surlaroute 's review for:
The End of Dieting: How to Live for Life
by Joel Fuhrman
First off, an update following my review of Eat to Live by the same author… I've been on the six week plan for only a week to 10 days, loosely for 3 days before that, losing nearly a stone in 2 weeks, and I feel great (except for some major back pain over the weekend, I'm not sure if this was related to the weight loss or what). So, yes, it works like crazy. I'm not sure if this really added much, and how helpful what it added really will be.
I said that the earlier book didn't offer a lot of new information (it's really just as simple as eat more greens, eat less crap, like they've always told you) but it put it in a way that I really took on board. This book presents most of the stuff in that book again, with random additions and refinements, but for at least its first half it's nowhere near as easy to read. There's lots of technical stuff in here which I suppose is in reaction to the kind of skepticism about his science in the earlier book like Penn Jillette covered in the podcast following the one that introduced me to Dr. Fuhrman 3 weeks ago.
Fuhrman also adds a lot of stuff to the list of things he doesn't recommend like eggs (as bad as cigarettes) and certain canned products, and uncooked mushrooms, sort of bordering on the old Daily Mail cliché of "everything causes cancer" and certainly making his revised plan in this book harder or more daunting to follow than the one he presents in Eat to Live.
That said, as with the first book, I took some parts on board, I'm staying mostly on the plan in the first book, but already made some of the recipes in this one… it all adds to the knowledge pool I guess.
