RE: In praise of the Warrior Diet

[Guest guest]

There are many highly reputable medical clinics in the USA

and abroad that use *fasting* as their sole method of

curing illnesses of all kinds.

Their stories to us are anecdotes. To those healed,

they are cured.

The book " Fasting and Eating for Health " , by Dr. Fuhrman

was the book that got me interested in CR. Not until I read

that book did I take action to eat less food, eat less frequently,

and finally make the leap to try out CR.

Dr. Fuhrman is a medical doctor, and has another follow-on text

that is outstanding. Check www.amazon.com book section.

Used copies can often be picked up for a few dollars.

In the meantime, I don't feel that it is my job to persuade

you of anything. I simply put my experience out there and

feel free to convince yourself either way...

I have 4 or 5 books on Fasting. The one that I treasure

(frequently discussed and referenced in the CR archives)

is one written by medical doctor Fuhrman, MD.

Dr. Fuhrman practices clinical medicine and has supervised

thousands of fasts, from very short ones to very long ones.

Admonitions and cautions about fasting are very clear.

The benefits are very clear too.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Fuhrman has another best seller too that has an Amazon

sales rank of 370 -- a true top best seller. It is

rated at 5.0 stars out of 5 stars (It was universally

acclaimed). The book covers a good deal about calorie

restriction and food restriction. The bottom line message

is crystal clear: Eat low calorie, high nutrient density.

The message echoes throughout the book. Do an Amazon Search

of the book for the word " restriction " . See what you find!!

Go and read the pages discovered in the search. You will

probably want to buy the book. (Only a hardback edition is

currently available). Read the front and back cover too.
