diet from a chicken and fish diet to the ultimate goal of a primarily plant based diet seemed like a huge challenge. However, I was determined to beat diabetes at any cost.

I am proud to say that Dr. Fuhrman saved my life with his eating program. My latest test results speak for themselves... Cholesterol (total) 139, LDL 79, HDL 49, Blood pressure 110/75, Weight 172, A1C 5.3, avg BS fasting 94.

The only downside to this experience (if you call it that) was my need to buy a new wardrobe. My waist size dropped from 38 inches to 33 inches…continue reading.

• First, singer Alanis Morissette drops 20 pounds on Eat to Live and now she’s saving the environment! This Saturday, March 28th is Earth Hour. Sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund, the event encourages people worldwide to unplug their appliances and turn off the lights for one hour, to give our planet a break. In this toenail-snipping video, Alanis implores you to join the big turn off; via Green Daily.

• Or you can join the 40% of Americans who believe global warming is exaggerated, i.e. nut jobs. The results, obtained by Gallup poll which surveyed 1,012 adults over four days, also showed Americans rank global warming last out of the eight environmental issues they were asked about, others included water pollution and animal extinction; the AFP reports.

• Rising political star and Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele, doesn’t think the planet is warming. Instead, he claims its cooling. His rational is based on some jibber-jabber about Greenland now being covered with ice and Iceland, which is now green. Mind you, despite being an intelligent and very likable guy, he’s also the originator of the “drill baby drill” slogan; from Green Inc.

• Fortunately, in stark contrast to Michael Steele and the recent Gallup poll, new research by Yale and George Mason Universities reveals 90% of Americans feel the United States should act to stop global warming, with two-thirds of Americans saying the U.S. should cut its emissions of greenhouse gases; SustainableBusiness News reports.

• Experts blame the release of aerosols, such as soot, dust and sulfur dioxide, from burning fossil fuels and other sources for the decreased visibility on clear days. Using satellite imagery, scientists confirm since the 1970s visibility has declined due to aerosol concentrations in the air resulting in global dimming, especially over Asia, South America, Australia and Africa; ENN explains.

• Now, you’d think city-dwellers would be grime-covered, exhaust-breathing environment slayers, but an examination of 12 major cities in Asia, North America, South America and Europe, revealed urbanites actually produce less carbon dioxide than people living in suburban areas, the use of public transportation is one explanation why; via Fresh Greens.

Losing weight feels great! It’s an awesome accomplishment. Just ask Brian, he lost 90 pounds, David dropped 30 and even singer Alanis Morissette shed 20 pounds on Dr. Fuhrman’s diet. Now check out Emily, she’s thinner and happier than ever before:

I had dieted in the past, and always felt deprived and miserable, but for the first time, I was eating lots of good quality food, and feeling great doing it! Of course, that first month I dropped 20 lbs, and my cholesterol dropped from 214 to 145, so that solidified my desire to commit to Dr. Fuhrman’s nutritional wisdom for the rest of my life!

Last March, my blood pressure was 157/94, and I was scared, because I knew that I was heading straight for hypertension medication and possibly an early stroke or heart attack. My blood pressure was in a healthy range…continue reading.
