The Guerrilla Guide to the Alkaline Diet

I've received a fair amount of emails asking how I was able to lose the weight so fast and decided to put together an extremely simplified and basic plan to the Alkaline Diet.  Please note that the key component to my success was pain. 

Anthony Robbins always talks about pain vs. pleasure.  In order for me to make this work, I created a state of mind of "enough is enough" and the pain of continuing my existing diet of eating whatever I perceived tasted good and relieved stress, was worse than eating healthy and improving my body through healthy eating. 

Until you can create enough pain with your current lifestyle choices, you will never be able to make a massive change.  And as we all know, Massive Results are only obtained by Massive Change!  There are no short cuts in life.

The Guerrilla Guide to the Alkaline Diet

1. Motivate yourself to live longer and stop killing your cells!
2. Drink a ton of water!  If you can, drink 2 to 3 litters of water a day.
3. Eat Alkalizing Food, and avoid Acidic Foods at all costs!
4. Buy a Juicer.
5. Make a great Vegetable Juice every morning for breakfast to kick start your day!
6. Have a Salad for lunch!
7. Go for a walk after dinner.

That's it, of course if you would like recipes, motivation, and explanation to why this works, and why Acid forming foods will cause candida, sickness, cancer, and death, buy The pH Miracle!  Below is a sample of foods you can eat, and a list of things you can't.

Foods that you can eat (Alkalizing)
Have as much as these as you want, stuff your face with them!

• Vegetables
  Spinach, wheat grass, chlorella, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, cucumber, lettuce, courgette, cabbage, greens, squash (summer, butternut, yellow etc), peppers, chilli, tomato, onion, garlic, chickpeas, pinto beans, kidney beans, spring onion, root ginger, eggplant, lettuce, spinach, nuts (aside from peanuts and cashews), seeds, avocado, lentils
• Herbs & Spices
  Basil, parsley, mint, coriander, ginger, cumin etc.
• Essential Fats
  Avocado Oil, Flax/Linseed, Evening Primrose, Olive Oil
• Fruits
  Lemons, Lime, Grapefruit, Watermelon, Tomato, Avocado.  No other fruits.
• Grasses
  Wheat, barley, kamut, lemon, shave etc.
• Dips and Sauces
  Pesto, hummus, tahini, guacamole etc.

Foods that you cannot eat or drink! (Acidic Forming)

• Sugar
• Dairy Products
• Meat and Poultry
• Caffeine
• Tobacco
• Alcohol
• Wheat (aside from sprouts or wheatgrass)
• Fruit (apart from those mentioned above)
• 'Bad' fats (saturated, trans fatty acids, hydrogenated)
• Processed foods
• Fizzy drinks
• Peanuts and Cashews 
• Pasta and White Rice
• Condiments

Follow this plan, and you will drop weight.  There are hundreds of other things you should incorporate into this new lifestyle; however they are all covered in the book.  Some additional things I did to lose weight faster:

1. Although you are technically allowed to eat 20 to 30 percent acidic foods, I have kept my ratio to 95% alkalizing, and 5% acidic.
2. Make sure the water you drink is good water!  Reverse Osmosis is probably the easiest to find that works well for the body.  Make sure it’s not sitting around forever however, or it will lose its healing power.
3. Do not exercise more than 15 minutes if you are pushing hard!  You WILL make your body more acidic and will not help.  Why do you think so many people plateau, and work out hours a day.
4. Absolutely no caffeine or alcohol!
5. Buy Organic when possible!  The cost is worth it to your body!
6. Do a Colon Cleansing, buy Dr. Natura Colon Cleanse!  Very easy to do, take 2 pills in the morning, 15 minutes later you drink a special drink that cleans your intestine, and at night drink a tea before bed.  If you can, for the first three days of doing this, have only juices!

That's it, that's the high level plan of what I followed for about 3 weeks to lose 30 pounds!  I'm hoping to lose more in the next few weeks but expect results to slow as I start getting to my ideal weight of 165.

Good Luck!

I caught a fabulous cookery programme on Channel Four called Cook Yourself Thin. How did I ever miss this? I’ ve been a workaholic for way too long! The presenters are young, fun and funky. Much better than stuffy Nigella and Nick.

Hi,
I'm new at alkalizing my body. How do I get enough protein with my meals?

[Healthy Juices]

Healthy Juices I discovered them on a trip to Costa Rica, a beautiful tropical country where they have juices drinks all day long, all year long. My favorite one I tried there was the Mango juice. For those of you who haven’t heard from it, mango is a deliciously sweet orange yellowy tropical fruit.
