[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my late 40s and I did the Eat to Live when I was in my early 40s.

It's a very healthy eating plan.  But I found it to be unsustainable in the longer term.  But as someone who didn't learn much about nutrition growing up, it was helpful.

I'm glad I did the intense portion--after the 6 weeks, kept up the "maintaining" portion for about 9 months or so.
I lost a lot of weight, felt healthy.  But got VERY bored of the food options.  And it was a lot of work to prep that much fresh veggie daily.
It wasn't sustainable for me.  My meals were different the rest of the family.

BUT I did find the principles helpful.  So a few years later, when I found out I had high cholesterol, I went back to a version of this.
 I went to a nutritionist who helped me to translate some of the principles of it with the goal of reducing my cholesterol to stay off statins in a 3 month
timeframe.  It worked well.  So I appreciated the education that the Eat to Live model provides.

For example, the nutritionist helped me with strategies of how to eat when I'm traveling for work with limited options. Or she recommended specific brands of 
ready made soups (a no-no on the other plan) that she said were most similar to making it yourself.
