The 80-10-10 Diet
Back in September, I mentioned that my husband and I had purchased a set of DVD’s called, “Making Friends with Your Food” by Dr. Doug Graham and his wife, Professor Rozi Graham. In this post, I also said that as soon as we were done watching the DVDs, we were going to embark on a raw food diet – and not just any raw food diet, but a healthful, low-fat diet with a ratio of 80-10-10 (carbs:protein:fat) – a phrase coined by Dr. Graham.
Well, we had great intentions, (remember, I said I was going to blog about it here and all…) but the holidays snuck up on us and we had a big lack of self control. We made some half-hearted false starts but they never really got anywhere. In December, we ate pretty badly and not only put on some weight, but our bodies started protesting as well.
I really wanted to start 2007 off well, however, and finally, in the middle of January, I finally pulled myself together and did it. This is my 16th day eating ONLY raw, ripe, whole, fresh fruits and vegetables. No salt, dressings, condiments, sweeteners, sauces or spicy herbs like onions and garlic. I have been eating mostly fruit, and a large helping of vegetables – especially green leafies, in the evening.
Along with that, I am also trying to get more physically fit because I now fully realize that just diet alone will not give me the vibrant health I desire.
And guess what? I’ve been blogging about it. Every single day since I started. To help myself, but also to potentially help others who may be interested. So I’ve decided to share that link with you – click here. I would have shared this link sooner but I wanted to make sure that I would stick with it first.
So…wish me luck, and if you’re curious, I invite you to catch a glimpse into my life for the last 16 days and counting!
