Question

Hi Zoe,

I’ve been eating a 100% raw vegan diet for over 4 months. I’ve heard a lot about Dr. Graham’s 80/10/10 Plan. With a fat ratio of 10%, I miss avocados. I like to eat them by the whole...sometimes more than one a day. But, I DO want to lose some weight.

Will avocados prevent weight loss, if eaten daily?

Hi Emily,

A raw diet is very important as it is very high in vitamins, minerals and enzymes but so is having beneficial fats in your diet. I recommended 1/2 an avocado per day. This will help keep you in a balance fats intake and as long as you are healthy and exercising, you wont put on weight.

Enjoy.

Hi Zoe,

Hi Mira,

The fat that is in avocados is a beneficial form of fat called essential fatty acids, which the body needs.

Like anything is important not to over eat, I recommend 1/2 to 1 avocado per day. If your diet is very low in fat and you are exercising, a little more is not going to hurt your body.

Enjoy.
