[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am new to the group and relatively new to raw food eating. What

exactly is 80/10/10?

 

Thanks,

Hi Susanne,

 

Welcome to the group. The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr Douglas N Graham suggests

getting at least 80% of your daily calories from carbs, less than 10% from

protein, and less than 10% from fat (in the form of raw fruits, veggie fruits,

tender greens, and limited nuts/seeds). For more information, go to

www.foodnsport.com. It's an excellent way to go raw )

I hope the webmasters feel it is okay to mention that while the most

outspoken on this group are pro 8/1/1, the majority of raw foodists and

the members of this group are not. We embrace the Hippocrates Diet, a

live vegan diet, but observe that 8/1/1 does not work well for

everyone. Erica

This whole supplementation versus diet issues comes down to this: with

eating just whole fresh living foods, do you feel great with your food

choices without the addition of supplementation?

 

On many of the raw diets out there, the answer is " No, absolutely not " .

This is because those raw diets don't give the body everything it needs

to heal itself and to function well. But with the addition of

supplementation, all the body's needs are met.

 

On the 80-10-10 diet, one quickly finds that they are feeling great, and

that there is no need for supplementation. I've been eating all raw and

80-10-10 for over 5 years now, and I feel great without supplementation.

 

I've helped people who were having difficulty on the Cousens or the

Hippocrates diet, who absolutely knew they couldn't eat fruit because

they had candida, to once again eat fruit. These people now eat fruit as

the main source of calories and they feel great.
