In a field that is beset by hucksters and charlatans, this new book establishes Dr. Graham as the undisputed voice of authority and wisdom.” —Rynn Berry, author of Food for the Gods: Vegetarianism and the World’s Religions and historical advisor to the North American Vegetarian Society “I struggled with weight control and high serum lipids for years. Dr. Graham’s 80/10/10 diet has helped me reduce weight, fat, and serum lipids to desired levels. I am running faster and feeling better at age 52 than I did years ago. It feels so good to be in control, and I enjoy every bite of the food!” —Brad Forgy, MS, RN “Following Dr. Graham’s 80/10/10 diet program has given me the energy, beauty, and strength that I have been looking for all of my 54 years, along with the joy of eating foods that appeal to all of my senses. I’m able to run now instead of just walk, something I never thought I’d be able to do. People tell me I look like a teenager. I know I’m treating my body and mind in the best way, while doing the same for our precious Earth. I am blessed to have found this way of eating, and I wish the same for others.” —Amy Harwood, Sonoma, California ™ The 80/10/10 Diet Balancing Your Health, Your Weight, and Your Life One Luscious Bite at a Time Dr. Douglas N.

RM237.59.G73 2006 613.2’83 QBI06-600292 Trademark Statement Since my graduation from chiropractic college in 1983, I have performed considerable research and have lectured extensively on the subjects of health, diet, and athletics to tens of thousands of people in the United States and around the world. The essence of my life’s work has been summed up in the related phrases 80/10/10 and 80/10/10rv, and their corresponding shorthand 811 and 811rv. While 80/10/10 originally referred to a nutritional ratio, followers of my work know that it has come to mean much more. Over the decades, I have strived to imbue the 80/10/10 concept with the additional meanings of adequate sleep, exercise, positive outlook on life, and many other health- promoting factors. As a result, I am formally asserting trademark rights to 80/10/10, 80/10/10rv, 811, and 811rv in order to maintain the high standards they have come to represent in the public mind and to protect the public’s association of these concepts with me and my work. I hope everyone in the health/nutrition field will honor and respect these marks, using them only when licensed or authorized or, if without specific authorization, with proper acknowledgment and notice in accordance with law and custom.

Graham, DC. Dedication With fondest respect, I dedicate this book to my friend and mentor, the late T.C. Fry. When I gave the eulogy at Terry’s memorial service, I promised that his memory would live on. My life, and this book, are testaments to that intention. May his work continue to influence people for the better until living healthfully becomes a normal and natural part of every person’s life. Also by Douglas N.
