Eating 80-10-10

[Guest guest]

A while ago (perhaps 2 weeks back) eating 80-10-10 was recommended

(carbs-protein-fat). That percentage would be total of calories

consumed, wouldn't it?

Yes, it's percentage of total calories. I have been eating in this style for

some time, and

the 80-10-10 figure is just a guideline- the numbers usually look more like

85/7/8 or so.

And it is more of an average to shoot for than something you need to reach each

day.

Some days your fat % will go over the ten percent limit, and other days it will

fall under.

What to aim for is that it averages out to be around 10% or less over the course

of weeks

and months.

So how do you feel eating this way? How long have you

been doing 8-1-1? When you went raw did you go 8-1-1

immediately or did you evolve into it?

For the most part, I feel great. I am very athletic and wanted to switch to a

raw diet to

improve my endurance (which it did!). I've been eating 8-1-1 for a little over

two years.

When I first went raw, I had a goal of eventually eating 8-1-1, since it is the

raw program

most recommended for athletes. However, it took me a few months to be able to

eat

enough fruit to get the calories I needed, so at first I relied too much on

avocados and

nuts.

 

I definitely think most people need to evolve into this diet. After eating

cooked food, our

stomachs aren't able to hold as much volume as we need, which leads to

undereating

calories. And then that leads to cravings and binges on cooked foods to make up

for the

missing calories.
