Welcome, nutritarians!

Hello!
This group is for those who follow or those interested in learning about Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat To Live book and nutritional program, with special emphasis on the vegan version of his plan . The ultimate goal is to meet for potlucks and ETL-friendly restaurant outings. But I realize it might take a little while for this group to grow and catch on. : ) In the meantime, we can support each other and offer recipes and meal ideas.

Eat to Live is not a diet. It is a high nutrient way of eating in order to promote health, including a healthy weight. Dr. Fuhrman emphasizes greens, other vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and other delicious foods. He suggests we minimize grains, processed foods, sweets, etc. Nutritarian is a term he uses to describe the dietstyle.

There are many wonderful Eat to Live resources out there - Dr. Fuhrman's website and a Yahoo group for example, but this group can hopefully bring us together! If you have not already, I encourage you to read either Eat to Live (available very inexpensively) or his new 2 book set Eat for Health.

Please note that this group has no connection with Dr. Fuhrman and is not authorized, funded or endorsed by him.
