Excerpt: 'Crazy Sexy Diet' by Kris Carr

The Crazy Sexy Diet is flexible. You'll enjoy healthier cooked food in smaller amounts. The acidic portions of your diet can include some animal products, but once you read how detrimental they can be to your health (and the planet), and how you don't really miss them, you may reconsider.

And remember: Not all vegans are healthy. Even the most ethically conscious people can suffer from eating too many processed or overly acidic foods. French fries, Fritos, white bread and pasta, Pop-Tarts, Kool-Aid, Crisco, and many sugary treats are vegan, but they aren't exactly healthy. I call these misinformed veg-heads "muffin vegetarians." When I eat like a muffin vegetarian, I develop what is known as a "muffin top"—a puffy tube of blubber that hangs over my jeans. These well-meaning souls junk up on crap and excessive amounts of soy, and wonder why they're tired, fat, and sniffly. A vibrant and effective vegan or vegetarian diet means that the majority of your food is real and comes from . . . vegetables! (Duh.)
