Book Reviews of The 80/10/10 Diet
Book Review: Eye Opening
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading this book makes me amazed at the fact that more folks don't follow this diet. I read the book cover to cover twice and have been following the 80/10/10 way of eating for the past 2.5 months and have lost 25 lbs (from 190 to 165 - I'm a 5'11" male). No more mucus, sleep is much more restful. I actually want to exercise now, my skin is clearer, old aches and pains are disappearing. Dr. Graham does a great job of bringing to light the relevant research and also common sense arguments about why this is the healthiest way to eat and live. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I have already given my copy to my parents and plan to buy a few other copies to give to other folks. Good luck!Book Review: Fatphobia?
Summary: 2 Stars
Dr. Graham and other vegans base their low protein requirement on the fact that the most perfect of all foods, mother's milk, has only about 5% protein. Well, it also has about 56% fat. This suggests that not only do most people consume too much protein (as believed by Graham), but not nearly enough fat. What is the reason for the 10% limit on fat anyway? Such "fatphobia" by Graham and other vegan doctors (Pritikin, Ornish, McDougall, etc.) can really not be justified. I think 80/10/10 is much too high in carbohydrates and much too low in fat and perhaps too low in protein as well. Something like 20/60/20 seems much better, that is, 20% carbs, 60% fat, 20% protein. What fun is eating when you have to religiously avoid delicious foods like nuts and avocados?Book Review: Feeling Fantastic, Thank You Dr. Doug Graham

Here is a video from Dr. Graham. It demonstrates how he is doing after 30 years on the diet and it demonstrates the direction I am now headed.
This book revolutionized my life. I had potential hernias, acne, chronic fatigue and could barely run a mile. Now I am running ULTRA marathons, have clear skin, have constant and consistent high energy levels, and no hernias.
Life is simply magnificent.
If you care about your health or your life, BUY THIS BOOK!!!
You can live the life you want, free of pain!!!
Book Review: Finally!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been interested in how diet affects health for many years. In my research I've come to the conclusion that eating raw is the way to go. Unfortunately, I was confused by all the conflicting information out there. Finally, there's a book that puts it all together in an easy to read & understand format. Thanks Doug!Book Review: Grandma Always Said "Eat Your Fruits And Vegetables!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book on the recommendation of an alternative health doctor, and it was like an epiphany! I started to apply its principles and in just one month I lost 20 stubborn pounds, my bad cholesterol dropped 25 points, my blood pressure went from a whopping 180 over 120 to 135 over 80, my chest palpitations have stopped, my tumor markers (for previous breast cancer) went down to normal levels, I am 2 dress sizes lower, I have more energy, my mood is always happy, I LOVE eating this way! I don't miss meat or cheese or grains at all! They make me gag now because I know they previously brought me to the brink of death! Literally!
Now I live on fresh fruits and veggies from the farm stand and make all kinds of neat salads, my own fresh dressings, I add a few nuts daily (but without any added salt or oil) like pine nuts in my salads, or crushed almonds on celery sticks, etc. My only "cheat" so far is once or twice a week I add one cooked baked Yukon Gold potato, which is the best tasting potato in the world, but add no butter, sour cream, or salt to it, and don't even miss the spices; it tastes best plain. Most plant based foods do, only we've been so used to ruining their tastes with unnatural fats, salts, sugars, condiments, and other additives.
So my advice is 1) get this book, 2) be creative with it, the sample diet plans are not etched in stone, just eat fruits and veggies in their natural state as much as possible, 3) plan ahead for mealtimes so you always have fresh produce on hand, 4) try some new fruits and veggies you've never tried before just to have some variety, 5) don't listen to naysayers - who will all eventually have Diabetes, Obesity, Heart disease, High Blood Pressure, ALS, Alzheimers, or Cancer if they continue eating the processed and fatty foods the world is getting sick on. I know - I used to be one of them. Never, ever again! I have found the formula to superior health, at last.
Dr. Graham is very wise and to him I say, "God bless you, sir!"
There was a reason God said to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden that they could eat of any fruit in the garden (except for one unspecified fruit) and He said man should have dominion over the animals, but He doesn't say to them in the Garden of Eden to EAT the animals!
So whether you believe we came from monkeys and should eat bananas fresh off a tree, or whether you believe we originated from God and He said to eat as much as we wished of the fruit of the garden, this 80/10/10 Diet is just what the doctor ordered. Dr. Graham, that is. ;)
Good luck everyone on your journey back to health. This is the way to go, believe me!
Besides, the FOOD TASTES WONDERFUL!!!
