What do you think of low-fat raw food diets, like the 80/10/10, versus a regular raw diet (which is pretty high in fat with all those nuts and avocados!)?

i find that my body naturally craves a lot of carbohydrates in the form of a TON of fruit and greens as it gets closer to summer, then at times i’ll want an ample amount of nuts/seeds/avocados/etc. but i don’t believe 811 is a long term diet - it’s something you could do for probably a couple months to help you lose weight, but the body thrives on fats! after a while things will shift and your body (well my body at least) will start to crave a diet that’s more well rounded.
i would advise for anybody/everybody to read david wolfe’s “the sunfood diet success system.” seriously brilliant piece of work, not only are the first few chapters about finding happiness and being happy to improve your life overall, but it explains SO much - great detail.
the ideal sunfood diet triangle consists of three equal parts: chlorophyll (green leafy vegetables), fats (nuts, seeds, avocados, coconuts), and sugars (sweet fruits).
seriously, get the book. everybody.
i would also advise reading brendan brazier’s book thrive if your active, another favorite of mine.
