Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 wMilmoe Saturday, May 07, 2005 8:50 AM [Raw Food] How much fat? Leslie: I don't know the optimal on a raw or living foods " live-it " LOL versus " die-it " . But on the Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease that I coach people on -- a person needs between 15 and 35 grams of fat per day. That is 1.5 grams per ten pounds of weight or 3.3 grams per kilogram of body weight. Another way to look at it is 10% of calories. So if our calorie intake is 1000 per day (for example) then 10% is 100 calories from fat (1 gram of fat has 9 calories) or 11 grams of fat. All whole foods contain some fats as the cell walls and organelle walls are made up of triglycerides and other lipids. Packaged foods are able to say zero fat if 0.5 or less grams of fat are in one serving. They also don't count by industry request mono or diglycerides as fat. The body processes and uses mono and diglycerides as fat so again people think they are eating low fat foods which may contain large amounts of fat. My sincere hope is as more people open up to trying RF or even just accepting RF as a valid alternative that some of the billions of dollars of research money will go to researching the effects and composition of RF and its practitioners and the difference that RF can make. Bill _____ Just a reminder that 1.5 grams per ten pounds, or 10% of calories, are best interpreted as MAXIMUMS, not targets. If you aim there, you will almost surely go over, and your energy and other indicators of vitality will be diminished.
