There’s much dietary confusion around these days. And a lot of people just give up, “There’s nothing you can eat these days.” “Everything is bad for you apparently.” “One day potatoes are good, the next day bad. One day butter is good, the next, eat margarine.”
The combination of the above facts is a recipe for confusion. Experts can see people are confused and so every expert decides to solve the problem by writing a book. More confusion because the nutrition experts don’t agree even on the fundamentals.
But I can tell you here and now that there’s ONE most important factor that’s overlooked when discussing nutrition. Understanding this one factor can explain a lot of the confusion “out there.”
For example — why does the China Study suggest that animal foods are the root of all evil and yet tribal people all over the world with diets very high in animal foods are largely free of Western diseases like cancer, heart disease and diabetes — our BIG killers? That makes no sense except in the light of “The Most Important Diet Factor.”
This is the big factor that if you get right will have a dramatic influence on your health and longevity, as well as your moment-to-moment experience of life.
YOUR DIET NEEDS TO BE ALKALI FORMING
Well, all foods leave either an acid or an alkali (base) residue or “ash” in your body. It’s largely due to the mineral content of the food.
If you think about the Chinese, they have a diet based on grain which is an acid-forming food. Add more acid forming stuff in the form of meat and sure enough, it’s going to show an increase of disease with even just a little bit of animal foods added in.
Think about tribal people — they eat lots of animal foods BUT they also tend to eat the alkali forming parts of the animal too. And also, they eat a huge amount of vegetation to make the overall diet alkali forming!
BINGO!
Since making your diet alkaline is the “most important factor,” you need to focus on fruits and vegetables because they are the alkali-forming foods. It’s pretty simple really.
You need a diet that has large amounts of fruits and vegetables in it. 5-a-day doesn’t cut it in my humble opinion. The longest lived people on the planet (the elderly Okinawans) get around about 13 portions a day if memory serves. That, and the fact that they have a cultural practice of hari hachi bu — eating until only 80% full, I think, accounts for their excellent longevity.
People don’t seem to be relishing their fruits and vegetables. When I first started “getting into” nutrition many moons ago, I was a typical guy who struggled to eat one apple a day and ate only a few bits of veg with my evening meal.
Nowadays it’s a different story and although it wasn’t easy to change my tastes, now I absolutely love the way I eat. It’s about gradually changing your palette and that doesn’t happen overnight.
See your target clearly — what’s the finishing line? Plan out what you think a typical day could look like when you’re getting around 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Then you can slowly work towards your goal with confidence.
If you need help then I’ve done it all for you. The Habit Guide Diet solves the problems of eating well in the modern world. It has the most important factor covered as well as all the other factors. And it will also show you how to personalize your diet depending on your own personal beliefs and ethics.
Because the truth is there isn’t a one-size-fits-all diet. But there are common threads that should be in everyone’s diet and one of those is the overall alkalinity.
The Habit Guide Diet is also incredibly simple to do. You know — a cow eats grass and monkeys eat bananas.
Super-charge your health and get the Habit Guide Diet plan working for you. Not only does it cover all the bases, but it’s simple to do and will get you into healthy habits so you never have to think about what to eat ever again. You just get some healthy food out of the fridge and eat it, like a human should.
You know it makes sense.
I hurt for 13 years. It was hell... torture... feeling very bad for a very long time. And that had a devastating effect on every aspect of my life.
With the little energy and focus I had, I hunted for answers. In fact I spent twenty YEARS trawling for answers. You can just imagine the trying, and stumbling, the desperation and frustration...
But now I've seen BOTH extremes of life... from wanting to die every day to the joy of health and happiness. The truth is that all my suffering drives me with a passion to help you not to suffer. Why I can't say, because it's just there, in me.
So don't make the same mistakes I did. Life is too short... I want you to feel good without falling into the pitfalls. I have this knowledge now and I would love you to have it.
It's all laid out for you in a simple step-by-step guide...
