Book Review The Ultimate pH Solution

Thank you, Cheryl! 10!

Thanks for the review, Cheryl! I purchased this book and it is a very interesting read... I'm just not ready for this restrictive of a dietary lifestyle, nor the expense involved... but keeping it for future reference and will try to adopt a few of the suggestions over the next few months- can't hurt!

Thanks for sharing you review..

Excellent Book Review! Thanks for posting this to...

The Book Review

Cheryl, thanks for your review of my book. I'm glad you liked it. Keep in mind that I'm not asking people to exclusively eat alkaline foods--only 70%. That means you can still enjoy your acidic favorites too.

Barb, thanks for your comments about my book. The idea that following a more alkaline diet is expensive is purely myth. Actually most people find it substantially cheaper to eat this way. It's the packaged, processed, and prepared foods full of harmful ingredients that are expensive, not the fresh nutrient-rich vegetables and fruits. The reduced meat will also decrease your grocery bill.

I find this concept interesting, as sometimes my body is too high in alkaline. I haven't read the book but perhaps my problem is that I eat mostly fresh, alive food.
Anyway, thanks for the review.

Unless a person only eats fresh fruits and vegetables, we will be eating some acidic foods. As I understand it from Michelle, the point is to balance our diet better. Since reading this book, I have been having about 4 to 6 fresh citrus a day in addition to mostly salads. of course, i eat pasta, chicken, rice, potatoes, fish. But the oranges, lemons and now limes - squeezed into water, flavored seltzer, or hot water, then eating the lemons or limes, is really tasty, helps reduce appetite, creates incredible looking skin and has contribute to weight loss and weight maintenance.

When you consider that most people don't eat fruit at all and only drink juices that are probalby only 15 percent juice, eating fresh fruit - nature's perfect food - is a great idea.

Sometimes, i will take cranraspberry juice - 100 percent juice - and add limes to it. Tastes like a real rickey. Or, take Rose's lime juice, lime seltzer and squeeze one whole lime. That is healthy.

Sometimes, I take commercial lemonade, which is mostly sugar and the enzymes in the lemons are all dead now, but I squeeze real lemons into it and it is tasty.

Hot water and lemon is great. You can add honey, too.

I squeeze lemons or lime into my organic green tea.

Raisins are very alkaline, so are nuts and legumes. Eating fruits, salads, nuts, legumes - like beans and rice - and some chicken. That is a great day's worth of food and the only things not alkaline are the rice and chicken. So, a diet like that which is slightly modified, is fun, cheaper than mostly meat, and very healthy.

Squeeze lemons or limes into your food and add some olive oil to your meals, too.

I brought lime slices recently to a Thai restuarant where we were eating. I put the limes in the water and squeezed them into our Thai food. The waiters were amused but said it was a great idea.

Studies have been done on 20 restaurants, from high end to low end, and found a lot of fecal matter in their lemon slices. The help is not washing their hands. So you might want to bring your own lemons when you eat out.

I usually have a salad, fried rice, chicken or fish dish when I eat out. Grilled chicken caesar is terrific. Sometimes I treat myself to beef.

So it is not hard to change our eating habits. Nobody is perfect.
