Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss
From The Publisher:
Now in paperback, this is the revolutionary new diet that has saved the lives of dangerously overweight individuals by letting them eat more of the right foods–and that can help anyone lose weight, from a quick 10 pounds to 40, 50 or more. Losing weight under Dr. Fuhrman’s plan is not about will power, it is about knowledge. The key to success is the idea of nutrient density, as expressed by the simple formula, Health = Nutrients/Calories. When the ratio of nutrients to calories is high, fat melts away. EAT TO LIVE’s Six Week Plan offers a healthy, effective, and scientifically proven method for shedding radical amounts of weight quickly.

The China Study
The science is clear, the results are unmistakable: The findings from the China Study conclusively demonstrate the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. This important book admonishes readers to change their diets to dramatically reduce their chances of developing these diseases.
From The Publisher:
Referred to as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology” by “The New York Times,” this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.
The South Beach Diet
THE DIET EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT!
Developed by noted Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston for his patients, THE SOUTH BEACH DIET became a national phenomenon-because it works. It’s not low fat. It’s not low carbs. It teaches you to use the right carbs and the right fats to change your body chemistry to burn fat, help reduce your cholesterol, and help prevent metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes). As a result, you’ll lose weight quickly and safely.
Dr. Agatston’s plan allows you to eat the foods you love-meat and fish, cheese, healthy oils and nuts, vegetables, and the right carbohydrates and sweets. There’s no mandatory exercise, and you’re never left craving more food. Structured in three simple phases, this may be the easiest diet that you’ve ever tried.
PHASE ONE: Say goodbye to bad-for-you “goodies”!
Your cravings will disappear…and so will eight to thirteen pound.
PHASE TWO: Your stomach is visibly smaller and favorite foods are back on the menu!
Your body is burning calories, not storing them!
PHASE THREE: The stage that lasts the rest of your life-normal foods in normal portions.
You will keep your ideal weight…and maintain your health and vitality.
With recipes and meal plans for each phase!
“The real value of the book is its sound nutritional advice.”

From The Publisher:
For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can’t stick with it.
So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn’t complicated, and it doesn’t require that you go hungry. You’ll enjoy normal-size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You’ll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You’ll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, as you lose weight, you’ll lose that stubborn belly fat “first!
Dr. Agatston’s diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now, you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with “The South Beach Diet.
