Hi Steve,

I'm more then 2 weeks into 100% 80/10/10 & I just measured stuff for the first few days to get the hang of it! You of all people must have a good mental idea about that after 30 days, it only took me 3 or 4 days to feel comfortable that I'm getting more then enough calories. I bet you will find it funner with a little more freedom.

I've been really really really enjoying this diet, the quantity of food, & the accompanying lifestyle changes. My current challenge is to learn to chew my food more slowly instead of wooofing it down, I just get really into how good it all tastes & start shoveling.

I do think about how many calories I'm getting, but I don't eat any overt fats. Healing a very mild candida overgrowth which overt fats aggravate. And as indicated on Dr. Graham's forum & his book, not eating overt fats is a totally healthy & accepted practice within this diet & our bodies ideal parameters. So I don't have to calculate as fats never got anywhere near 10% on nurtidiary.com in the beggining, & lack of protein is definitely not an issue on this diet.

Now if I'm curious about how many calories something has, I just look it up in Graham's book really quick.

Steve, your skin condition (at least the dry peeling & itchy skin) indicates to me that your liver (probably finally) got a chance to start healing itself deeply. You skin does like it! So does your liver! It will pass & you'll be healthier then ever...it's called a healing crisis. These kinds of detox symptoms are an indication that the diet, and your body especially, are working, & your body is looking forward to getting to return itself to its ideal standard of health & energy levels (sounds like you're aware of this though).

It's funny though, I've been around 3 people with really bad colds. I was holding & kissing a lot on this one little girl (would have never done that before, but now I just don't care). Haven't got sick after 3 days (maybe it takes longer, not sure), but actually I would really look forward to it, if I noticed a symptom or two, as a way to speed up my body's detox process (if that's what my body wanted to do).

People often talk of having flue symptoms, that it's part of the initial detox especially! Damn, I'm pretty much elated if my nose gets a little runny...lol.

I also visit Dr. Graham's forum, I love hearing personal experiences from those that have gone before & Graham is there near daily & personally helping people: VegSource.com ~ raw food & sports

Good luck & thanks for sharing!
