Short summary

Based on the plan of Dr. Fuhrman, losing weight is a function of knowledge. He expresses diets as a function of nutritional density, i.e., “Health = Nutrients/Calories” When this ratio is high, fats melt away, and health is restored. In other words, the higher the nutrient value of our meals, the more we lose calories. This summary is designed for people who want to lose an average of 50 pounds in the least amount of time. You do not need any willpower to lose weight; all you need is knowledge. “Clearly, it is difficult to eat healthfully in our crazy world, where it seems that everyone else is on a mission to commit suicide with food.” ― Joel Fuhrman.

first key point

For weight loss and optimal health, you need to consume a diet with a high nutrient-per-calorie ratio

Listen the first key point

00:00

The nutrient per calorie density is the most important factor involved in Dr. Fuhrman’s weight loss routine. This ratio is simply expressed as Nutrients/Calories = Health. The higher your nutrients consumption, the better your health.

Your health can be predicted by the number of nutrients you consume divided by your intake of calories.

All the calories we consume come from three sources: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Nutrients, on the other hand, come from vitamins, minerals, fibers, and phytochemicals. To remain fit or lose weight, you want to eat foods with high nutrient values.

Many people do not understand this subject, so there is a need for mass education. The change you desire depends on your ability to understand these concepts. When you truly understand the role of nutrients in your weight loss, you will find it easier to eat healthily. This summary will serve as the foundation of knowledge you need to start building a healthier body.

You do not need to wait until you are faced with a life-threatening health crisis before looking to achieve health excellence.

Everyone wants a disease-free body. We are all in search of effective ways in which we can keep our bodies’ disease proof. This summary is by far the easiest way with which we can accomplish this goal. We can keep our waists fat free and our hearts plaque-free by simply consuming more nutrients.

The food we eat affects our moods, and as a result, switching diets is very difficult. The American diet is addictive but not as addictive as smoking. Since smokers can quit, you can change your diet.

Many people know that they can become fit by changing their diets and exercising, but they lack the will power required to act. This summary offers a better and easier way. It will reveal why people find change so difficult. It will paint a picture of the results you could achieve if you choose to change your diet. At the end of the day, you will have to make a choice and decide what step you want to take.

Did you know? Every food can be evaluated using Health = Nutrients/Calories. Once you learn which foods make the grade — and consume them — you will be on your way to lifelong weight control and improved health.

second key point

To achieve optimal health, stop abusing yourself with disease-causing foods

Americans consume a lot of junk food. These foods are referred to as junk because of their low nutrient value. These foods are the reason for the rise in obesity within America. Obese citizens account for a two-fold increase in the mortality rate of the United States. A rise that costs $100 billion yearly.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

Jillian Emmert

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
