Jumpstart your metabolism
Start the morning with an avocado, cucumber, and tomato to change your pH level to be more alkaline. Keeping your body naturally aligned requires eating more alkalizing food that balances all the acidifying foods like sugar, fruit, and artificial sweeteners.
Most foods that we eat are acidic because they are the foods that are sweetened or full of preservatives while the foods that are alkaline are vegetables and a few fruits like avocado, tomato, and limes. Watermelon is your friend when it comes to fruit, it has an almost neutral pH level. Watermelon is a star!
Weight loss is a result of your body being in balance. When your body is not in balance the body uses it natural defense of storing food for later use, this becomes fat because the body stores fat for a "rainy day" In addition to eating more alkaline foods, always drink your gallon of water per day

Addiction
Did you know that one of the most addictive substances known to man also happens to be in most foods and it is legal? Dr Robert Lusting states that sugar has the same effect on our brain as cocaine. That is just plain scary and gives good reason to break the cycle of addiction. If there is one thing that you can give up that will have significant impact upon your health it has to be sugar. Sugar can sap calcium from your bones and cause early onset osteoporosis. Estimates show that we consume close to 130 pounds of sugar a year. Fact: The USDA states that the average American consumes 156 pounds of added sugar. An article was written in Forbes magazine about how we are basically killing ourselves with sugar and that we are just scratching the surface of the effects of sugar on our bodies. Don't let this monster control your life, remove as many forms of sugar from your diet and you will be amazed at the results.
