53 Pounds Sustained Weight-Loss
Here’s a sneak-peak at upcoming research from Dr. Fuhrman. The study found that Dr. Fuhrman’s high-nutrient diet may be the most health-favorable and effective way to lose weight for appropriately motivated patients.
The study tracked 56 patients who came to Dr. Fuhrman specifically to lose weight. In addition to weight, the study tracked their blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and their cardiac risk ratio over the two year period. In addition to their new diet prescription, the patients also received counseling sessions to help them stick with their new lifestyle. They received a sample daily meal plan, recipes, and verbal and written information about the rationale for the diet.
At the end of two years, 34% of the patients were still actively on the diet. This alone was a remarkable number as few diet exceed 20% compliance after two-years. Their results were unprecedented:
- Mean Weight Loss: 53 pounds
- Decrease in Mean Cholesterol: 13 points
- Decrease in LDL Cholesterol: 15 points
- Decrease in Triglycerides: 17 points
- Decrease in Cardiac Risk Ratio: 0.7
It’s scheduled for publication in the May/June 2008 issue of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine—pretty cool, right?

Another new study reveals that smokers who follow Mediterranean-style eating can get benefits from the antioxidant and blood fat lowering effects.
