I love avocado. It is the best natural food source of glutathione, one of
the most important anti-oxidants protecting your brain and liver.
Glutathione is vital for the liver to be able to detoxify ones body
especially from heavy metal. (watermelon the next best source of
glutathione)
Avocados are very useful at helping to control reactive hypoglycemia.

unsustainable, I recently learned.

Aussie avocados were the best I’ve ever tried – They have a variety called
the shepherd avocado that taste smoky. They call it the bacon avocado. We
got them organic fresh from the tree and they were incredible!

I almost never eat them, since I find nuts 100x more delicious as my fat
source.

Avocado provides all 18 essential amino acids needed by a body to create
complete protein.
I eat 1/4 to 1/2 avocado per day as really my only fat but the body DOES
need fat.
Avocado is way more than fat. It’s really a superfood.

I eat at almost the same time everyday and thus my digestion is very
consistent aswell. Whenever I include an avocado it always delays digestion
by atlest half a day. So I tend to eat less than half a dozen or so of them
over a years time. I also don’t eat nuts or seeds at all. Avocados in my
opinion don’t taste that great either, they sort of taste like you’re
eating solidified olive oil or something. I just stick to the carbs
instead!

I actually veered off the 80/10/10 and found that upping my fat intake, and
protein by the 80/10/10 standards has been a more enjoyable and beneficial
way to eat for me. I enjoy a variety of nuts, seeds, and avocado in just
the right amounts a couple times per day which helps me feel very satiated
with less total calories. I actually just had a salad similar to yours
yesterday w/ a Cara Cara orange, avocado, spinach, arugula+…it is a great
combo. With grapefruit too like you used.
All I can say is that I felt liberated no longer trying to stick to a set
of parameters that isn’t necessarily appropriate for all people. Studies
on fat intake usually center on fat from animal foods rather than healthy
whole plant fats. Almonds are high in fiber, and have been used to help
people lower cholesterol along w/ other foods like barley, oats, and beans
by Dr. Jenkins. I now get between 10-20% fat daily, which for me is
usually around 30g per day. In the big scheme of things, that isn’t much.
The total combo of macro and micro nutrients/total calories, are what
matter in terms of individual constitution and energy expenditures. Having
more fat can help people feel satisfied on less total calories which can
help w/ weight loss, esp. the tough last 10#… and esp. as we age when
weight loss can seem more challenging. I know I know, I’m an 80/10/10
heretic… or rather I just found my personal sweet spot. ~Tracy

Avocado the heavenly butter…..LOVE some on my mashed beans and potatoes:)
Why do you call your diet 801010? It`s misleading. To me 811 is an all
fruitarian diet… Dr Graham want`s to own that concept. You guys are raw
til 4 .Durianrider hates avocados because fats gets in the way of his sugar
addiction…easy as that.

Love eating avocados daily because I love the healthy fats. It’s grains my
body has a hard time handling. One size does not fit all……

When I went raw in the year 2000 (I stopped in 2004) I was practically
drinking cold-pressed olive oil and eating as many avocadoes as I cared
for. I lost so much weight my Doctor told me I was under-weight. I pretty
much stayed there until I stupidly departed from the Vegan idea due to
ignorance and the Atkins Fatkins brainwash going on around me. DURIANRIDER
& DOUG GRAHAM ARE WRONG ABOUT RAW FATS, DEAD WRONG!…Unless you want to be
a professional level athlete or something. THE ONLY RAW FAT WHICH MAKES YOU
FAT IS SATURATED FAT FROM ANIMALS: e.g. Beef & Fish Sashimi, Milk Cheeses
and the like. People do not get fat from eating four avocadoes plus
everyday, if you think they do promptly de-brainwash yourself. The overall
balance of the Diet and how one FEELS emotionally is what counts, not some
pie-in-the-sky rigid idea of an 80/10/10….Unless 80/10/10 is actually
what makes you feel best. Different bodies, different needs: “One Man’s
Medicine Is Another Man’s Poison.” God Bless!

I wish people would stop hating on avocados…they have so many
nutrients…just don’t go crazy with them. I don’t have them every week,
but I do by them approx. every 2-3 weeks…mostly because it depends on the
quality of them at the store. I live in south florida but I don’t like fl
avocados..i prefer the haas from CA and Mexico. Anyhoo..when I DO buy them,
i’ll have half a day for that week, then not have them for another week or
two.
I can’t eat them alone, because to do so, I love to put a ton of salt on
them..so I skip that method… lol… but I do like to make dressings with
them or slice into my salad

I love avocados, but I rarely eat them because of the fat content.

lol newsflash, fats are essential for life. no less than 50% of your total
calories should come for fat.

Love avocado pasta! That’s the only way I can eat them. 1 avo, garlic,
cilantro or basil, lemon or lime–through it in the blender and pour it
over some pasta. Yummy!

I was wondering, does eating avocado with rice cause what Dr Barnard would
say “the bubble gum in the key hole” as it pertains to diabetes? I
understand if you eat a SAD that’s high in fat it would cause that blockage
of sugar in the cells. But does the same happens with plant fats like
avocado when mixed with rice? Subscribe and check out my community page on

I like avos now and then. I did try for almost 2 weeks where I had 1 avo a
day. And I couldn’t get to do any sports. Now ofc this is chicken and egg
story. Do people eat more fats when they sit on their butt, or do they sit
on their butts because they eat fats. Or maybe other things that cause fat
eating and butt sitting to result as both symptoms 🙂
Anyway, as long as your long-term macros are 801010 it evens out. And I
would prefer avocados as a high-fat source, (followed maybe by young
coconuts). Because these are still alive, vibrant, foods with some water
content. Almost all nuts are dried and they don’t digest well, seeds… I
consider bird food that needs to sprout and doesn’t want to be eating. So
yeah, eat fruit, spread seeds :)
