EAT TO LIVE: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss

The main principle of this book is that for both optimal health and weight loss, you must consume a diet with a high nutrient-per-calorie ratio.

Very few people, including physicians and dietitians, understand the concept of nutrient-per-calorie density.

Understanding this key concept and learning to apply it to what you eat is the main focus of the book— but you must read the entire book. There are no shortcuts.

I have found that a comprehensive education in the subject is necessary for my patients to achieve the results they are looking for—but once they understand the concepts, they “own” them.

They find it much easier to change. So make no mistake: the complete knowledge base of the book is essential if you want to achieve significant success, but I know that after you read this book you will say, “This makes sense.”

You will be a weight-loss and nutrition expert, and by the end you will have a strong foundation of knowledge that will serve you (and your newly slim self) for the rest of your life.

Why should you wait until you are faced with a life-threatening health crisis to want health excellence?

Most people would choose to disease-proof their body and look great now.

They just never thought they could do it so easily.

Picture yourself in phenomenal health and in excellent physical condition at your ideal body weight.

Not only will your waist be free of fat but your heart will be free of plaque.

Still, it is not easy to change: eating has emotional and social overtones. It is especially difficult to break an addiction.

Our American diet style is addicting, as you will learn, but not as addictive as smoking cigarettes.

Stopping smoking is very hard, but many still succeed. I have heard many excuses over the years, from smokers aiming to quit and sometimes even from failed dieters.

Making any change is not easy. Obviously, most people know if they change their diet enough and exercise, they can lose weight — but they still can’t do it.
