Healthy fat ration

dondon

Hi Everyone, I started on my raw food journey seven weeks ago now and am aiming for the 80-10-10 ratios, which seem to achieve the best result for weight loss. I have lost around 12 lbs so far but my fat ratio can be anywhere from 10-18% of my overall 2100-2200 calories, despite trying really hard to get it right! I was just wondering what other people's experiences have been and whether they have achieved their weight loss goals without sticking rigidly to 80-10-10? Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much Janace, that's really helpful. I hadn't thought about the average over the week either, good point. Since writing that post I too have stopped having fat with every meal which has helped bring my percentage down considerably. Before I was still hung up on 'getting enough healthy fat' and was trying to cram nuts, seeds, chia seeds, flax and avocado in somewhere every day! Now I see I don't need to do that to get adequate amounts
