The Alkalarian Diet Plan (Page 4 of 11) in pdf

Transitioning to an alkaline diet requires a shift in one’s attitude about food.

It is helpful to explore new tastes and textures while making small changes

and improving old habits. The following guidelines help one to understand

why these changes are necessary.

The Guidelines

Don’t let breakfast slow you down.

An energizing breakfast for many people new to the Alkalizing diet is millet or brown, basmati rice with

fresh avocado, tomato slices, soaked almonds, sunflower sprouts and flax oil. In contrast, most foods

and beverages people choose to begin the day do not increase energy. breakfast cereals, sweet rolls,

toast, pancakes, waffles, muffins, oatmeal, maple syrup, honey, coffee, orange juice, etc., contain huge

amounts of sugars and simple carbohydrates which over-acidify the blood and tissues. Even high-protein

breakfast foods like eggs, sausage, bacon, omelets, etc., compromise the terrain and ultimately promote

the growth of yeast and fungi.

2. Go for the green!

SuperGreens is one way of adding 49 different greens to your daily diet. Fresh vegetables and grasses

are very cleansing, high in fiber, an excellent source of alkaline salts, and are anti-yeast, anti-fungal, and

anti-mycotoxic as well. Vegetables should be included with breakfast, lunch and dinner, in addition to

three teaspoons of SuperGreens Powder mixed with at least 3 quarts of water per day. Although fruit is

also a source of nutrients and fiber, the high sugar content (fructose) of fruit stimulates yeast and fungal

growth. It may be eaten between meals (as a snack) when in season, and when one is “in balance” - all

symptoms have subsided.

3. Less carbohydrates, more vegetables.

Good, low carbohydrate vegetables include asparagus, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage,

carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, eggplant, green beans, green peppers, spinach, kale, lettuce,

okra, onions, garlic, parsley, radishes, and squash. About 80% of all meals should be fresh, raw, alkaliz-

ing vegetables. Complex carbohydrates are highly acid-forming in the body and should not exceed 20%

of the diet, so eat them in moderation. Starchy grains and legumes may become moldy when stored and

contain fungus, so try to eat them fresh. Amaranth, spelt, quinoa, buckwheat, and millet, are the best

choices of grains, especially when sprouted.

4. Sprout it out.

Some of the best foods to eat are sprouts. Sprouted seeds become more alkaline as they grow. They

are live plant foods that are “biogenic,” which means they transfer their life energy to us. Sprouts can

easily be grown in your kitchen during any season, or purchased at the market. Be sure to check the

bottom for brown or soggy stems as they should be eaten only when fresh.

5. No more acid-forming foods!

Acid-forming foods you should avoid are animal products (which include meat and milk products), refined

grains, yeast products, and most fruits. Also: pork, veal, most fish, beef, organ meats, chicken, turkey,

eggs, shrimp, lobster, oysters, hot dogs, corned beef, pastrami, pepperoni, rice, potatoes, pasta, breads,

cheeses, milk, buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream, butter, margarine, mushrooms of all kinds,

algae, corn products, peanut products, coffee, tea, wine, beer, soda pop, cider, soy sauce, ketchup,

mayonnaise, vinegar, tempeh, sugar, artificial sweeteners, candy, gum, pies, cakes, donuts, and choco-

late – just to name a few.

6. Try meatless protein.

The average American consumes one and a half to four times the amount of protein required by the

body. These protein-rich diets are comprised primarily of meat, cheese, milk, ice cream, and other

products that contain not only protein, but saturated fat and cholesterol. Our bodies are only 7% protein

and human mother’s milk is only 5% protein (i.e., better suited to the body’s protein requirements than

protein-rich cow’s milk). The American Dietetic Association states that a vegetarian diet can provide the
