Infused with Kris Carr’s signature sass, wit, and advice-from-the-trenches style, Crazy Sexy Diet is a beautifully illustrated resource that puts you on the fast track to vibrant health and happiness. This new journey into a realm vital to anyone’s health comes on the heels of Carr’s best-selling cancer survival guidebooks and acclaimed TLC documentary.
Along with help from her posse of experts, Carr lays out the fundamentals of her Crazy Sexy Diet: a low-fat, low-glycemic, vegetarian program that emphasizes balancing the pH of the body with lush whole foods, nourishing organic green drinks, and scrumptious smoothies. Plus, she shares the steps of her own 21-Day Cleanse, and simple but delectable sample recipes.
In ten chapters with titles such as, “pHabulous,” “Cupcakes, Coffee & Cocktails,” “Tushie & Milk Mustaches,” “Make Juice, Not War,” and “God Pod Glow,” Carr empowers you to move from a state of constant bodily damage control to one of repair and renewal. In addition to debunking common diet myths and sharing methods for detoxifying our bodies and psyches—drawing both on her personal experience as a cancer survivor and the advice of experts—she provides helpful tips on self-care, stretching a dollar, navigating the grocery store, eating well on the run, and working through the inevitable pangs and cravings for your old, not-so-healthy life.
Crazy Sexy Diet is a must for all who seek to be a confident—and sexy—wellness warrior.
“Kris Carr makes practical and hopeful suggestions as we face greater and greater numbers of our friends and family falling prey to chronic degenerative disease. I am personally inspired by her example in leading the way for people to take control of their bodies and their health.”
