Today is National Chocolate Covered Anything Day.
I don't know how this holiday got started, but I DO know a lot of chocolate lovers that are going to be on Cloud 9 today.
I also suspect that there are many die-hard dieters out there that don't even want to THINK about chocolate touching their lips...because they fear it will be forever on the hips. Or they'll suffer with pain.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
"What?!" you say. "I thought you were all about healthy eating."
Yes, I am.
But when you ditch the diets and live a healthier lifestyle, you CAN occasionally partake in indulgences that are not-so-good for you. Because like success in most things, fanaticism isn't necessary...moderation is the key to health and happiness.
Here's what I mean:
Alkaline = healthy in EVERY way
When a good portion of your plate is made up of alkaline foods, and you drink lots of water (at least 5-8 cups per day) and eat foods that digest easily together, your body's pH can become and stay more alkaline.
And your level of suffering and yo-yo dieting can be a thing of the past.
It's not rocket science.
Unless you were very sick at birth, you were born with an alkaline pH because that's how your body works best.
So when you eat in a way that encourages an alkaline state, your body can naturally be healthy. It can shed excess pounds easily and keep them off. It can resist infections, viruses and diseases better.
And it bounces back from an occasional acid-forming indulgence MUCH easier.
Now, most foods and drinks that people consider to be indulgences are extremely acid-forming. For example: ice cream, cake, pie, cookies, candy, coffee and CHOCOLATE.
But when you have them just now and then, and you're in an alkaline state to begin with, your body gets back into balance very quickly.
On the other hand, if you have them several times a week, or your four food groups are Starbucks, Cinnabon, Ben & Jerry's and Doritos, you can forget about having a healthy pain-free body.
You'll see pigs fly first.
Have your cake and eat it too
In the Great Taste No Pain system, or for those of you with a gluten challenge, Great Taste No Gluten I'll teach you how to enjoy sweet treats without suffering with pain or packing on the pounds.
There's even a dessert chapter in the recipe books for both systems filled with some of my favorite indulgences!
Some people have asked, "Why do you have desserts in a healthy recipe book?"
Because Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten are meant to be an enjoyable lifestyle that stresses mainly alkaline foods made to taste wonderful -- NOT a deprivation diet.
Yes, the recipes and principles in both systems do stress healthy eating and maintaining an alkaline pH.
But living this lifestyle is also meant to be fun -- not drudgery!
Unlike 98% of all cookbooks ever published, ALL of my recipes are positively delicious -- the entrees, salads, soups, breads, vegetables...and of course the desserts.
Let's face it--most everyone enjoys a slice of pie on a holiday or a piece of cake at a birthday party.
Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten show you how you can enjoy dessert or other "treats" and without suffering with pain or extra pounds.
For example, I enjoy a piece of cake at birthdays, sweet potato pie on Thanksgiving, a hot fudge sundae after a black belt test, eggnog and cookies at Christmas and frozen tropical drinks on vacation!
And I don't feel guilty about a single one of them. I stay pain-free, my weight doesn't change, I know my body will recover quickly from my indulgence and my pH will remain alkaline.
Moderation is the key, my friend. Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten show you exactly what to do to indulge your "craving" and still remain pain-free and the same weight...
On National Chocolate Covered Anything Day and the other 364 days a year.

Sherry,
I have been eating the Great Taste No Pain way for the last month. I mostly was fascinated with this way of eating since I am over weight and have tried to stay on lots of diets, but for some reason or another I always was frustrated having to deny myself of certain foods. I just ended up gaining more weight.
I LOVE this way of eating. I have lost 10 pounds and my energy level has gone up. My joints have also stopped hurting.
Thanks to your plan I feel more educated on the foods I now combine and eat.
I tried your Brownie recipe and it is to DIE for!
Thanks again,
Joyce G.
