Crazy Sexy Diet: Eat Your Veggies, Ignite Your Spark, and Live Like You Mean It! by Kris Carr

3.0

Due to the re-emergence of health issues I'm back to completely overhauling my diet. This book is my basis for doing so this time around. Though I found the writing style a bit too "girlfriends having coffee" (if that can be a description!) the information was great and the diet plan makes sense. Predominantly Carr suggests a diet that will not create an acidic environment in your body and will therefore be hostile to all the bad bacteria and fungus that make us so sick. Her program is also forgiving. She asks you to eat the "right" foods 60-80 percent of the time, depending on your goals and allows you some leeway for eating the not so good stuff. The basic diet involves very few to no animal products, no sugar, no gluten and a focus on plant based foods. She is a proponent of juicing, though I'm not too sure about the actual benefits. It seems like juice is high in sugars and eliminates the healthy fibre. She's also into green smoothies, which I'm trying to get on board with. Carr sets out a 21 day plan to get you started and detoxified from your sugar and refined carb laden diet. I'm on day 1...we'll see how it goes.
