Starting Stats
We have been busy bookworms these last few days, devouring Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live. We are armed with knowledge and excitement for the changes to come. The most aggressive form of the 6-week challenge includes eating greens/vegetables (and lots of 'em!), whole fruits, beans/legumes and minimal seeds/nuts. Some followers of the plan have lost up to 1lb a day! Seem crazy/unhealthy/ridiculous/a pipe dream/all of the above? Read Eat to Live and learn for yourself!
It wasn't easy but we listed below our starting stats for the world (or just our loving family who actually read our blog) to see. Check back as we chronicle our journey and watch those numbers drop.
