The 80/10/10 Diet: Balancing Your Health, Your Weight, and Your Life, One Luscious Bite at a Time
I’m not really convinced about the basic tenets proposed, even though I think the diet suggested is much healthier than the standard American Diet (SAD). I’m very skeptical about such claims as coconut being good for us, which is commonly claimed among raw food proponents, not just in this book.
It's crazy that this book doesn't have an index; it makes it unnecessarily difficult to go back and reread something, and it makes the book seem less professional somehow.
At first I thought this diet looked NUTSO (and I disregarded it), but I had tried raw and was got a whole new whack of issues, so I had no choice and it was THE BEST THING I EVER DID. This book changed my health, changed my life.I no longer have:Adrenal issuesAddison'sIBSOCDGeneralized anxiety issuesChronic fatigueFibromyalgiaInterstitial Cystitis Low blood pressure(I know right, how could I have so much???)
This book made my transition to low fat raw vegan smooth and gratifying. It builds up a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding of why eating this way is so important. This foundation helps me continue eating this way.
Okay, so I did not actually finish reading this book. More like skimmed the parts that I was interested in knowing more about. But even so I am happy I read it. I learned a lot about what I have been doing wrong in my diet and how I can further improve my health. Definitely worth a read even if you dont read all of it.
The 80/10/10 diet is a raw vegan diet where you eat 80% carbs and 10% fat & protein. In order to get enough calories to sustain your life, you need to eat .. a lot. As in .. not one banana for breakfast, but 12 bananas for breakfast. The quantity of food needed to sustain this type of diet is ridiculous. I do think the concept of this diet is interesting and I do believe that we should eat a more plant based diet; however, the author lumps everyone into one category - Vegans. We are not
After trying this diet and gaining a lot of weight I decided to give up on the perfect raw ideal. I am now eating more beans and greens and less sweets and that seems to be working better for me using the Joel Fhurman books as a guide.I had raved about this book and the raw foods high fruit low fat diet at first. the pros were getting off the refined foods. But in the long run it was not sustainable for my body and I am ok with that.

Ilustration In Favor Of Books The 80/10/10 Diet: Balancing Your Health, Your Weight, and Your Life, One Luscious Bite at a Time
I actually agree with a lot of what's said in here about the optimal diet for humans, even though I don't plan on ever going raw. Of course not all vegan foods are healthy, but I think it’s best to eat a whole foods vegan diet that includes plenty of cooked foods, not that I eat that way either.I’m not really convinced about the basic tenets proposed, even though I think the diet suggested is much healthier than the standard American Diet (SAD). I’m very skeptical about such claims as coconut being good for us, which is commonly claimed among raw food proponents, not just in this book.

A good book that I found very interesting, a lot of what Doug says is common sense when he points it out to you. I think it is a good idea to eat lots/mostly raw food but I'm not against eating some cooked vegetables and some rice, beans and oats in the diet.At first I thought this diet looked NUTSO (and I disregarded it), but I had tried raw and was got a whole new whack of issues, so I had no choice and it was THE BEST THING I EVER DID.
