Add-on For Week 2

Hello Everyone! 

Here's a list of the acid forming foods to avoid and a recipe for the alkaline broth for anyone interested.

ACID-FORMING FOODS TO AVOID

Meats: beef, pork, bacon, sausages, burgers, ham, all process meats

All refined, packaged foods including most breakfast cereals that contain sugar
Wine, beer, and spirits, carbonated drinks, cows milk
Fried food, bbq foods
Green bananas
White bread, white flour
Non-organic eggs, ice cream, margarine
Salt and salted peanuts
Cookies and cakes, snack foods, refined pasta

ALKALINE BROTH

Choose a combination of the following vegetables equaling approximately 1 1/2 - 2 cups:

1/3 root veggies (sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes, beets, carrots, etc.)
1/3 non-starchy, crunchy vegetables (celery, green beans, zucchini, onions)
1/3 leafy vegetables (spinach, collard greens, parsley, kale, etc.)

Place vegetables in a soup pot with a significant amount of filtered water (more than enough to cover.)  Bring to a boil and let them simmer for 45 minutes.  Strain and keep the broth.  You may drink as much of this broth as you want during the program.  Try to drink at least one cup a day.  This recipe will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.  Do not freeze and defrost. Make fresh as needed.

Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous weather!
