Conclusion
While Dr Fuhrman seems to have a huge following in the celebrity circle, there are very few details on the website about the program. The program claims to reverse the disease process and help the dieter to lose 20 to 40 pounds of weight each month. This high amount of weight loss can be harmful to overall health. The plan seems to be a diet plan like all the others with a ton of big statements with very little scientific information to back up these statements. In order to lose weight the healthy way, we support the use of a fat burner and an appetite suppressant in conjunction with healthy meals and exercise.
So….let me get this straight. You think that thermogenics are the way to go?
Well, having been with Herbalife for eight years, I can tell you that the only way to good health and permanent weight loss is through your fork!
Dr. Fuhrman provides lots of research.Revving up the metabolism drops just as many pounds per month BUT puts them all back on and MORE when you quit using them.The Dr. Fuhrman”plan” provides good blood work results, better vision,disease prevention and reversal, longevity.
Are you bias or not? We shall see if you post this.

read his books.. every page of facts has considerable amount of techical analysis and clinical research to back it. Dr. Fuhrman never prints a statement without clinical research.,.. His work is constantly documented. Read the books. You heed nutrient dense foods to build the blood which makes the cells which is the path to healing. Pills can be accessories at best.

What is apparent is your lack of thorough research on the subject of Dr. Fuhrman and his exhaustive science-based work. There are a few false statements about his research. You state that this is a positive site, yet you make negative comments about an ill-researched topic.
We shall see if you post this.
