Dr. Fuhrman on the New Atkins Research
Post a comment (2 Comments) | Permalink
Alright, my second wind is kicking in, time to revisit yesterday’s news about the Atkins diet. In case you forgot, new research found that the Atkins diet is better than other popular diet styles. Admittedly this a tired topic, but, you can’t under estimate the power a report like this can have. You’re average Joe Schmo reads this and before you know it he’s out tearing through more meat than a pack wolves—people are easily influenced.
So hopefully this helps steer people in a better direction. Last night Dr. Fuhrman emailed me some more thoughts on the Atkins research. Again, it’s pretty clear that Eat to Live is the best path to health and longevity and not some over-hyped fad diet like the Atkins program:

So hopefully this helps steer people in a better direction. Last night Dr. Fuhrman emailed me some more thoughts on the Atkins research. Again, it’s pretty clear that Eat to Live is the best path to health and longevity and not some over-hyped fad diet like the Atkins program:
In the Atkins arm of the research the patients lost about 10 pounds in the 12 months of the study. The participants lost 13 pounds the first six month and then regained some of the lost weight in the next 6.
The other diets did even worse.
Compared to a study done on 60 patients following my Eat to Live approach conducted with Dr. Sarter of USC and Dr. Campbell of Cornell. We followed 60 patients over 2 years and the average participant lost 53 pounds keeping it off the entire two years of the study. Furthermore, at the two year mark many participants were still losing. There was no regain of weight. This groundbreaking study showing more weight loss than any other in medical history has still been turned down by the medical journals it has been submitted to and we are continuing to submit to others.
Why does Eat to Live work so well? It is so much more than just a gimmicky weight loss plan. It teaches you how to live for a healthy and more pleasurable life.
What is the rational used by medical journals for turning down the study?
I have started the atkins diet 2 1/2 years ago, I should like to talk with some researchers about what is happening to me that is not associated with the atkins diet website.
