Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hello everyone, I wanted to share how my thinking is changing about my body through viviting this web site and going raw. I am now 60 years old and I felt as if my body was working " against " me - I thought I needed all the medications and painkillers for the aches and pains and i felt old age was fast overtaking me - creak9ing and groaning etc., Now since raw - I realise that my body is always trying to mend itself - before what I was putting into it wasn't helping that process - in fact I was destroying me from the inside. Now I have stopped " creaking " as much - 80% better on that score - happier inside too and I feel " better " all round - knowing that what I am doing physically is enhancing my spiritual well being too. So as I read the information I am getting here and other sources I realise that my body knows what it is doing - I am eating anything I fancy that is raw and I have done the " fitday " food diary and find that automatically I am always near the range of 80-10-10 that I have heard spoken of on these pages I have started my dogs on raw food - I made up something very simple from what I have read and they love it. So I am a happier bunny these days - thanks Love Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The " 80-10-10 " refers to the caloronutrient percentages of foods that you eat, with the 80% being carborhydrates, and then fat% and then protein%. With the goal being to have a *maximum* of 10% of either fat or protein. both fitday.com and nutriday.com offer ways to track this online. I prefer nutridiary; and I'd posted earlier about how when I first checked it, the percentage was very high for fat (40-50%??!!), from nuts/seeds. Since using the tool, I've gotten it down to the 90/5/5 range, while meeting caloric needs. I find it a useful tool. The ratios have been mentioned a couple of times, and I think Elchanan mentioned it in a post about his researcher friend, Laurie Maters. hope this helps. regards, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I.m curious. How to keep protien and fat at ten. If I add nuts the fat goes way up and the protien just a little. ty Lane - Jan rawfood Thursday, March 31, 2005 9:36 AM Re: [Raw Food] trusting my body On Mar 31, 2005, at 6:10 AM, Lynne wrote: > I am eating anything I fancy that is > raw and I have done the " fitday " food diary and find that > automatically I am > always near the range of 80-10-10 that I have heard spoken of on these > pages Hi Lynne, What is 80-10-10?
