So why do you not tell us about the enormous plant-based salads you are eating daily or several times per day? The salad should be the main dish. There's the real magic.
I'm not going to tell you it is cheap to eat like this if you have to pay for your produce. It isn't. But it is super and it is food and it is tried and tested.

RDA for fiber is far too low. Max. benefits occur at 150 g/day. If you are getting only 1/5 of that you should increase significantly.
Read Jenkin's very high fiber diet papers. Here is one. It changed my life.
4/5 tbsp of coconut oil per week is manageable. You made it sound like you used that much per day. But I would still prefer that you eat actual coconut meat instead of the oil. It

A lot of people claim to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, but it's usually not several kg worth. I can't say I know what is optimum but from DAJ Jenkins' papers on very high fiber diets, it's probably > 5 kg/day (none of which is juiced or blended) for a healthy medium tall active male.

I don't believe there are any universal classifications but I consider these categories
ultra low fat: < 10%
low fat: < 15%
moderate: 20-25%
high: 40% or higher
very high: 60% or higher.
In many of the so-called "low-fat" studies people are advised to aim for 20% but there is usually a fudge factor of 33% or more so that they are actually hitting 30-35% instead of 20%. G

You can read the paper here. There are more details in his other studies. You should read those, too, instead of LEF propaganda.
Did you know that the rise in coconut oil's popularity coincided exactly with the fall of trans fat? Under pressure to reformulate their products, food manufacturers needed to find an alternative. At that time marketers quickly started promoting coconut oil as a

I think we can learn something from these people.
1. They did not mind their RDAs.
2. They did not supplement with B12
3. They were relatively high in fat
They were outperformed by CR types in several measures. So
one might say that these particular raw choices might perhaps
not be ideal.
On the other hand, Fontana says the CR and Raw have many

Another big reason why dogs get sick is that the purebred ones are highly inbred. The higher the coefficient of inbreeding, the shorter the lifespan. Also some breeds are almost guaranteed to get cancer prior to the age of 7, such as certain retrievers.

The RF vegetarians ate a variety of raw vegetables,
fruits, nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, and cereals,
dressed with olive oil (1285-2432 kcal/d; approximately

Exactly.
Just because it's raw does not mean it's ideal. The people who take pains to make sure they get all their vitamins and minerals (using the RDAs, gasp!) maintain high intakes of dietary fiber, and limit saturated fats, trans fats, maintain optimal O3:O6 ratios, etc. have better biomarkers than people who just do the raw thing with high fat diets, coconut oil, and juice.

They consume a lot of coconut in Kerala.

Or are you consuming large quantities of it because you prefer the taste, and because marketin

I think the dietary fiber intake is also highly relevant. On a high-fat, high coconut oil diet with lots of juice, fiber intake can't be very high.
Blame it on the "carbs" though.

When I was 7 I visited a monastery in the Peloponnese with my family.
It was first built in 342 AD.
The monks were really nice to us. One thing I still remember is that they did not use deodorant. I still remember that smell!
They fed us, too. We had lentil soup with their homemade bread. It was divine! I still remember that taste!

Tai, yes, he investigated bone mass. He has done more with raw vegans than anyone else lately.
The paper I referred to was a discussion, not a trial. Many of his papers are free. There is one focusing on raw foodists that is not free. PM me for details.

TSM I would totally agree with you if it were only about vitamins, minerals, efas, and eaas.
But there are all those phytochemicals that do not have RDAs--we know we need them to be healthy--most of them haven't even been named yet, but we do better with them. It would be better to get the widest possible range of benefits by maximizing exposure to them, from a wide variety of food sources. No
