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.

John's Story

In just 3 months John lost 52 pounds and lowered his blood sugar  

Three months ago, I saw Dr. Fuhrman's 3 Steps to Incredible Health. I was pre-diabetic and insulin resistant and could not lose any weight. I was following the Atkins diet and was getting fatter and fatter. At age 67, I weighed 293 pounds and felt like I was 100 years old.

After two months on Dr. Fuhrman's "salad is the main dish" approach I lost 30 pounds and started to feel great. But I need to eat something besides salads and purchased Eat To Live. That was the ticket. I started making heavy duty soups with lentils and beans. Lentils and beans are now my all-time favorite foods.

It's been three and a half months, and I have lost an incredible 52 pounds, went from a 48 inch waist to a tight 38, and dropped from a 3x shirt size to a large. My goal is to be under 200 pounds by this summer. I say no problem here. Oh, by the way, my blood sugar went from 213 to 110. Thank You Dr. Fuhrman...you're the man!
