Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Lane, To keep protein and fats under 10%, and usually in the 5-8% range, eating lots of organic, fresh, raw fruits,(high in water), some fruit/vegys (cucumbers, tomatoes), some celery and some " soft " lettuce (s): young romaine, young spinach, young red leaf, etc. will do it. For example, yesterday my calonutrient ratios were 90/4/6, with the 6% being fat. Today after breakfast (629 Kcal), they are 94/3/3. If you'd like a " screenshot " of what that looked like, or more info on what was in the meal/s, please let me know, or any other info I can provide. (if you want a screenshot, need your email address...) In an earlier post, yesterday or day before, I'd posted how on 3/16, when I first used Nutridiary, the ratios were 49% Carbs, 42% fats and 9% protein. Whoa! that actually hit me like the proverbial " ton of bricks " ouch...the next day was 81/12/7 (12:fat), and the following day was 87/7/6 (7:fat), then I was on a short (62 hour? fast -), and then I came back. I just kept experimenting, seeing what was working, and what was not. My challenge remains avocados, with something like 66% fat in them! I really monitor/control how much avo I'm having, and don't have it every day. Celery, at 77/16/7 (7=fat) really helps me balance out any avocado. And I'm really beginning to " enjoy " the taste, the crunchiness, etc. of the celery, like I never have before. Hope this provides some insight. regards, Bob rawfood , " lane lynn " <lanie@p...> wrote: > I.m curious. How to keep protien and fat at ten.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I would say not completely; Dr. Graham talks about looking at monthly and yearly averages, rather than day to day; you can safely eat a few nuts now and then without throwing off your overall numbers. They just need to be used less often. Peace, Valerie lane lynn <lanie wrote: ty. so are nuts out? Better first dates. More second dates.
