Raw Foods

I did not use this book-I had not realized it is mainly a raw foods book. It seems to have excellent info for those who want to eat this way but it is too rigid for me.

This the way to get your health back!!!

This is the lifestyle everybody should follow, but who has a health problems will gain your health back with it.
Congratulations Dr. Graham for this wonderful contribution for the world!

Grandma Always Said "Eat Your Fruits And Vegetables!"

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 one month I lost 20 stubborn pounds, my bad cholesterol dropped 25 points, 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!

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.

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 eventually have diabetes, obesity, heart disease, ALS, Alzheimers, or cancer if they continue eating the processed and fatty foods the world is getting sick on.

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 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!!!

absolutely brilliant

This explains a lot for me, honestly. I have been in and out of a raw foods lifestyle for years now and never understood why it wasn't working for me and now it makes perfect sense - the high fat content was ALL WRONG!

Years ago I was "diagnosed" with a candida imbalance, which was true, and i did the Body Ecology Diet, which was phenomenally helpful because it was leaps and bounds above what I'd been doing, which was lots of soy and dairy and wheat...blech. So I improved but never for long and not to the level I really desired.

When I first heard about the raw foods movement it resonated and I tried it. The complex recreations of cooked foods like lasagna and pizza are certainly tasty, but I could never digest them, and now it seems preposterous to have even tried. They are almost entirely FAT! Way too heavy and just sends a candida imbalance off the charts, which Dr. Graham does a fabulous job of explaining. Not to mention the fact (though I AM mentioning it) that substituting cooked foods that aren't healthy with raw versions seems to be missing the point of walking away from those foods in the first place. Let's let our bodies enjoy the simplicity of the most delicious, sustainable and ecologically sound foods on this planet rather than substitute something that tastes like a cheesburger.

I think it's obvious that this man has lived this lifestyle for a loooong time and he's done extensive research to back up his own experiences. I myself feel 1000 times better immediately upon making this shift, even factoring in some detox effects. I'm easing into it by doing all fruit until dinner time so I can slowly replace the cooked foods that I still crave. This is a lifelong process of healing and revealing radiant health and I see and feel the differences already.

I have also wrestled with asthma since high school and I know the usual culprits (dairy, wheat, soy, miscombined foods) were pretty much all of my old "diet" foods and all of my cravings. The difference in how relaxed, open and clear my lungs are when eating this way is astounding. So simple, so logical and so powerful.

If ever there was a supplement junkie, that would have been me, but now I'm dedicated to being a living foods goddess instead. ;) Yes, it's a trip to buy THIS much fruit, and I'm not even eating the amounts he has in his menu (which is fine since I'm not as active yet either, but I will be!) but I'm spending less than I did on coffee drinks and take out food, even the healthy kind. Besides, I love the produce manager at my local store!

One of my favorite recipes so far, surprisingly enough, is the green smoothie made with (simply) bananas and romaine lettuce with a little water...I LOVE that! It's so refreshing, filling but not heavy and loaded with energy.

I used to think my morning smoothie made with coconut water, Miracle Greens powder, raw cacao and other superfoods was the bomb, but now I get why that wasn't moving me closer to my goals of ultimate health and fitness; too much fat, too complex, not what my body really wants and needs!

Do I see the general public doing this? No. I think it's something you need to be ready for on many levels or have been working up to for a while, or just something you are called to do. For the person on the Standard American Diet, this will seem ridiculous and unhealthy. To anyone who is free of the marketing hypnosis machine and/or has a deep connection to their own body, this will resonate as the best road to radiant health inside and out.

I'm so grateful to Dr. Graham for being a nutritional iconoclast! This is what has been calling to me for years but I needed a framework and some validation to do it properly, with enough food intake and variation. Now, there's nothing standing between me and the best health of my life. How empowering is that?!

If you are ready to do something special, different and totally natural to claim your right to perfect health, this is WELL worth the money and the read. It's nothing short of life changing for me.
