In Overwhelming Support of a Plant-Based Diet

Comments trackback

Two things happened this month that caused me to rethink my diet, supplement regimen, and disease-prevention strategy. First, I read Michael Pollan’s latest book, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual (Penguin, December 2009), which wasn’t so much surprising as confirming of his stance taken in his other nutritional tomes, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto (Penguin, 2009) and The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals (Penguin, 2007). In short, Pollan believes the standard American diet is woefully deficient in vegetables–not lean proteins, not low-fat dairy products, not healthy whole grains–and thereby void of important vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Our dietary shortage of vegetables and other plant-based foods is the reason why rates of “Western” diseases–cancer, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease–are significantly higher today than they were when people ate more plants, say 100, or even 50, years ago.

But what upsets me, a relatively “healthy” eater whose diet is made up of mostly lean animal proteins, couscous, nutty breads from Whole Foods, Greek yogurt, and that must-have weekly bag of wild-rice sesame sticks, is that, in his advocacy of a plant-based diet, Pollan isn’t just talking about a side of broccoli with dinner every night. As he says: “Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much.” And by mostly plants, he doesn’t mean mostly chicken and rice, with an accompanying half cup of green beans.

And this is the same point Joel Fuhrman, MD, author of Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (Gift of Health Press, 2008), tried to hammer home during an in-person interview yesterday. To live your best, lose weight, and help prevent cancer and other common “American” diseases, you have to eat micronutrients, found mostly in leafy green vegetables, and not submit your body to a toxic digestive cycle that ebbs between food addictions and empty calories on a tide of animal products, flours, sugars, salts, and other non-plant-based products.

While such a dietary approach may seem restrictive at first, it makes complete sense when you do the reading–or in my case, the listening–and Whole Foods Market is so taken with Fuhrman’s philosophy that the store has installed the doctor’s Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) in all its markets to teach customers the micronutrient-to-calorie ratio of many common foods. (For example, kale has the highest ANDI rating of 1,000, while chicken breast rings in at a disappointing 27.)

But don’t just take my word on the vegetable imperative: Do the reading yourself. Pollan’s book is 112 short, easy-to read pages. And soon, Whole Foods Market will start selling Dr. Fuhrman’s literature and self-analysis software for a slight $19.99–the package allows consumers to input their daily diet and family history to discover their own micronutrient deficiencies and nutrition-based disease risks. And in the meantime, what do you think: Can we save America’s healthcare crisis if people just simply ate more, or mostly, vegetables?

Doctor Building Nutritarian Army to Fight Disease

gI_0_ETLBookwShadowFlemington, NJ (PRWEB) January 27, 2010 — Dr. Fuhrman is grateful for the attention that Alanis Morissette’s weight loss success has brought to him and his book EAT TO LIVE, but the bigger story here is the dramatic recoveries from life-threatening illnesses his readers have achieved following his high nutrient diet-style. Dr. Fuhrman is passionate about educating the public and stresses, “Micronutrient adequacy is needed to control appetite and food addictions. Not only is this the key to weight loss but more importantly it is the key to reversing heart disease and many chronic illnesses debilitating people everyday.”

Singing sensation Morissette put an end to her lifelong battle with weight and has acclaimed Joel Fuhrman, M.D.’s book EAT TO LIVE as the key to her success. Dr. Fuhrman emphasizes a diet composed of nutrient rich foods which are vital to weight loss, good health and longevity. He has even coined the term, nutritarian to describe the eating style he advocates.

A now trim and fit Morisette says, “This isn’t just a healthy phase. This is a way of life. I feel like my body is what it was born to be.” watch video Mehmet Oz, M.D. calls Dr. Fuhrman’s plan, “a medical breakthrough.”

Living a Nutritarian “Nutrient Rich” lifestyle is life changing. Fuhrman’s readers and online members are living proof and want to share their success . . .

Ronnie was still very ill and was certain he was not going to live much longer after failed bypass surgery and stents placed in his arteries — he was still having chest pain. As a last ditch effort, he Googled “reverse heart disease” and discovered Dr. Fuhrman’s web site. Ronnie lost over 140lbs in one year and completely restored his health. He was able to rid himself of all medications and save over $600 per month in out-of-pocket expenses! You will be astounded by his remarkable recovery.

Charlotte suffered a stroke and was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and 65 percent blocked arteries, she found Dr. Fuhrman’s book and was assured by the successes on his website. She lost a staggering 133 pounds and recovered her health including completely getting rid of her diabetes – something she didn’t think was possible.

Anthony was 33 years old, 360 pounds, with high blood pressure and frequent migraines. He had always struggled with weight. After reading Fuhrman’s EAT TO LIVE he “got it” and started making changes. Today he is without headaches, 160 pounds lighter and more energetic.

Dr Fuhrman thinks dramatic success stories, like these, achieved with natural whole foods is newsworthy and critical to consider in our present crisis of expensive and unaffordable health care. Lets make sure everyone knows how they can get well.

Joel Fuhrman, M.D., is a board-certified family physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. His other books include Eat For Health, Disease-Proof Your Child, and Cholesterol Protection for Life. In addition, to being widely published in medical journals and consumer publications, like People magazine and The Economist, he is recognized as one of the country’s leading experts on nutrition and natural healing and, as such, has appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs shows including: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, Today, Good Morning America, the Discovery Channel, TV Food Network, CNBC and others.

5 Steps to change your story about food and the holidays…

Comments trackback

When it comes to food, there is no time period more influential, when there are more stories floating around about how we need to eat than during the holidays.

I can virtually predict the stories I will hear from clients as they deal with the onslaught up holiday food that is consuming their life.

Now I’m all for celebrating and having a grand ole’ time with food, but that doesn’t mean you have to have stories like “oh its the holidays, I have to eat and get sick”, “god there is so much food around, no wonder I’m getting fat”.

Our stories about eating, our stories about the holidays and food, like our stories about life in general which affect how we do everything in life, affect how we eat. We usually eat according to our story (s) about eating.

So here are five steps to change your story about food as you go through the holidays.

  1. figure out what your current story is
  2. determine how that story is causing you to eat
  3. come clean with how it’s really making you feel, after to eat the way you story says you should
  4. admit how you cover it up
  5. then change your story to one that works for you!

Once you fully appreciate why the current story you have about any situation or circumstance is not working for you (like how you are eating), you can change it to a story that does.

That requires both practical knowledge, the awareness and the understanding of how to change your story.

Changing your story usually does not result in a change in behavior, unless you go through this basic process and change your thinking. If you don’t, it’s likely you are  just being positive or well wishing or willing your way through situations, with thinking about those situations that is not supportive.

So going into the holidays with a new mindset (story) that you are going to operate from; a new and more compelling and supportive story to live into and through the holidays, is a great place to start.

  • What’s your food story about food and Christmas?
  • What’s your food story about food and Chanukah?
  • What’s your food story about food and New Years?
  • What’s your food story about the holidays in general?

Whatever your story is, make it happy and merry but supportive; and still eat nutrient Rich Foods, for health!

Happy Holidays,

JAM
