Who is Ardent and What's a Nutritarian???

Good question! Merriam- Webster's definition of ardent is "characterized by warmth of feeling typically expressed in eager zealous support or activity". Nutritarian is a word coined by Dr. Joel Fuhrman to describe his "Eat To Live" way of eating. I believe that ETL is the gold standard of diets!

Sound boring? Well then, I'll take this concept one step further and say that the Ardent Nutritarian is a person who eats a high nutrient diet and has a high nutrient lifestyle. How can you have a High Nutrient Lifestyle? Quite simply by loving and living your life to the fullest.

I'll be going into both of these concepts in more detail in posts to come! I'll also be writing abut my adventures at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City! I'm almost halfway through their Professional Training Program, it has already changed my life and I can't wait to see where this leads.

Thanks for reading; I hope you continue to check back with me!

I smiled when I saw the name of your blog. I am a big Dr. Fuhrman fan and know what a "nutritarian" is because of him. It's such a catchy phrase. Best of luck!
