Would you like to lose weight and have more energy?
If you want to immediately change how you look, feel, think, and sleep, change your diet and you will change your biochemistry. It’s simple and will be worth all the insignificant feelings of sacrifice and depravation.
A 10-Day Change That Will Make You Feel Great!
Let’s first try to understand why this might be of value to you and your health. The body is a system that is affected by many things, but especially diet, exercise, and food. Let’s look at a simple example of how this works:
In the movie “Super Size Me” a normal healthy man with good health volunteers to eat only from fast food chains. Within 30 days blood test results showed high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and had the early stages of kidney failure.
On the other hand, when you eat very healthy in a short period of time you can feel much better. This concept of food, health, and biochemistry is not new. In 1930, Dr. Andrew Werber won a Nobel peace prize for his research on how viruses, bacteria, and cancer, could not grow when the blood pH is alkaline. This means eating lots of fruits and vegetables, less meat and processed foods. As you can see by this research the health of the body is greatly affected by what you eat.
Almost all fruits and vegetables make the blood more alkaline. Most protein foods, grain, and dairy products convert to push the blood ph more acidic. If you follow this concept, it will help your body naturally cleanse and detoxify itself and keep the alkalinity in the normal range. By regulating the blood pH, your health, energy, and vitality will greatly improve.
Jump-Start Plan
For the next 10 days, eat 80% of your diet as fruits and vegetables. The other 20% can be proteins and grains. This 80/20 ratio mimics natural blood chemistry where the blood pH is more alkaline. An easy way to think about this is having 8 portions of fruits and vegetables daily and 2 portions of proteins or grains. This type of diet stops inflammation, detoxifies cells, cleanses the blood and liver, and revitalizes the body energy. This can be done for long periods of time.
Your new best friends are anything green, orange, yellow, red, and purple. Foods with lots of color indicate lots of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are fabulous tasting and naturally sweet. Fruit and raw vegetables are an easy, on the go snack that can be found in any supermarket and already cut up and ready to enjoy. Vegetables are great raw, steamed, stir fried, and baked. You can eat tons of them, in all shapes and forms with minimal calorie intake. They keep for days in the refrigerator, reheat easily, and make great snacks that will truly satisfy hunger.
You can make this diet simple by eating lots of salads and vegetables for lunch and dinner. Even if you’re eating out in restaurants, I recommend ordering 2 sides of cooked vegetables and adding a little olive oil, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese to make them delicious. If you’re still hungry, add in a great salad. I guarantee you will feel full and satisfied.
As hard as it seems in the beginning, the results and benefits of eating like this will be immediate. Quickly you will feel lighter, happier, and more clear-headed. After you have tried eating this way for a while you may consider a modified version of this diet as a permanent life style change.
