NO MORE CALORIE COUNTING
I have good news. We are not going to be counting calories! Yes, you heard that right: no more calorie counting! For generations, people have stayed slim and healthy without ever counting calories. When we look at pictures from the turn of the century to, say, the 1950s, isnât it amazing how relatively slim everyone is? Obesity was not a widespread issue, yet no one counted calories (or anything else, for that matter, like grams of protein or carbs). They also didnât eat all the processed foods and low-fat, low-calorie âdietâ foods!
Calorie counting is a truly modern invention, and it is not the only way. Thank goodness, because it is so restrictive and makes for a miserable way to manage our weight! Furthermore, just counting calories wonât ensure that you eat foods to promote beauty or help you cleanse your body of aging, acidic sludge. We do want to eat fewer calories in general to maintain our health and weight, but the great news is that we donât have to obsess over it. When you fuel your body with quality, nutritious foods, it happens naturally.
Now, you may be wondering, Okay, but how much do I eat, then? Most of us are so out of touch with our true hunger needs, and how much fuel our bodies actually require, that we have no sense of when weâre truly hungry or full. As we begin to cleanse the body, our systems will start to optimally absorb nutrients, and we will start feeling full faster. Simultaneously, we will shift into consuming mostly nutrient-dense and fiber-filled foods, which will allow us to get the nutrition with far fewer calories, anyway whether we are consciously counting or not.

BEAUTY TIP
Be Prepared!
Eat Alkaline First is an important principle to follow. I know we all have busy lives, and it may not always be possible to toss a green salad together before your main meal. So how do you stick to the Beauty Detox while eating out and while traveling? Just plan ahead. For instance, if you are going to a Chinese restaurant for lunch with your coworkers and you know you may have a hard time finding raw vegetables there, prepare ahead of time. Keep some carrots or celery on hand, and eat that within the hour before lunch. When I travel and I know I will be eating less than optimally, I always carry some clementines or carrot sticks that I can eat to make sure I coat my belly first. I also like buying containers of baby spinach, which are easy to grab out of the fridge and knosh on in a pinch when I am preparing something else, or I can also make a very simple salad with it in about thirty seconds.

In Part 2, Your Beauty Solution, I provide portion guidelines to get you started. But it is not the purpose of this book to provide you with the minutiae of specific grams of foods and calories you should be eating. These numbers are forever changing depending on which âdietâ you are followingâ¦not to mention that theyâre ridiculously confusing! And we all know that calorie counting doesnât work in a consistent way for the long term: there is always that disheartening yo-yo with the scale.
Instead, letâs use broader terms for choosing our foods and their quantitiesânot just numbers. As long as we follow our 80 percent alkaline-20 percent acidic food rule, we willbe consuming fewer calories in general, since our concentrated, calorically dense foods will be reduced overall. Have you
