Lastly, if you haven’t yet heard of Kris Carr, I would like to make the formal introduction now. Kris is a Cancer survivor who has transformed the way she eats, lives and views the world and it all started with a low-glycemic, vegetarian diet. Her program focuses on balancing the pH of the body with whole and raw foods, organic green drinks, and smoothies. If this sounds complicated – trust me, she explains it much better than I ever could! Her New Book Crazy Sexy Diet debunks diet myths, shares tips on how to detox safely, and even how to grocery shop! It is witty, accessible, powerful, and beautifully illustrated. Enough said.
