It gives me hope that I'll survive this process :)<br /><br />That said, I do agree about oils. They're not all created equal, first of all (a tsp of organic flax or hemp oil is not the same as a cup of conventional peanut or canola oil) and beyond that he, like others, uses Asian health studies that aren't necessarily prescriptive for US. That said, I do appreciate the general ethos, and admire the work!Genahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442023507067957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-91722840235071069692011-10-26T21:03:11.215-05:002011-10-26T21:03:11.215-05:00LOL Erin, me too!

And I will never shy away from avocados or tahini. <br /><br />That said, the subject of nutrition is pretty fascinating and I love learning about it. I think, though, that attitude has a huge impact on health as well - that it's really important to love what you're eating, to eat veggies because they're delicious and what your body needs, not because someone forces you to. Hope that makes some kind of sense.Allysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097190577011498780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-39151112586470160632011-10-26T14:18:57.790-05:002011-10-26T14:18:57.790-05:00I don't generally agree with diets that leave ...I don't generally agree with diets that leave oil out completely, cause I agree with you that they serve a purpose in cooking and taste, but I always love the idea of a whole foods diet with tons of veggies.

Though I'm not as strict as I was during the initial "diet" phase, it has totally created a fresh-veggie based habit in my life.

I read part of ETL, and put it down asking myself, "Does he like food?" That said, some people have come up with interesting/tasty ETL-inspired recipes. Sometimes, restriction of ingredients can fuel creativity. I can learn from them (just like I can learn from, say, macrobiotic or gluten-free people) without adopting (IMHO) a questionable dietary philosophy. Just my two cents.JohnPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982714106509253743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-67843782203837326982011-10-25T07:18:24.416-05:002011-10-25T07:18:24.416-05:00Bianca, Have you seen "Forks over Knives"...Bianca, Have you seen "Forks over Knives"? It's a newish documentary dealing with a lot of the same issues. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in food as a source for healthful living or as a medicine. Just from looking at Fuhrman's book on Amazon, I gather that there is a lot of overlap between his text and the film. You should watch it if you haven't already!Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683693413391492808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-21470332881376406642011-10-25T00:42:25.800-05:002011-10-25T00:42:25.800-05:00"If I had cancer or some life-threatening dis..."If I had cancer or some life-threatening disease or if I was overweight, I might consider adopting this diet for real-real."<br /><br />Totally agree. I gave up sugar for a while, and I often thought how easier it would be if I had a negative consequence when I ate it. Unfortunately, it tastes delicious and I don't have a sugar crash (that I notice), so I'm not motivated to give it up! <br /><br />Thanks for a great review!trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688001590373132381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-46349738439920596192011-10-24T23:47:07.997-05:002011-10-24T23:47:07.997-05:00I wasn't all that impressed with Eat to Live. ...I wasn't all that impressed with Eat to Live. While I do agree with his general philosophy, and I try to avoid processed foods, he takes it to an extreme using Asian studies which -may- relate, but may not.<br /><br />Anything to an extreme without solid evidence is probably unnecessary and maybe dangeroius from my point of view--and he's extreme.<br /><br />But I do agree, that if I had a serious illness, I'd probably be more willing to give his plan a shot. So far, though, my plan is working for me, and it more closely follows the advice of most dieticians.PaganAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627178427919292960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-50163661641741474722011-10-24T23:08:25.714-05:002011-10-24T23:08:25.714-05:00Eat To Live is a CLASSIC!

I <3 it, though it IS quite hard to live that way 100% of the time, with all the amazing vegan junk options out there :P I haven't read this Super Immunity book though; I better add it to my list!Chef Amber Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751332126011127621noreply@blogger.com
