In real world practice in todays society it is too expensive and unrealistic unless you live in a community or have a strong support network that is comprised of likeminded peoples.

Forcing your self to diet goes contrary to what dieting is all about. Loosing weight is a bout making effort and taking the extra step. But if someone doesn’t understand the basis, there will be lack of motivation. Dieting and loosing weight is all about feeling good about yourself.

And you're right. you don't have to deprive yourself of the food you love. No food deprivaton. and this 80-10-10 diet of yours seems like a great plan. Actually, I have come across a book about this green algae that is good for the health which says you need more alkaline food (vegetables, fruits, etc.) than acidic foods (meat, poultry, etc.) Well, it seems they have the same principle. 70% on alkaline and 30% on acidic. Good thing I've come across this site of yours. Thanks! You have an interesting article right here. And you’re right. you don’t have to deprive yourself of the food you love.

I didn't find it compelling in any way. Books from the chiropractic practice tend to be emotional but unconvincing. In the Okinawa Diet book, a figure of 0.4grams protein/pound of bodyweight is quoted. This can be 10% depending on the amount of calories one consumes. Glycation is bound to be an issue, I think, considering fructose is the major contributor along with galactose. The argument that humans are designed to be frugivores is weak. The book is interesting but I don't find any convincing evidence to put it into practice. Also, I think that removing meat and animal from the diet takes care of the methionine issue.

Personally I've been eating 100% raw and low protein levels for over 5 years. Most of that time eating Dr. Grahams low fat raw approach. In that time I've built bigger muscles than I ever have before. Might be hard to do if I lacked the protein. But I think the most commonsense argument is that even mother's milk only averages 6% of total calories from protein. BTW, Those protein levels go down as the baby gets older. A baby doubles in size within about a year. As adults we stop growing. Why would adults need higher levels of protein than a baby doubling in size in a year? Another question is the viability of the protein. On a raw diet the proteins are not denatured and damaged by the cooking process. It's quite possible a raw foodist could absorb higher amino acid levels than a cooked food eater. I know over 100 raw foodists and none of them has ever had a protein deficiency. Protein is not a problem at all. Roger Regarding the protein issue.
