80 10 10 Diet
Background
The 80 10 10 Diet by Dr. Douglas Graham is a raw food version of a low fat plant
based diet, similar to that popularized by Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Doug McDougall.
Graham, who is a lifetime athlete, has been eating a raw food diet for almost thirty
years. He has acted as dietary adviser to world-class athletes and celebrities
including Martina Navratilova and Demi Moore.
Diet Basics
Graham proposes that the ideal ratio of nutrients to support health is 80%
carbohydrates, 10% protein and 10% fat.
Other low fat vegan diets rely on cooked starches such as rice, bread, and potatoes
as the main source of calories. Starches and grains are low in nutrients and because
they taste bland we usually add sugar, salt, and fats which compromises their
potential health value.
Graham overcomes this problem by basing his program entirely on raw foods with
fruit forming the foundation of the diet. He states that fruit is the ideal food for
humans and supports his claims with convincing arguments and scientific research.
Dieters are encouraged to eat mono meals of fruit where a single fruit is eaten in
large quantities. For example breakfast might consist of 4 pounds of watermelon.
Graham explains that it is necessary to eat fruit in such amounts in order to obtain
adequate calories, which is necessary to thrive on this diet.
Graham also advises dieters to consume approximately a pound of leafy greens
each day such as lettuce, spinach, and celery. Foods high in fat such as avocado
and nuts are generally limited to a small serving every second day or so.
Although the diet is the foundation of the program Graham emphasizes the
importance of addressing other lifestyle factors, which include exercise, sunlight,
adequate sleep, and emotional balance.
Recommended Foods
Fruit, vegetables, avocado, raw nuts and seeds, young coconut.

Exercise Recommendations

Pros
Many athletes have reported improved performance on this diet.
Good for dieters who like eating fruit.
Low fat diets are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Higher in nutrients than low fat vegan diets that include cooked foods.
Encourages the intake of fruit and vegetables.
Encourages a physically active lifestyle.
Provides suggestions to gradually transition into the full diet plan.
Beneficial as a short term cleansing diet.
Food preparation is easy.
Cons
Highly restrictive. Difficult to eat out and in social situations.
Requires a complete overhaul of eating habits.
Many dieters will not enjoy eating this way.
Some dieters may have difficulty maintaining the recommended exercise guidelines.
Dieters will undergo withdrawal and detoxification symptoms in the initial stages
especially if they are regular users of caffeine and alcohol.
Risk of nutritional deficiency especially if intake of leafy green vegetables is not
adequate.
May be too low in protein, essential fatty acids and minerals including zinc and
selenium.
May require the use of vitamin B12 supplements.
Conclusions
The 80 10 10 diet is an extreme approach to dieting that will not appeal to everyone.
It is probably most suitable for individuals who are highly committed, such as
professional athletes, or dieters who have a specific goal that they hope to achieve
by following this plan.
Graham improves on many of the nutritional inadequacies of other low fat vegan
diets and the intake of vitamins and minerals is much higher due to the inclusion of
an abundant amount of fruit and leafy green vegetables.
However many people have reported problems following a raw vegan diet and it may
be difficult to support optimal health without guidance or supervision from a qualified
health professional who has experience with this approach to dieting

The more educated you are, the more likely you are to exercise
Of those lacking a high school diploma, only 8.2% engaged in "regular,
vigorous" exercise, while 46.5% admitted to "no participation in physical
activity." Among college graduates, 21.9% exercised in a "regular,
vigorous" manner, while 17.8% were considered sedentary.
Water, first thing in the morning, is better than fruit juice
Fruit juice is high in sugar. Since most of us are dehydrated in the
morning, water's the best thing to do the trick anyway.
A few deep breaths before eating can help you lose weight
Not only will it help you to slow down but the oxygen will help to
metabolize the food better.
It's called deliberate eating. It means not just giving in to hunger but
enjoying and savoring the food completely. By taking a few deep breaths
before starting a meal you feel fuller faster and after eating feel more
satisfied
Fat may not make you fat
For years, popular diet books assured the chubby masses that a low-fat
diet was the key to weight loss. They were right . . .and wrong. It's calorie
density—not fat—that determines how many calories people eat ,” says
Susan Roberts of Tufts University in Boston . For 18 days, Roberts offered
14 people meals that were either low-fat (20 percent of calories from fat) or
high-fat (40 percent fat). But, unlike other studies comparing high-fat and
low-fat diets, these two regimens had the same amount of fiber,
palatability, and calorie density (that's a food's calories divided by its
weight). “When we kept calorie density constant, people on the high-fat
diet ate no more calories than people on the low-fat diet ,” says Roberts.
But her research doesn't let fat off the hook, because it's so calorie-
dense. “Fat is important to watch out for, but low-fat foods that are high in
sugar like Snack Well's cookies and Entenmann's cakes are also high in
calorie density ,” says Roberts's colleague Megan McCrory . The bottom
line is that low-fat diets that are loaded with vegetables and fruits and
other high-fiber, low-calorie foods may indeed help keep the pounds off.
Diets filled with calorie-dense low-fat cakes, cookies, ice cream—and even
bread, pasta, and crackers—may not.
You can blame only one-third of your weight problem on your genes
Although some rare genetic diseases are associated with obesity, you still
maintain a majority of the control when it comes to your weight.
Generally, overweight people do not have enough liquids in their diet
The body needs at least eight cups of liquids each day to maintain basic
functions Excess liquid is used to break down fats. Without the daily
minimum of water, the body has difficulty breaking down the fats in the
diet. Ten to twelve cups of water can quite literally flush fats from the body.
Some exercises are better than others
When it comes to dieting, the goal is to burn calories and different
exercises do that at different rates. Here are some examples of the energy
expended by a 150-pound person in 30 minutes of continuous exercise:
Aerobics 200-250 calories
Bicycling, Stationary 250-300 calories
Bicycling, Actual 300-400 calories
Running, 5-6 mph 300-350 calories
Stair climber 200-250 calories
Walking briskly 150-180 calories
Reduce your calories by 3,500 and you will lose 1 pound
That does not mean starve yourself. The goal is to maintain a healthy,
balanced diet while reducing total caloric intake. If your trying to lose
weight starving yourself is one of the worst things you can do. The key is,
as we have said, slow and steady weight loss. source, applied nutrition
