The Nutritarian Diet
In 2011, family physician Joel Fuhrman published the book Eat to Live. The book promoted a six-week-long diet that’s high in nutrients, low in calories, and excludes processed foods. Nutritarianism, as it’s known, only allows unprocessed “nutrient-dense” meals with no animal protein.
Even healthy, processed foods, such as olive oil, are limited. Although the Nutritarian Diet doesn’t count calories, it’s still more restrictive than other diets out there. According to critics, Fuhrman’s claims that the diet reverses chronic illness and extends the lifespan are over-reaching.
