anyone else read/try the Eat to Live plan?
It essentially recommends a vegan diet without processed foods and limited grains, where the goal of the diet is to maximize the nutrient to calorie ratio of foods (obviously veggies, especially greens are the most nutrient dense and meats/cheeses have virtually none).
General guidelines are to make it a goal to:
eat one pound of raw veggies per day (mostly leafy greens),
one pound of cooked veggies per day,
at least four fruits per day,
at least one cup of legumes (beans/pulses) per day,
up to one cup of soy milk/almond milk
portion of whole grains (oatmeal, wheat pita)
fats from things like nuts
Pretty interesting stuff. Been following it for a few days now and I'm not minding it. I haven't finished the entire book yet but I know there is some room for deviation. 10% rule.. as long as you follow the plan 90%. It really does make a lot of sense to load up on veggies and fruits.
Right now, I'm really just relying on his studies/references(which are a lot) when I'm done the book I'm going to check into it more. He pretty much demonizes meat heh
