Most diets change the way you eat - THE GRACIE DIET will change the way you live! The revolution began in the 1920s, when the late Grand Master, Carlos Gracie, first introduced jiu-jitsu to his family. Through the years that followed, Gracie family members dedicated their lived to perfecting techniques that would empower the weak against the strong. The superiority of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was proven once and for all during the unforgettable first-ever UFC telecast in 1993. Today, the Gracie familys influence continues to expand as they have been called upon to redefine the unarmed combat programs of military and law enforcement organizations worldwide. The Gracie name has become synonymous with self-defense, but what the world does not know is that the family has one secret that they cherish more than any fighting technique - The Gracie Diet. Over the course of his long lifetime, Carlos Gracie developed, refined, and perfected the Gracie Diet to ensure optimum health and vitality for all members of the Gracie clan. Now, for the first time ever, Carlos nephew, Rorion Gracie, shares with you the powerful secrets that have been fueling the Gracie familys tradition of excellence for more than 75 years. In this book, you will learn, not only how members of this family of athletes are living long, healthy, and energetic lives, but also how they instill self-discipline, willpower, and healthy thinking in their children. In addition, youll learn about the Gracie Way of conquering the enemy within, a vital part of their legacy.========REVIEW:Rorion Gracie is the man who brought Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to America and the world when his younger brother Royce Gracie shocked the martial arts world by becoming the first ever Ultimate Fighting Champion, and then repeated the feat over and over proving that it was no fluke. Their system of Gracie jiu-jitsu was the superior fighting style.But now, with this book, Rorion is saying that even more important to him (than jiu-jitsu) is the Gracie Diet, a simple no-nonsense approach to healthy eating.After getting the Gracie brothers started on jiu-jitsu, Roroins uncle, Carlos Gracie, then turned his attentions to developing the diet for optimum health. Though not trained at a university, Carlos read eveything he could get his hands on, on the subject, and then began experimenting via trail and error on himself and the large Gracie family as well.The results are the Gracie Diet, which consists of focusing on the most natural foods available (avoiding any kind of processed foods), lots of fruits and vegetables, with an emphasis on food combining. Carlos found that certain foods go with others and then some didnt mix with others at all, if one wanted to achieve ease in digestion, which he found greatly important.The Gracie Diet is not a diet in the normal sense of the word, its not specifically designed to help you lose weight, but it is designed to help you achieve ultimate health, and therefore overweight people will lose weight in the process.

Reviews

As a follower of the Gracie Diet from a young age, I can say that it is one of the most incredible health initiatives that the unpretentious Carlos Gracie presented us with so many years ago. Using his friends and family members as test subjects, Carlos developed a way of eating that optimized health and vitality. Rorion has done an amazing job providing readers with an insightful look into the principles and philosophy of this revolutionary diet while remaining absolute faithful to their origins. This is an incredible diet that has been refined by an incredible family over three generations. With this book, it is finally available for all to enjoy.

Joo Alberto Barreto, Jiu-Jitsu Grand Master, M.S. Clinical Psychology

The Gracie Diet is one of the most important factors in maintaining my health. Based on my personal experience, I know that if you eat purposefully, practice moderation in everything you do, and follow the guidelines in this book, I guarantee you will live a long happy life.

Professor Pedro Sauer

Some people claim that it takes at least forty years to evaluate a diet. The Gracie family has followed this diet for over eighty years with impressive results. Our parents were healthy well into their 90s. All of our family members, students, and friends who have followed the Diet are models of health and vitality. We do get sick occasionally, but not very often and, so far, have never suffered from a serious illness. This leads me to believe that the Gracie Diet may not be perfect, but it is very close.

Carlos Gracie Jr.

I started the Gracie Diet at about 45 years of age and honestly feel as good as I did in my 20s. The Gracie philosophy has had an incredibly positive impact on my life.

Jim Lona, Government Sales Manager

In order to maximize your efficiency on the mat, you must also maximize your efficiency off the mat. The Gracie Diet is the secret to success.

Ryron Gracie

Growing up on the Gracie Diet was an incredible experience. From the very beginning, every food had its purpose and every meal had meaning. As a child, learning only to eat at designated times and to properly combine my foods gave me a level of discipline that became the driving force behind every one of my accomplishments, on and off the mat. I am forever in debt to the first and second generations of Gracies for developing a system of self-defense to which I could dedicate my life, but more importantly, for showing me the secret to a long, healthy and energetic lifestyle. I am eager to have children for many reasons, but none so much as to ensure that I can pass on the tradition of healthy living to the next generation of Gracies.

Rener Gracie

Carlos created a spectacular way of eating. If all Brazilians followed it, we would all be supermen.

Jose Geraldo, Journalist/Writer

The Gracie Diet is simply sensational. I adopted the Diet in the 70s when I started training jiu-jitsu. To this day, the Diet keeps me fit, energized, and allows me to train every day.

Professor Romero Jacare Cavalcanti

In the past, I tried several diets but never stuck with any of them because they were too restrictive. With the Gracie Diet, I get to eat all my favorite foods as long as I follow the combination guidelines and correctly space my meals. Its simple, it works, and I love it!

Eve Torres, WWE Diva

When I started training Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with Grand Master Helio Gracie and his sons, not only did it change my life in terms of self-confidence, discipline, and respect, but it also had a profound impact on my health. When I adopted the Gracie Diet, I was cured of hepatitis A in record time, and I finally came to understand that you really are what you eat. More than ever, Americans need to improve their health, making the Gracie Diet an invaluable asset for all of us.

Professor Carlos Caique Elias

My greatest challenge was overcoming the fear of losing energy as a result of not eating for 4-5 hours. That fear quickly faded when I found that spacing my meals and mixing foods properly actually increased my energy and caused me to feel great all day long!

Ashkan Seyedi, Computer Hardware Engineer

We started the Gracie Diet before we were born! As soon as our mother became pregnant, our dad made sure that she only ate according to the principles of the Gracie Diet to ensure that we were growing in a healthy habitat. From birth, our parents taught us that nutrition plays a vital role in our health and that we should select and combine our foods in a rational way. Grandmaster Helio Gracie inspired us to cultivate the habit of only eating what is good for you, and to reject the accepted norm that it is ok to eat unhealthy foods once in a while. This discipline gave us the character and confidence to avoid soft drinks, candy, and junk food as children and alcohol and drugs later in life. Our unique diet disciplined our lifestyles. It not only shaped our minds and bodies, but also strengthened our family bond and inspired us to dedicate our lives to the dissemination of this philosophy through our Jiu-Jitsu schools.

Valente Brothers

Through proper food combining and meal spacing, the Gracie Diet facilitates digestion and helps maintain the bodys alkalinity for optimum health. Rorion Gracie is the right person to write this book. Not only does he have extensive knowledge of the Gracie Diet, but he has always strictly followed the concepts.
