For those that follow the 80-10-10 way of eating, do you supplement

your diet with vitamins and minerals? Do any of the rest of the raw

feeders supplement with vitamins and minerals?

Belinda....

Speaking from personal experience.. I've been on the 80-10-10 diet for

almost 6 months. I use to take iron and B-12 shots for anemia. Since

my new lifestyle of eating, I have stopped both the iron and B-12 and

feel better than I have ever felt in years.

I supplemented with vitamins years ago, and it got really old really fast.

They tasted horrible, and I had no way of telling what was in them. My

opinion is, if I can't get what I need from my food, then I'm eating wrong.

Anything made in a lab is NEVER going to be as good as what grows naturally.

I've always held this view, not just since going raw - I'd expect to have a

perfect lineup of vitamins and minerals eating raw. It's known even by the

mainstream community that cooking destroys or at least reduces, the content

of vitamins in foods.

This is how I feel too.

The thing is, since eating so much raw fruits and veggies and very

little meat and other types of cooked veggies, I have had to go back

to supplementing some things. Particularly iron and B12. For a long

time I have been feeling run down, no energy, cold, etc. and a weird

and uncomfortable feeling along my spine. Uncomfortable enough that

I couldn't relax or sleep sometimes. I thought for a long time it

was muscle tension, but nothing I did seem to do away with it.

After investigating my symptoms, I was reminded that it was highly

possible that I was enemic. I have been in the past. That would

explain the tiredness.

 

And then I started reading about B12 defeciancey and nerve problems

because of it. So I went and got some iron and sublinquel B12.

 

Once I began taking these, I began to feel much better and the weird

feeling in my spine stopped.

Last week, I went about 3 or 4 days in a row, without taking the

supplements, and symptoms returned.

 

Sooooo, until I can figure myself out, I will continue the

supplements. Oh, I also take calcium too. But not the large doses

that is recomended for women my age. And I don't take it everyday.

because I don't even know if I need it or not.

 

Apparantly I have not quite hit on the right balance of nutrients in

my diet yet.

Really? I need to study more about this and maybe give it a try. I

would rather try it now why the fruits and veggies are in season.

They staste so much better and I have a bigger variety to choosr

from. In the past when I went raw, I didn't do so well, but this

time is different. Since being on this board I have learned to eat a

lot of fruit. In the past, I thought eating a lot of fruit would be

too much sugar. But I feel much better eating a lot of fruit.

And best of all, I like it. It also stops my cravings for sweet

desserts. I has even curbed my desire for chocolate. Imagine that,

being the " chocoholic " that I am. I mean serious chocoholic too.

 

Oh, I also still dring a little coffee, (mostly decaf) in the

mornings.

I guess I need to stop that too.

No Belinda, this is a misinterpretation, arising from misunderstanding,

half-hearted commitment, and impatience.

 

You are not doing any particular program, but rather a hodge-podge

consisting partially of foods you know are healthful and partially of foods

you aren't ready to give up. And whatever symptoms you are experiencing flow

naturally from these choices. The more you drug yourself, the longer your

journey into health will be ... if you ever really get there, at all.

Nope, I am not " misunderstanding " anything. Nor am I commited to

anything yet,not even partially (as far as my diet is concerned).

And what am I misinterpreting? I am perfectly aware that I am not on

any particular program. (I have not decided on my health, diet, food

guru leader yet:o))

 

I also don't jump on paths to anywhere without first looking toward

where I am going and most importantly looking back down the path to

see what is left in it's wake, as well spending time observing those

on the path and what their results are. Though I respect many and

learn from just as many, I follow no mortal human being nor do I

follow the herd. (though there is one " herd " that I travel with) Just

because someone seems to have it all together and has all the

answers, does not meant that they do.

 

Yes, you are correct, I do eat hodge-podge style. And will continue

to do so until I see what it is that I need to do.

 

All that I do with my diet right now is very intentional on my part.

And I am doing nothing concerning my health half-heartedly, you can

be sure.

 

But thanks anyway.

That's what I was most concerned about on this diet - B-12 and iron!

I was wondering how much of the greens are required to get enough

B-12! I'm not SURE that I'm eating enough greens to get the required

amount. I am eating about a 1/2 head of romaine or red leaf lettuce

each day. I usually eat one rather large salad a day at dinner time.

Also, I was wondering if spinach has more iron and B-12 than

other greens such as green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, romaine, etc.

Thanks for any advice about this. At the present time, I am

not taking any supplements at all!

Thanks, LYnne

Hi Belinda,

That's what I used to think, but how do people following the 80 10

10 diet get enough B-12? If you follow it strictly, the book says that

you DON'T NEED any supplements.

So I'm confused. We NEED B-12, right?

Good lord. What we call " B12 " is bacteria poop. The bacteria live in the

soil, the gut, and elsewhere. Foods grown in soil not destroyed with

pesticides grows plants that contain B12. Cows create B12 in the gut ...

because they eat the bacteria in the soil they consume while they are eating

grass.

 

I do, at times, feel genuinely sorry to be correcting in post after post,

but people have learned SO many myths, SO much incorrect information.

 

Amazing ... a testament to the wonderful world of marketing.

I've read a number of studies that state that B-12 is produced by

bacteria in a health digestive system and not absorbed in one that is

providing housing to an abundance of bacteria found in a distressed

digestive system.

 

So... a low B12 reading would point to a problem with diet and

elimination, rest, etc. And the question, What am I doing that is

interfering with the normal functioning and normal environment of by

digestive tract?

 

If you Google Vitamin B-12 and intestinal bacteria or similar...

you'll find a lot from both sides about the subject.

 

Here's one that asserts how we produce and assimilate our own B-12:

Yes, we do need B-12 (it is very improtant) and I have no idea how they

are getting it, without supplementing. It is likely believed that a

healthy body produces it or something. That sems to be the answer from

all the folks of diets that do not contain a mineral or vitamin that we

need.

 

Choline is another that we need that comes in foods that the 80-10-10

diet, I don't think includes. Egg yolks, meat, legumes, whole grain

cereals.

 

I have my serious doubts that women would get enough iron on this diet.

There just is not enough of the foods that are eaten that have it in

there. For men, this may not be a problem.

 

The same for calcium.

 

And of course. The proteins and the amino acids that we need.

Doesn't look like enough and from enough different sources to balance

it out.

 

Anyway, I am not jumping on this path until I know more. Alot more.

I just do not see a way to get all the nutrients our body needs to

function properly, without adding supplements.

 

I also would imagine some might need to be on this diet for a while

before they notice a problem. For others, it might not take so long.

 

Listen to your body and don't always assume that discomforts from your

diet change is de-detox.

I have never heard that the human body synthesises its own vitamins when they

are missing, although animals do so with vitamin C.

 

I have read that the human body does synthesise enzymes. This is one of the

main reasons why raw is healthful. If the enzymes are insufficient/missing

then the body uses its own hormones to produce them. These hormones are then

not available to perform the body's repair and maintenance functions they are

designed for.

 

Isn't B-12 important or even essential for those of you who live with a

menstrual cycle? (if my ex-wife is anything to go by it certainly is).

 

Now I can imagine an army of B-12 deficient women. That's a really scary

thought. LOL

Vitamin B12 is needed to prevent anemia. It aids in cell formation

and cellular longevity. This vitamin is also required for proper

digestion, absorption of foods, protein synthesis, and metabolism of

carbohydrates and fats. In addition, vitamin B12 prevents nerve

damage, maintains fertility, and promotes normal growth and

developement.

 

Largest amounts of Vitamin B12 are found in blue cheese, cheese,

clams, eggs, herring, kidney, liver mackerel, milk, seafood, and tofu.

 

It is not found in vegetables, it is only found in animal sources.

(or supplements)

 

Since I am down to practically no animal products at the moment, I am

taking this and iron (and a few others) as a supplement.

I do feel better with the supplements. Before the supplements, I was

feeling worse everyday. Just getting up was a chore, and being cold

was awful. I hate to be cold. I have been around a lot of animals

that are dieing, as well as a few people. That is what happens to

them. They slowly get colder and colder.

Thanks for the link to this article. I think it explains what El has

been saying.

 

I knew that Vitamin B12 can be stored in the body for up to 3 to 5

years and it can take that long to know that you have a B12

deficiency. So if you have been eating veggies only for less than 5

years, you might not know yet.

 

Even in this article (which is obviously pro-veggies only) says that

with the reabsorption of B12 in the intestines, it can take as long

as 20 years to show symptoms of B12 deficiancies.

 

A B12 deficiancy in the body can cause great harm. Sometimes it can

be reversed (if caught early enough) by just adding the B12.

 

At other times, if the deficiancy has gone on long enough, the damage

can be irreversible.

 

So, I guess one must decide where their faith lies, and what kind of

a chance with their body do they want to take.

Has anyone been on the 80-10-10 diet for more than 20 years, with no

supplemtation of any kind. Even nutritional yeast? (Because I

consider that a supplement).

 

Another question.

 

Are there articles about vegetarian, raw veggie only and B12 that

state there is little chance or no chance of B12 deficiancy that is

NOT promotoing a vegetarian diet? Because pro veggie only folks are

naturally going to come up with all sorts of ideas of why it is the

healthiest way to eat. Just like the meat and dairy folks promote

thier animal products to be healthy to consume.
