Eat to Live Diet: 8 Easy Breakfast Ideas

The Eat to Live Diet was created by Dr. Joel Fuhrman to help individuals lose weight. On Dr. Fuhrman’s plan, dieters may lose up to 20 pounds in six weeks. The concept of this diet is based on the belief that to maintain a healthy weight, dieters must eat foods that are nutrient dense while low in calories. The Eat To Live Diet provides two plans, a vegetarian plan that will present the fastest method to lose weight and a moderate option that includes limited amounts of animal proteins. Recommended foods include raw vegetables, beans, tofu and fruits. Refined carbohydrates are to be avoided on this diet. Below is a list of easy Eat To Live Diet breakfast ideas.
