Its all about the Diet

There are three ways to alkalize the body for optimum health. Diet alone, alkaline water alone or diet and alkaline water.

My friend Jill was depressed, over weight and unhealthy. About 10 years ago she decided to radically transform her life. She started to exercise by walking on a tread mill. She became a vegan, which means she cut out all animal products from her diet including, milk, eggs, butter and honey. Jill lost 100 pounds in a short amount of time. She had just lost the weight right before I met her so I'm not exactly sure how long it took to lose it but it was less than a year.

She ate lots of salads and avocados which are very alkalizing. She would also eat things like french fries which are not healthy or alkalizing but over all she ate more good foods than bad. It was intresting to go out to eat with her because she always had to ask the waiter lots of questions about what was in a dish and what it was cooked in and things like that. She was always polite and always had an idea of what she could eat at most places. I remember how betrayed she felt when she found out that McDonalds put beef products in their french fries. Jill didn't know anything about alkaline ionized water, so she is a perfect example of someone who changed their life by alkalizing there body through diet with wonderful results. She is now happy, healthy and fit.

I visited the new Whole Foods Market in Tustin yesterday. It is MASSIVE. Their produce department is like nothing I've ever seen. Prices seemd pretty high though. One raw cookie costs $3. I'm glad I can make my own!

6 16-oz. Glasses of Alkaline ionized water.

1.15.08
Exercise—20 minutes on rebounder
Breakfast---Blueberry Smoothie
Lunch---Neat Balls page 108 The Raw Food Gourmet: Going Raw for Total Well-Being
Snack-- 1 chocolate covered cherry cookie
4 16-oz. glasses of Ionized water

1.16.08
Exercise---15 minutes on rebounder, 50 crunches. I’m laying off the crunches a little because they are causing the muscles in my neck to get so tight I can hardly turn my neck to the left side.

Breakfast---Blueberry Smoothie
Snack—homemade flax crackers and salsa, 1 neat ball, page 108 The Raw Food Gourmet: Going Raw for Total Well-Being spread with Black Pepper cheese page 161 of Ani's Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes This cheese is made with chashew nuts and is so good that sometimes I scoop it upand eat it with my fingers!

Lunch---1 Tamale 2 lavender sodas. I had not intention of drinking two sodas, but my son opened one, took a sip and handed me the rest. I was raised by my grandparents who grew up in the depression, so I was taught to never waste anything. Unfortunately, with 19 grams of sugar each, that probably went to my waist.

Dinner---A beautiful Kale and red cabbage coleslaw page 94, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes, 1 tiny sweet corn cake tamale and ½ a pumpkin raisin tamale. And some home made lavender berry sorbet that I will publish the recipe soon.
I only had about 4 glasses of Ionized water today.

Because I am cooking or creating food for one, it takes me a little longer to eat up the recipes than it will when Ronnie joins me on the diet. He's getting very tempted by the food.
