Dr. Fuhrman's program for Nutritional Excellence

Dr. Joel Fuhrman is a family physician specializing in health and disease prevention through nutritional excellence. The core concept behind his recommendations is to maximize the nutrients per calorie consumed. This means a diet of the most nutrient-dense foods: predominantly vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and seeds. Many Americans may consider this an extremist position. But those who follow his dietary advice point out that the modern American diet is a radical departure from healthful eating.

Practical Matters

One of the hurdles for many beginning ETLers is learning routines to enable this way of eating. Fitting food preparation into tight schedules, brown-bagging lunch to work or trips, dining out, sharing meals with non-ETLers, and more are all areas that usually require new approaches.

Please edit this section and tell us about your routines. Take all the space you need, we will organize it as material is added!
