Are you planning to lose weight in 2019? While there are many ways to lose those extra pounds, a change of diet is considered the most practical of them all. This is because the food you eat highly determines your likelihood of gaining unnecessary weight. Of course, genetics and high levels of physical inactivity have roles to play. Still, the biggest concern is what you consume. But not many weight management diets can help you lose 20 pounds or more in a matter of weeks.
However, according to Dr. Fuhrman, the man behind the famous Eat to Live Diet, it’s possible to lose 20 pounds or more in just 6 weeks. The catch though is that you have to change your feeding habits. Eat to Live is not just a restrictive diet that helps you lose weight but it’s also effective in helping you regulate blood cholesterol and blood pressure. But, is the Dr. Fuhrman Diet right for you? To answer this question, let’s look at the diet basics:
- You Stay Away from Toxins
In Dr. Fuhrman’s Diet, there is no snacking like usual, especially in-between meals. You only eat during the mealtimes. Therefore, you don’t have to take sweeteners, sugars, and flavors. These are mostly found in snacks, fruit juices, and processed foods. They are considered toxins to your body and contribute to fast weight gain.
- You Cut Down on Carbs and Fats
Carbs (pasta and foods-alike) and fats are considered one of the leading causes of weight gain. Being able to reduce their quantities is instrumental in helping you lose weight. Dr. Fuhrman’s Diet is designed to help you take the foods in moderation, at least for the recommended 6 weeks. Afterward, you can add the quantity gradually depending on what your nutritionist advises.
- You Call it Quit on Animal Products
Just like carbs and fats, animal products such as milk, eggs, and meat are a primary cause of fast weight gain. Unlike carbs and fats which you are required to take in small amounts, the diet forbids you from taking animal products in totality.
- You Increase G-BOMBS Intake
This is where it gets interesting. As you avoid animal products, Dr. Fuhrman Diet advocated for more:
- Greens
- Beans
- Onions
- Mushrooms
- Berries
- Seeds
The above foods are popularly known as G-BOMBS. Since G-BOMBS are all about vegetables, fresh fruits, and legumes, the foods are low in calories. So, you don’t’ have to worry about any unnecessary weight gain. Besides, G-BOMBs have all the nutrients you need to live healthier.
- Safe for Heart Conditions
Dr. Fuhrman’s 6-weeks diet applies research-barked concepts to guarantee safe application in patients with heart conditions. The diet is primarily a vegan type. It’s free from sodium salt and high-fat. Since the two are known to aggravate heart conditions, patients with the conditions don’t have to worry about anything.
The concept employed by Dr. Fuhrman in the Eat to Live Diet is restrictive. This means that the diet really works. Nevertheless, it’s a short-term solution for losing weight loss. You’ll have to consider other approaches if you are looking for a long-term solution. Overall, the diet is a great one to include in your 2019 weight loss resolution.
