Many individuals who follow the Nutritarian diet write to Dr. Fuhrman about their success. Keep in mind that results vary from person to person. As always, consult your physician if you have a medical history and/or condition that may warrant individual recommendations.
Sherrell lost 28 pounds and no longers suffers digestive problems
I am 75 years old and had terrible digestion. No matter what I did, I had constipation nearly constantly. I heard about Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian diet from my brother. While neither of us has been morbidly obese, we have battled our weight most of our adult lives. We've tried many of the "best" diets, only to gain the weight back when we resumed our previous eating habits.
I had given up all refined sugar about three years ago and lost 27 pounds, but was slowly gaining a pound a month eating smaller and smaller portions of "healthy" meals, low calorie, low fat, etc. When I started this program I didn't really expect to lose weight because of my age. I weighed 178 pounds, and am 5 ft.9 in. But I lost 28 pounds in less than five months. I love the variety of food and have no desire to return to my previous unsuccessful attempts to control my weight.
Oh yes, the digestion problems have resolved themselves as has my blood pressure and lipids.
Results may vary.
