Nutrient Data: Next Steps [80/10/10 Success Guide]

[Guest guest]

Greetings, and thank you for your questions. In a nutshell:

 

1. Obtain information, such as The 80/10/10 Success Guide, such as this

conversation.

 

2. Obtain a food scale, postal scale ... anything that weighs in increments

of grams or partial ounces. Cheapo is fine!! :) Then you measure your

foods ... not for long, just until your eyes and mind become accustomed to

what various portions look like. For some people this takes a few days, most

use the scale extensively for a few days to a couple of weeks, then use it

only occasionally to refresh their own mind or when a new food comes in (as

when the seasons change).

 

3. You pause and reflect, distinguishing between quantity and percentage.

For example, in almonds the PERCENTAGE of calories from fat is 73 (73% of

calories are from fat). It doesn't matter how many almonds you eat. However,

the NUMBER (amount) of calories depends entirely on how much you eat.

 

4. Create a free account at www.Nutridiary.com. If you wish, we have a free

tutorial I can send you ... not yet published, so we send it out one copy at

a time upon request. It's an audio program accompanied by an extensive

handout filled with screen shots, courtesy of the Path of Health Community.

(That's my home group and where I publish most of my " core " posts.)

 

Use your Nutridiary account for a few days, perhaps occasionally thereafter,

to give yourself an idea of what you're actually eating ... your caloric mix

of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The software creates little tables and

pie charts and so forth, very easy to interpret once you play with it a bit.

(Tutorial can help with that.)

 

In my experience, most raw fooders who do these things are shocked to learn

that they are presently consuming 50-80% of their calories as fat. There is

no diet of such construction that is healthful for humans, in the long run.

 

Hope this is helpful,

Elchanan

I heard of the 80/10/10 book. I hope you dont mind a few questions.

How do you know how much is 10 %fat or protein. Is that a half a cup

of nuts, seeds? One avocado a day? and are nuts both fats and

proteins? Can you tell me what you eat in a day exactly if you are

following this diet. I really think that there is too much nuts in

some raw dishes , but wonderign how to feel full. The key always

seems to be more fruits and more veggies it seems. Thanks so much for

sharing this info.

As regards the scales, I've negotiated a 10% off coupon

with the owner of Old Will Knott Scales for my blog readers.

Since he changes the code on a fairly regular basis, it's

best if you just click on my signature and scroll down to

find the latest in the sidebar. I have both food and body

weight/fat scales from him. Nice guy and a good selection.

 

 

Hope this helps,

Yes please send me the tutorial, I checked out nutridiary, it looks

like it could be very helpful if I knew what to do. I know that I am

eating too much fat, cause I have gained 3 lbs but that is my my

chemistry, I can def find raw meals without seeds or nuts and I am

planning on making them reg from now on. What do you think of one

whole fruit meal such a smoothie, one smoothie made of moslty veggies

and some fruit and a large salad and one serving of nuts or seeds in

one meal such as lunch or dinner. Would that be close to 80/10/10??

Again thanks for your help.

Hi! Maybe I can offer an example of my food intake. I currently eat according

to the 80/10/10 lifestyle. My meals typically consist of about 500-600 calories

of fruit or blended fruit (smoothie) for breakfast, around 600-700 calories of

fruit again at lunch, and then a LARGE salad at dinner. My salad is prepared in

a serving bowl that holds 12 cups of salad. I put toppings like tomatoes,

cucumbers, sweet peppers, chopped zucchini, okra, etc on top. If I choose to

have overt fats (nuts, seeds, or avocados) I do so with my dinner meal. Fats

digest better with veggies and are slower to move through our bodies, so night

time seems the best time to have them. A few nights a week, I have 2 oz of

avocado (about 1/2 of the avocado) chopped on my salad. If I have nuts or

seeds, I try to limit that to 1 oz and never eat those on a day I have the

avocado. I don't typically eat nuts and seeds on a regular basis because I find

that I feel better when I don't eat them. I hope

this helps.
