Back in the mid 20's, Carlos Gracie realized the important correlation between good health and good performance. As the oldest member of a family dedicated to the art of jiu-jitsu, even though he was not a doctor, Carlos decided to concentrate his efforts in finding a way to keep his family in top condition so that they may be ready to defend the Gracie challenge against anybody, anytime, anywhere.
He spent 65 years doing an empirical research, which included reading the works of doctors, scientists, nutrition experts, etc., while using himself and the members of his unusually large family as "guinea pigs", until he eventually organized a regimen - The Gracie Diet - that has provided incredible results to everyone who experiences it.
The Gracie Diet is not a fad diet that will restrict your eating habits, causing you to suffer for a while until you lose some weight, and then when the time is up, gain all the weight back, then some. Instead, this reeducation program will take you on a lifestyle change, a new perspective on how you will look at what you eat. Time to stop eating to fill up your belly, and start eating to nourish your body!
You will not stop enjoying the pleasure of eating. The difference, is that from here on out, you will know what foods combine with what and those which should not be mixed with anything else. Something as harmless as a glass of orange juice, or a scoop of your favorite ice cream, could be messing up your digestion in ways you will never know until you try the Gracie Way. Let's take this journey together!
Physical exercise – and especially its relationship to diet – is an important but commonly misunderstood component of a healthy lifestyle. The most common misconception is that you must adopt a rigorous workout routine in order to lose weight. How the body reacts to different types of exercises depends on many factors. The key is to find the right exercise for you. More is not necessarily better. The idea that weight control is linked to exercise is seemingly obvious. In all areas of our lives, we see that work brings results and hard work usually brings even better results. But with regard to weight control, research proves that more is not better.

The Gracie Diet Makes Food Do What It's Supposed to DoI have always been active and involved in athletics, and considered myself a healthy person, but my "healthy" eating would often leave me with stomach pains and discomfort. So much so, that I sought the advice of doctors, who told me that I possibly suffered from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) or Crohn's Disease (which my mother has). When tests didn't reveal any specific diagnosis, they told me I should stock up on Pepto Bismol? and sent me on my way. At this point, I just accepted these issues as a part of my life. read more >

I Have So Much EnergySince starting The Gracie Diet, I have noticed a huge change in the way I view the food I eat. I now keep track of what I eat and how often I am eating. I have also quit drinking alcohol. This has been one of my greatest accomplishments! I have so much energy from the increased amounts of fruits and vegetables I am eating. I don't feel weighed down or bloated when exercising. I am able to work more efficiently throughout the day and train in the evening. read more >

The Best Thing I've Done In My Adult LifeI wanted to write to you to tell you about my experience so far with the Gracie Diet. I think it is the best thing I've started doing in my adult life. Since leaving home, and my mother's wonderful cooking, as an eighteen year old, my diet has been anything but healthy. Like most college kids, at first it was all ramen noodles, Kraft macaroni, and pizza. This was definitely not good for me and I knew it. read more >

Without Good Health, Nothing Else MattersA few years ago, I walked into the Gracie Academy in Torrance to find out more about Jiu Jitsu. I had been watching some of the videos showing how it was superior to all other kinds of martial arts. It was truly an amazing experience. I soon learned more than how to defend myself I learned a whole new way to eat. I was at least 30 pounds overweight at that time. read more >

A Cleaner, Healthier, Leaner BodyThe biggest misnomer about the word 'diet' is the instant association with the concept of 'losing weight'. In fact, this may be the last thing that the Gracie Diet is all about. My initial introduction came when we had a philosophy class, in which GM Rorion spoke about the foundation, reasoning and concepts behind the decades-old diet that his uncle had developed. read more >

Gracie Diet as part of a musician lifestyleI have decided to "tell my story" about the Gracie Diet and how it changed my life. As a kid, I have always heard about the Gracie Family. We are all musicians in my family; I actually belong to the 4th generation. Most of us, including my dad, are, very far from having a healthy life in terms of alimentary habits. I had many examples of how bad habits had seriously affected some members of my family's health as well as some fellow musicians, which made me understand the dangerous consequences of it, read more >

Mediterranean x GracieHi, my name is Francesco and I am pleased to share my experience about the Gracie Diet. I have started it three years ago and I honestly say that it had, and still has, a powerful impact in my life. I am talking in terms of quality of life. Firstable, I am from Italy, well known around the world for its Mediterranean Diet which is not bad at all, especially regarding the high quality of foods, but has a crucial lack: the food combinations. read more >
