Every day I'm trying to eat as much RAW as possible, which is still quite hard because so many things taste good when cooked, especially in this country. Well not so many, but just a few and it's hard to let go. It is always is.
And although I try to follow a 80% raw diet some go all the way and you do see amazing results!
Firstly, the 80/10/10 diet means 80% fruits and vegetables, 10% protein (beans, peas, grains, seeds) and 10% fat (nuts, seeds).
This diet was adopted by several Olympic athletes, and because of the low-fat intake their fitness performance is maximised, but some go as far as 1% fat in their diet!
Here's a little excerpt from this article:
"The 80/10/10's calorie intake is broken down by the following: 90 to 97 per cent 'sweet and non-sweet fruit' and two to six per cent 'tender, leafy greens and celery'.
Zero to eight per cent is taken up by 'everything else' which includes other vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, plus fatty fruits, nuts and seeds.
Dr Graham said: 'You can generally accomplish this with two or three large fruit meals during the day plus a large salad in the evening.
Anyway
'Fruit predominates heavily, yet you consume as many greens as you like.'"
ANYWAY, so, this girl - the Banana Girl eats about 97% fruit and 3% leaves and fats (nuts and seeds).
And she can run 10km in under 47 minutes. Yep.
She eats more fruits than you ever thought someone would be able to. But guess what? She's doing great!
Adam and Eve only ate fruits... but that's a different story.
Fruits give you all the carbs and amino acids you need - here's a living proof:

Or watch this video. She's such an inspiration.. from someone who ate McDonalds and had a drug problem for 5 years to a sexy someone who eats an abundance of fruits and runs 12 km/h every day...
