Book Reviews of The 80/10/10 Diet
Book Review: Raw Foods
Summary: 3 Stars
I did not use this book-I had not realized it is mainly a raw foods book. It seems to have excellent info for those who want to eat this way but it is too rigid for me.Book Review: Required Reading for Every Raw Vegan
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are struggling with your Raw Vegan diet and don't understand why, this book will set you straight. It is the best book on nutrition I have ever come across. When I read it, I couldn't put it down because it cleared up virtually every doubt or question I had come across during the previous year as a raw vegan.Book Review: Ridiculous
Summary: 1 Stars
The book is full of bad science, poor knowledge of animal behavior, and just plain silliness.Book Review: Simply the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is absolutely the best in this field. Written by the recognized authority on raw vegan diet, this book provides you with simple and comprehensive nutritional system. 80-10-10 (or 811 abbreviation) refers to caloro nutrients: 80% of our calories consumed should come from carbohydrates, less than 10% from fats, and less than 10% from protein.
The recommended nutritional system will provide you with more energy, better health, and simplify your lifestyle. Cannot recommend high enough.
Book Review: Some Important Info For All Raw Fooders
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this book has a lot of great info. Having been a raw fooder for about 2 years and never seeming to have enjoy many of the wonderful benefits many raw fooders crow about, I quietly wondered what I was missing. At times I had low energy, brain fog and pain in my right side in my liver/gallbladder area despite doing flushes. I went to a doctor to rule out gallstones. It turned out to be all the fat I was eating and the burden it was placing on my liver/gallbladder and body in general. I think raw fooders are becoming more hip to the fat issue but I often see people who are fairly new to it- a year or two- who have websites promoting raw foods as a means to make a living. They enthusiastically list recipes with lots and lots of fat and I know sooner or later their way of eating will catch up with them-at least it did me.
Putting 80-10-10 into practice has been a real challenge for me. I wish Dr. Graham would offer one of his workshops on preparing the food here on the the east coast - I think it would be really popular if he did. It would be priceless to me if I could have a weekend learning first hand and hands on and it could be what I need to really kick start this way of life. Books are wonderful but until you put something into practice you always sort of remain on the sidelines not really reaping the full potential of the knowledge you have gained.
