Have you ever read a book and wish you had written it? That’s what happened when I devoured Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr, which has sat on the top ten NY Times bestseller list for the past two weeks since publication. Why? It’s fun and sexy and personable and inspires you to incorporate the healthiest foods that nature provides to feel and look amazing. Think you already eat super healthy? There’s still something in this book for you, which covers so much more than what you put in your mouth.

Whenever people declare, “I could never give up animal products or junk food,” I always respond, “If you have a good enough reason to, you can do anything.” Well, Kris Carr had a darn good reason: a rare liver cancer that forced her on a health journey that has inspired thousands through TV, film, books, and her website not just to help treat disease but to prevent it and be the best-functioning, happiest selves they can be. Here’s how Kris describes her program:

The Crazy Sexy Diet is a low-fat, vegetarian (or vegan) program that reduces inflammation and balances the pH of your gorgeous body with whole foods, low-glycemic fruits, raw veggies, alkalizing green drinks, and superpowered smoothies. On the CSD I encourage you to reduce or, better yet, eliminate all animal products, refined sugars and processed crap, and anything (other than an exotic vegetable) you can’t pronounce. By decreasing the amount of acidic foods you eat, you give your body the chance to heal and repair naturally.

Your new mantra: Clean food in and waste out. An alkaline diet has the power to release stored bullshit and toxins and truly set you free. As a result-and this is important-your pH comes into balance as does your overall health, your sinuses clear (and so do your zits), your taste buds resuscitate, your eyes sparkle, the dimples on your thighs will be gone (bye-bye!), sex will be better (ooohhh!), and so will your memory (especially good when you dig the person you have sex with), and your elimination system will work like a Ferrari (vroom!).

I can’t think of a better way to gear up for Valentine’s Day than to treat your body like the crazy sexy life and love machine that it is.

This week your mission is to set your timer to five minutes and read as much of the first chapter of the book as you can and be inspired. Then, if you like it, order it! You won’t be sorry.

Happy healthy crazy sexy,

Marisa
