Eye opening

Joel Furhman's Eat to Live was my very first audiobook about nutrition and healthy living. It was an eye opening experience, finding out about all the toxic chemicals we consume day in, day out, through refined foods. While the title of this book focuses on the weight loss aspect, it is definitely worth mentioning that sticking to the plan proposed in this book will not only help you lose weight, it will fill you up with energy and make you much, much healthier. I'm very reluctant to believe in such 'promises' myself, yet listening to this audiobook and sticking to the plan has certainly done both of the above for me. (I don't even get migraines anymore now)

I have given the book 4 stars only because it is dry at some points, especially at the beginning where it focuses a lot on cancer research and studies.



All in all, I recommend this book to anyone who is ready to make some permanent, positive changes in their life, or is simply interested in the science behind nutrition.

Facts and tips excellent, delivery not so

What did you like most about Eat to Live?

All the points made were back up by well established fact and studies. Not just one study to prove one point, but multiple studies reviewed to produce recommendations. These are not the single sided arguments found in today brainwashing biased media.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Eat to Live?

The facts about protein levels in vegetables compared to meet and dairy.

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Joel Fuhrman?

I've seen Dr Fuhrman in interviews and I think he is a wonderful man doing real good in the world, but unfortunately the narration of this book is disjointed, stuttered and mistakes are made regularly. I think I would have cast someone like Joaquin Phoenix or another vegan/vegetarian actor used to giving monologues.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

An elephant is vegan, how do you think it got so big if you think veggies do not contain protein?

Any additional comments?

Great ideas and i'm looking forward to beginning the diet.

Great content - horrible delivery

What did you like best about Eat to Live? What did you like least?

I have both the book and the audiobook. If I hadn't already read a lot of the book, I honestly would have had trouble following the narration. I have English as a first language, so that is not a factor here.

It is painfully obvious upon listening to the flow of the narration that Dr. Fuhrman never read it aloud a few times first - just to get familiar with speaking the text. I felt I was listening to a 10 year old trying to read a complicated medical journal in front of the class!

Misread words aren't edited out, he just tries it again.

There are breaks in the narration for seconds at a time, obviously waiting for a stop clock of some sort to cue the next sentence.

Dr. Fuhrman slurs his speech by dropping consonants at the start and end of words (how does a doctor get "disease" to come out as "issease"?), and then the next line is dictated with two seconds between many of the words.

The "whistle sound of SSS" is most irritating and the volume varies too much for an audiobook, which is delivered directly into the ear!

The last words of the chapter roll together with the title of the next chapter! Seriously?? The new chaper is never announced.

The message in the book is exciting - nutrition from natural plant foods is the way to great health and weight, however, all that is negated by the irritation caused by the appalling delivery.

I kept wondering if Dr. Fuhrman was "under the influence" when he was recording this, but decided that he couldn't be over such a long period of time.

Maybe the author insisted on earning an extra few bucks for narrating his own book, but his talent is medicine, not narration.
"Horses for courses" as they say!

What did you like best about this story?

The information on nutrition is excellent and he has very good arguments for the nutritarian lifestyle.

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Joel Fuhrman?

Anybody...please...Audible has the best narrators in the business so I'm at a loss as to why this got through quality control!

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Um! It is already a film but if I mention where, Audible will reject my review because I name an outside source. His delivery wasn't any bit better there by the way, so no, I won't be rushing out to see anything.

Any additional comments?

I'm so frustrated at the deliver of this book that I can't even finish it. I'm seriously considering returning it. I had thought to buy his audiobook Super Immunity, but when I listened to the sample of it here, there was Dr. Fuhrman again, speaking more clearly, I'll grant you, but no sample of Ned Sparrow.
I'm not taking the chance!

Changed my lifestyle

I came across this book on YouTube and bought a copy as well as on audible, it has completely changed my lifestyle! I was vegan but unwell, over weight and very unhappy!
The information in this book has changed my life and I’ll be forever grateful to Dr Fuhrman for his insight and knowledge. Do yourself a favour and invest some time in yourself by listening / reading this book, the best investment you can make to care for yourself and those you love! Good luck in your your new journey!

Must read for everyone

Yes to more vegetables and fruits and berries all the time. Yes to lemon juice on salads instead of olive oil. I lost 9 kg in 5 weeks not even following the diet 100%, just giving up oils, bread, rice and pasta. I really hate that this book refers to Americans so much, it's a must read for everyone. I also read "Disease-proof your children" by the same author and it's just as good, but less aggressive.

very good listen, don't miss on it

excellent book, filled with REAL information. would get 5 stars if it wouldn't promote on any level consuming animal products. I do understand it might be easier for some to switch like this.
Still I prefer info that promote non-animal products only - for health and environmental reasons both. the reader also seemed to struggle with some words. Still I would recommend this book to everyone. a huge step for the better.

Thank God it’s on Audible

I would have died of boredom if I had to read this book lool But listening to it was great. I’ve been doing the Whole Food Plant Based diet for 2 weeks now, and I’ve lost weight, and have more energy than I can actually handle. This works!

I guess I should write this review after 6 weeks

The plan seems good. I hope I can stick to it. The narrator stumbled over words, which was annoying.
