To me, food is doubly important if you are eating it half the time, as you do on fasts. Especially when you need to fast because you have eaten bad food and have lots of toxins and health issues, or indeed have eaten so much bad food that you are overweight. And indeed Fuhrman and Bragg are two people who the founders of this forum referred to as good authorities on fasting, and later Shelton.
Fuhrman of course is heavily into healthy eating as well.
Hopinso and Mike D, the founders, always used to tell people that fasting is not the best way to lose weight (I would have disagreed a year ago - and did!). A few days ago waterbug told me that Fuhrman said you should only fast when you know how to eat properly.
Now it is all beginning to make sense to me. The following videos explain it better than I can. It will take you about half an hour if you choose to to watch them all, but they are all good. First off is a 3 minute video to show why Fuhrman is not mainstream. It is because his free advice will cost the drug companies, a LOT. This first video will also be of interest to people suffering type 2 diabetes, or anyone with any health issues come to that:
That was very noble of him, refusing the cheque and not altering his story.
Below is a 5 minute video showing his theory H = N/C. Health = Nutrients / Calories.
Below is a 10 minute talk from a video, showing his theory in more detail, expanding upon micronutrients and which foods are best to eat.
Here is a short 1.5 minute TV appearance showing how his eating plan can help people lose weight.
Here is an example from his own promotional material showing how overweight people lose massive amounts of weight quickly when put on a healthy diet, without the problems you get after a fast, of putting on weight. It lasts nearly 7 minutes. The people he tries it on lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks, which is quite inspiring:
Last video for the younger ones who might be in need some inspiration, here is how singer Alanis Morissette loses 20 lbs on Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live diet. The video is under 2 mins:
Doctor Fuhrman has his own official YouTube Channel should you wish to see any more of his stuff. Several of these videos came from that channel. I think I will be getting the book and DVD. Whether or not you choose to do this or fast and eat healthily afterwards, or even build up your nutrients pre-fast, I think this stuff is of value to us all.
This Fuhrman stuff dovetails in quite nicely with the recent posts on the Ravediet and Processed people video. Indeed, Furhman says the Ravediet video is "mind blowing" and appears as an expert in the Processed people video.
Thanks to Fasting2goal, waterbug, roadrunner and others for pointing me in this direction. Great material for reading on a fast too!
