One-Minute Book Review

The 80/10/10 Diet: Balancing Your Health, Your Weight, and Your Life One Luscious Bite at a Time – by Dr. Douglas Graham

The main premise of this book is that a good way to eat for good health, is not the low-carb diet that many advise, but rather, a diet of 80% carbohydrates, 10% protein, and 10% fat.

The crux, however, lies in what foods make up those macros, because this is most certainly not an “anything goes if it fits in the macros” dietary approach.

Instead, the book makes the argument that we humans are, like our nearest primate cousins, evolved to thrive on a diet that’s very high in fruit, enjoys an assortment of other plants, and has a modest amount of animal products making up most of the protein and fat parts.

This argument it lays out in a well-researched and compelling fashion, with references, and quite a bit of data, which can be found tabulated in-line as well as in an appendix at the back. Speaking of appendices, we also find sample menus, frequently asked questions, and (which to this reviewer felt like padding) “stories of personal success with the 80/10/10 diet”.

Bottom line: not everyone will want to eat this way, but for those who do, this book lays out the scientific foundation as well as the practicalities of application, to make it easy to implement and sustain.
