I came across this article the other day about a woman, who is 26 weeks pregnant and reportedly eats 10 bananas for breakfast, 5 pieces of fruit for lunch and a salad for dinner. Her diet calls for 80% carbs, 10% fat, and 10% protein.
I think veganism is great if that's what works for you, and raw veganism sounds like it can do wonders for your health, if you are able to get all the appropriate nutrients. Kudos to her for changing her lifestyle and eating habits in order to gain health/healing, but I hope this extreme diet is not causing harm to her or her baby. I am not sure how much protein a pregnant woman is suppose to eat but I imagine it's more than that 10%. I assume she is under a doctor's care so I hope she is heeding to her doctor's protocol.
What are your thoughts? Would you ever do a diet this extreme - even temporarily?
