Are you sick and tired of trying diet and exercise programs which just don’t seem to work?

Every week you do your best to count the calories or points, reduce your carbs, you take the stairs instead of the lift, even go to the gym. You go to your weekly ‘weigh in’ and there’s huge disappointment as you stayed the same, only lost 1Ib or worse still, you have gained weight!

How could this be?

The answer to long term weight loss is simple yet it seems to be a secret! Those who hold this secret are astounded by the results; an abundance of energy, no spots, no coughs or colds and NO EXCESS WEIGHT!

There has been a relatively new discovery in science about how our body works. It is all to do with something called ACID!

As we all know from school acid burns and if we swallow it we could die! What we didn’t learn was that some of our foods are acidic and yes, they can kill us! Just a little more slowly.

When we eat acidic foods, such as; Meat, dairy, pastas, bread, sugar, and alcohol they burn our insides as the blood becomes acidic.

Or body protects itself by taking this acid out of the blood and storing it as FAT!

Therefore; OUR FAT IS SAVING OUR LIVES!

Our blood should be pH 7.36, which is slightly alkaline, the opposite of acid.

To loose weight and let go of the fat we need to neutralise the acid we put into our system and ALKALISE!

Luckily for us there are plenty of foods which are alkaline and can neutralise acid. These foods include: all vegetables, especially green ones and some fruits, including tomatoes, grapefruit, lemon and lime.

It takes 4 parts alkaline to neutralise 1 part acid. Therefore, alkaline foods need to be eaten in much larger quantities than acidic foods. When eating a meal cover ¾ of your plate in alkaline foods like green vegetables and only ¼ in carbohydrates or protein.

Our body is made up of 70% water which is neutral (neither acidic nor alkaline). Drinking plenty of water creates the right environment inside our body and helps us flush out all the acids and toxins. Drink at least 2-3 litres of water a day and drink it constantly during the day, if you wait until you are thirsty your body is already dehydrated.

Over exercising (until you feel the burn!) causes a build up of lactic ACID. If you’re one of those people exercising like crazy to loose weight and it’s still not coming off its because of the acid. Exercise is great for weight loss if you do not over do it and replace your fluids.

There are also alkaline supplements available, which speed up the alkalising process and encourage your body to let go of the fat much quicker. Alkaline supplements I would recommend for weight loss include a pH Booster and green drinks.

I have seen the results from following this alkaline lifestyle myself! I could never loose that last stone! Since adopting this lifestyle I have lost the stone and kept it off for 2 years! Now I’m 20 weeks pregnant and am only putting on ‘baby weight’ not excess weight.
