Day Twelve – Lesson on “Less is More”

So I figure something out today and I would like to share it with you. I noticed that when I eliminate avocado and dried fruit completely out of my diet, not only do I get less cravings, I loss so much water retention. You would think that denying these foods would make it harder to stay on, when the complete opposite is true. Having them in the diet makes for a more difficult time on the diet.




I went to see Dr. Graham today. He is a leading author on the raw movement. He wrote a book called 80/10/10. His whole principal is that we should be eating meals that are 80 carbohydrates, 10% protein, 10% fat. The typical standard American diet is roughly as I can recall he said, 70% carbs, 15 proteins, and 15 fats. Then he went on to reveal that most raw foodist are 60% carbs, 20% protein, and 20% fat, considering all the oils, nuts, and avocados we consume. I believe him. I hate to say it, but I feel better on cooked foods than raw with all the dehydrated foods, nuts, and fats. And just and FYI avocados are 77% fat, But with that said, nothing makes my body heal or make me feel healthier than raw food that is just the following:



1) Fresh Fruits

2) Green Leafy Vegetables

3) A little bit of seaweed

4) A little bit of sprouts



It was easy being raw today. I didn’t struggle to much.



My weight today is: 127.8
