80/10/10

[Guest guest]

Well, I am. I've been on the Eat To Live plan

( http://snipurl.com/1972s ), a 50/50 raw/cooked

diet for some time now, but have recently become

interested in increasing my raw percentage and,

for the last few days, have been doing so.

 

On the other hand, my P/C/F is more like 20/65/15.

I am more comfortable with a higher protein level.

Also, I am a calorie restrictor, so a diet of

mostly fruit would probably not be advisable.

Even Graham advocates larger portions and greater

consumption than that to which we are accustomed.

 

So, it was an honest question about glucose.

I will be testing mine, as I do periodically

anyway, with a home monitor.

 

Some things I don't see giving up in cooked form

are legumes and tomatoes. The former has been

found to be the common factor in long-living

cultures and groups of people in many studies.

The latter (and brussels sprouts may fit here

too) because some nutrients are actually made

more assimilable when cooked.

Hi, I just read the book 80/10/10 and I'm doing it this weekend and I

feel good. I do like cooked tomatoes as in pizza sauce,it is so good

and make the crust out of whole wheat flour and so it does not get in

the class of raw at all but it sure can taste good going down. I'm

just not going to have any for at least 2 weeks and then that will be

my treat.
