Publisher's Synopsis
In the first half of his 30s, Brian Rossiter transformed his health and life by transitioning from the standard American diet to a low-fat, fruit-based raw vegan lifestyle following Doug Graham's 80/10/10 guidelines. Rossiter enjoys 10 or more pounds of fruit, 2 or more pounds of greens and a limited amount of fat a day. This diet has enabled him to experience exceptional health, youthful vitality, sustained energy, enhanced mental clarity and a euphoric sense of well-being.
