I have noticed that we are quickly losing civility. Some videos are entitled "Fast Food Freakouts" You have a treasure trove of materials for your next videos. This food hijacks the brain and makes them angry and lest civil. I have never seen people freak out this way.
All over social media there are people freaking out and acting less civil, not compassionate or empathetic toward others. Do you think they are food addicts? Could be.
Absolutely 100% honest and true. I finaly had the courage to tell my surgeon that I thought I had a good addiction and didn’t k ow if that info would matter to his decision to do a life saving and altering surgery but he actually thanked me for being honest as well, he was even stunned a few seconds bc he said not many or usualy ppl don’t admit this. But I had just heard about u and I remeber u said eat to live not live to eat and that has stuck with me since. Thank you sooo much for being you.❤
I’m posting simply for accountability. I’ll be 64 in July and was approved for bariatric surgery last Thursday, the Rouen Y. Yesterday I borrowed “Eat to Live” from the library and am starting the six week program tomorrow. I’ve lost 114 lbs but need to lose another 80lbs or so. I want to be off all my medications and resolve my autoimmune diagnoses.
Thank you all Dr. Fuhrman, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. McDougall and other WFPBD promoters, though with some tiny differences, You all a treasure for the humanity.
This is the best video Dr Fuhrmann, filled with so many golden nuggets of truth, I am sure the rising levels of aggressive behaviour in people is related to the SAD diet and food addiction. I myself even stole in the throes of my addiction. I felt so ashamed when I was being controlled by my addiction and my life and work were severely affected for decades. A WFPB way of eating changed all that beyond my wildest hopes and 3 years in I am addiction-free and positive and grateful about life. It's the only thing that works.
Amazing presentation Dr. Fuhrman. I really enjoyed it so much. I'm learning so much for you. I will reread your books again. I've slipped off the wagon. Eating chocolate and sweets. I never thought of myself as an addict. But I am! Sugar addiction is definitely real. I will get back on track. Best of health to you!
Thank you! 20 years ago I tried your program and it works. In 2004 I had brain surgery for Chiari malformation. I was still did the program.. about 2008-2010 I developed intracranial hypertension. Shortly after hypothyroidism then after that P.O.T.S. My life has spiraled out of control. I have gained all the weight back. Apparently eating foods with vitamin A cause CSF to increase. To much exercise causes problems. It seems that my body is my enemy. In addition, all this is quite depressing. I really need your advice but I know you probably are extremely busy. I want to start this again. It was the only thing that worked for me. Only wished you were my doctor.
It is my belief that we eat the way we eat because we were conditioned this way growing up. The pattern was set growing up in a home where eating healthy was not the norm. I dont think in most cases it had anything to do with self esteem I was given after school snacks, sweets, sodas, etc as a treat. My meals consisted of steak, seafood, pork, and every vegetable under the sun. It wasn't until I became ill that I realized the SAD was not a good choice for me. ,But because the pattern was set, some things I eat are hard to just give up when I've had this habit of eating for years.
Agree. Along with being raised you have to eat all of the food on your plate other people are starving. You can't have dessert until you do. Now you want all the dessert you can get.
I didn't realize how addicted I was to unhealthy restaurants foods. Once I started to eat whole fruits and vegetables, legumes, grains and cut out refined sugar, oil and salt, I wanted to continue to eat until I was overly full. It has taken about a month for me to calm my mind and body down.
Thank you dr Fuhrman from Portugal. Just what I needed to hear. Your great and brilliant way of putting to words my scattered thoughts . Wooow! Love from Lisbon
The former alcoholics I shared the room with during my 20 day hip rehab drank enough fruit juice that their livers where still fat and still had their beer bellies (interstitial fat). To the senile they served syrup on pancake, brown sugar on oatmeal, high salt peanut butter with 10% hydrogenated oil and jam on bread, instant mashed potatoes and fruit juice sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Lucky they also had fresh fruit and salads (I ordered without the chicken).
SAD is dead food. It deadens our taste buds. Weaning off sugar, sugar, and oil. It's a start but its a start! Inevitably I am marching towards full compliance.
Thanks for this very resonating talk 🙏 It reminds me of the time I quit smoking, it was so hard socially !! I felt I had to change who I was, all my habits and my friends… I did it and would never go back to that ❤ It also reminds me of this quote : I love myself too much to let me do this to myself ❤️🩹 I will make it !
I don't agree with your analysis Joel. I don't think self esteem is always the answer. I think habitual living is a big part of the equation. Most people do the same thing every day...a pattern. Eating healthy requires breaking out of your pattern and developing a new one. Fat people aren't always mentally ill as you describe.

Especially loved the part about caring for others, and not trying to project superiority. Dr. Fuhrman is a gem on so many levels.

This is exactly 💯 what I needed to hear. I fell off the healthy plan for 2 days. Time for me to choose health again
Same.
This is such a powerful lecture ❤. I need to watch it weekly to help me stay strong and go the distance.
Same!
Thank you all Dr. Fuhrman, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. McDougall and other WFPBD promoters, though with some tiny differences, You all a treasure for the humanity.
Always admired Dr. Fuhrman’s honesty and the ability to see the truth and stay on course. Thank you for all you do and speaking the truth.

0ne of the millions = dr.Joel Fuhrman!🎉❤
You never cease to amaze me! I always think I have learned everything you say, then I learn more. This was awesome.

7:44 ouch!! “You still want to hurt and damage yourself” 😢
Wow so good. This is such a great lecture. He is 100% spot on.
Thank you for the GOOD words, Dr. Fuhrman!
Awareness is half the battle.
What a beautiful speech
It is my belief that we eat the way we eat because we were conditioned this way growing up. The pattern was set growing up in a home where eating healthy was not the norm.

Agree. Along with being raised you have to eat all of the food on your plate other people are starving. You can't have dessert until you do. Now you want all the dessert you can get.
Agree. But how do you feel about what Dr. Fuhrman has to say to the conditioning.
I didn't realize how addicted I was to unhealthy restaurants foods. Once I started to eat whole fruits and vegetables, legumes, grains and cut out refined sugar, oil and salt, I wanted to continue to eat until I was overly full. It has taken about a month for me to calm my mind and body down.
Thank you for the motivation. Am determined to move forward with my lifestyle change and lead the way, by not following the norm.
I just found this truthful video and WOW! You nailed it! I needed to hear this today!
Dr Fuhrman's vitamins are superb!

Great video! 😊
I heard this to late today. I'm a serious food addict. I get withdrawals.
Has what he had to say helped you figure out why you are addicted?
Awesome lecture.
Thanks

So true.
Overeating is an ethical dilemma 😮
I don't agree with your analysis Joel. I don't think self esteem is always the answer. I think habitual living is a big part of the equation. Most people do the same thing every day...a pattern. Eating healthy requires breaking out of your pattern and developing a new one. Fat people aren't always mentally ill as you describe.
Junkfood, restaurants and processed foods in our supermarkets are supported by journalists so people are brainwashed too make the wrong decisions.
Bad habits combined with food addiction, which can present as mental issues, though not with everyone.
Difficult to overeat if you are a vegetarian even if there is no limit in the amount you are allowed to eat .
So at 5:33 if people don't think and vote like you they are irrational according to your view.
