Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here but when eating this way is Graham saying that as long as you eat fruits and vegetables the 10% fat and 10% protein pretty much fall into place provided you get your calories in? I was having such a hard time with this book for about the first 140 pages because I thought there is no way I am going to calculate all this. I could understand counting calories to make sure you eat enough but then the 10/10 on top of that...I was thinking FORGET IT, I can't believe I bought this book! Then I got to the page where he calculated a salad (1 head of lettuce, 2 cucumbers and 3 large tomatoes=260 calories, 22 Fat Calories, %Fat 9%). After seeing that I thought wait a minutes, I'm really just counting calories? I mean basically the guy shunned off oils nuts, seeds, avocado etc. (oh and I almost died when he squashed apple cider vinegar-not that it's fat) so I'm really under the impression he's saying don't bother eating fat and protein to try to figure out 10/10 because you automatically get it (or damn near close to it) just by eating fruits and vegetables...am I correct here? I mean clearly I am going to eat some fats otherwise I will disappear but am I getting the gist of this book?
