Alkaline Foods

Does anyone eat alkaline? I have been doing so for several months now and have never felt better. It's an interesting concept if you enjoy your greens and such. :)

They use that in batteries, don't they?

I eat what I am hungry for, I don't plan anything. Red meat is supossedly bad for you, milk as well, eggs puredeath. But I happily drink two liters of milk a day, eat two eggs, and will eat rare steak whenever I can

I eat foods as you post on cheat days. It is hard to turn down a home cooked meal when you visit your parents! Ha ha. I do drink some milk every day as well. I am looking forward to trying soy nuts for a snack as I get the muchies from time to time and sunflower seeds just don't cut it.

As for my steaks, I like them to moo! :D

That's how a good steak should be, thick, bloody, barely alive

That diet Coke is going to be the death of you. Go back to real thing.

The 'real thing' is jam-packed full of calories. 150 per can compared to 1 per can from Diet Coke. Let's say GC has around 6 cans, so 2 litres per day, that is 900 calories to 6 calories. All that is before we factor in all those bean and cheese burritos... so 4 chocolate bars worth.

There is also more health risks involved then there are with aspartame.

Obviously, if you want the health answer, it would be "drink more clean water" opposed to more coca-cola, but recommending going to 'regular coke' is the wrong direction.

Yumm! smoothies!

A place up here has one with mainly berries (boring) and beets! Pulverized beets are pretty tasty :) Drinking these things makes me feel like I snorted a line of coke, better for me and much cheaper!
