Started this discussion. Last reply by Bella V. Jun 24, 2012. 23 Replies 0 Likes

Hi all,I've had two failed attempts at 80-10-10 and am about to embark on another, much more realistic, transitional try. My husband has agreed to come with me this time, so I hope it will stick! But…Continue

"Have you tried making your own granola for cereal? There are tons of recipes and then you can dump the toxic Kix. I would encourage having him drink more almond milk-if he will-to get more liquids in him. Another great…"

Amy replied to Maria K's discussion Is it really possible to raise healthy raw children?

"I agree that as parents we should do the best we can and not make food a source of stress or power struggles. That said, I am surprised at how many 811ers think kids can't be healthy on a raw diet. What about this hypothetical day: Breakfast: 4…"

Amy replied to RawMomInCA's discussion My first week - feedback, please :)

"I'm feeling good at about 5-7% fat, but it's still really early so I'm playing it by ear. Some days I do a few brazil nuts (I know, not really raw, but good for selenium), oil-free pesto made with walnuts, or hemp seeds. I really love…"

"We put a tiny amount (1/16th tsp) of the chlorella in the smoothies/ice cream...it has a very strong flavor and you want to start with very little as it is dry and you need to hydrate it. Hope things are better soon!"

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: I have experimented with the high-fat raw diet in the past and have been attracted to 811 ever since reading about it 2 years ago. I am only now starting in earnest, and I would like some support on the transition and also in helping my spouse and my 5-year-old son embrace this lifestyle.

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: female

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: 1) 2/10/2011; 2) I plan to be, but so far for only 3 days!; 3) Yes, if it seems to serve me (which I'm pretty sure it will).

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: Yes, I have read it and I love it.

Are you Connected?: yes married

Durianrider & Freelee started this site to bring together high carb, raw vegan lifestylists' across the Globe! 30bad is a high standard and high performance team! We're here to help you make our team! Let us know what HCRV assistance do you need?: I would like community support for sticking with lfrv. I am also very concerned about my son's health. He is 5 years old and is on the autism spectrum, which carries with it extreme pickiness and major digestive issues. I would love some advice about helping him transition to a diet closer to lfrv (although probably with a slightly higher fat intake, from what I read) and I hope to cure his chronic constipation/dehydration/general elimination concerns. I hope that this change in lifestyle will also have positive impact on his attention/communication/cognition.
