Crazy Sexy Diet: Eat Your Veggies, Ignite Your Spark, and Live Like You Mean It! (6 page)

There’s more, baby. When you understand why eating green and clean works at a cellular level,
your enthusiasm for the Crazy Sexy Diet will grow like beans up a pole. Science is sexy and exciting! I’ll explain why a plant-based diet is a great way to eat on so many levels—for health, bliss, beauty, even your purse. You may well lose fat on this diet, too, but that’s just one of the fabulous side effects. Eventually you’ll find your perfect fighting weight and forget about it because you’ll be too busy enjoying newfound vitality and zest. That’s because the Crazy Sexy Diet is not a temporary fix or a part-time hobby. It’s a luscious lifestyle—a loss of dis-ease, a health gain program that is meant to last a long lifetime.

By increasing the amount of raw and living foods and organic green juices and green smoothies in your diet while decreasing or (ideally) eliminating processed sugars, refined starches, animal products high in saturated fat, stimulants, and too much cooked food, you shift from an acidic interior environment to one that’s alkaline- and oxygen-drenched. Yummy. This allows your magnificent body to recover from the constant barrage of stress and inflammation created by the Standard American Diet (aptly abbreviated as SAD) and lifestyle. Once your body repairs, it will renew. Eating this way is a miracle on your plate. The domino effect that occurs will influence every nook and cranny of your life.
