 Heading Toward Vegan.... September 22, 2004 10:07 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Topic: a typical day? http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=118&pst=25176 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm actually heading back toward vegan now (approaching full circle after being a vegetarian for over a decade starting in college) by adopting an "alkalarian" approach to eating, and when I don't cheat, I feel just great! :-) (After years of *not* feeling well, as both a vegetarian and an omnivore, this has been a huge relief.) The "alkalarian" dietary principles are really simple: -- low quantities of proteins and carbohydrates -- high quantities of good natural, unsaturated fats -- high quantities of greens and high water content vegetables -- super hydration with 1 liter of "structured" (super alkaline) water per 30 lbs of body weight daily An ideal meal includes: -- 75% vegetables, primarily green and raw (a salad, "raw" soup or lightly steamed veggies is the ideal centerpiece for your meal) -- 25% whole, natural carbs -OR- protein (never both at the same time) You can read more about alkalarian eating here: ` Getting Started: http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=1407&pst=24107 ` Alkaline foods: http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=1407&pst=24049 If you're interested in more detail, I've compiled 2 email messages that summarize: ` my alkalizing regimen (a typical day), and ` my favorite alkalizing recipes. If you'd like copies of either (or both), just email me: http://alkaline-health.com Hope this helps! Metta P.S. One of the great benefits of this strategy is that the super alkaline water really can help to change your taste preferences: within a week of beginning to drink the structured water, I started craving greens! Quite amazing, actually, since I never really cared for salads....  [ send green star]
