Lose Weight with the PH Miracle Diet

Many people have lost weight with the pH Miracle Diet. The great thing about this diet is that it is not one of those passing fad diets that have no science or logic to back up all the weight loss claims. The basis of the ph diet is eating more alkaline food than acidic food. Alkaline foods and drinks include things like vegetables, certain fruits & nuts, green drinks, and pure water. Acidic foods and drinks include things like most meat & dairy products, candy, chocolate, soft drinks, and fruit juice. By making your diet about 60-80% alkaline, you can begin to lose unwanted weight and become healthier overall.

If you’ve got plenty of acid in your body you will gain undesired weight, it’s actually that straightforward. The building up of fat in the body is just a defense system for an excessively acidic body. When your blood gets too acidic, the body creates protection around urgent organs and muscles so the acid in your body can’t damage them. This uncovers itself as fat round the gut, bum, or other areas of the body.

The build up of fat in the body is merely a defense system for an overly acidic body. When your blood gets too acidic, the body creates protection around vital organs and muscles so the acid in your body can’t damage them. This manifests itself as fat around the stomach, buttocks, or other areas of the body. So, in other words, your body fat is actually saving your life.

Most of the diets out there are not effective because they don’t see weight loss as an acid problem. Many popular diets are actually acidic and this is why they don’t work, or they might work for a little while and then you will gain all the weight back in the long run. As long as you stick to the ph diet, you will begin to see gradual weight loss in a short amount of time. You will also begin to feel healthier and more vibrant. There are quite a few success stories out there with people who have used the ph miracle diet. One woman was able to lose 90 pounds in 90 days. There was also a man who weighed 450 pounds who lost 205 pounds on this diet. The important thing is that they were able to keep the weight off.

You may find that this diet is challenging because it requires you to modify your eating habits. But if you are an experienced dieter, you probably know that there is no such thing as an easy, effortless diet. It will require a few changes and some mental effort on your part, but if you make changes slowly it won’t overwhelm you. Dr. Robert Young and his wife, Shelley, have written a book that can help you make the transition to an alkaline diet. It is called “The pH Miracle” and it is full of useful information as well as alkaline recipes. If you are struggling to incorporate alkaline foods in your diet, the recipes will be especially helpful to you.

Here are some weight loss diet tips that can be followed anywhere, everyday:

1. Make a delicious low fat mayonnaise by combining one teaspoon of Dijon mustard or satay sauce with a low fat yogurt.
2. Do not skip meals. Skipping meals slicks the body into slowing down the metabolism, attempting to conserve calories during a period where limited fats and fuel are available. Remember that eating increases the metabolism.
3. Stuff vegetables like capsicum and zucchini with flavored fillings or minced chicken, white meat or fish. These are healthy and contain low fat.
4. Take pita bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings.
5. Eight hours after waking up, our metabolism slows down that is why 30 minutes of exercise before dinner will increase the metabolism for about two to three hours. This produces an increase in burned fat even hours after the work out is over.
6. Add alfalfa or mung beans to salad to get extra iron.
7. Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes.
8. Learn how to make the family favorite recipes and make sure that fats, salt, and sugar are cut out. Substitute non-fat yogurt for cream, stir-fry without oil and use herbs and spices instead of salt to taste.
9. Consult the doctor before beginning an exercise or weight loss program.
10. Slowly eat and chew each bite during meals as this would decrease one’s appetite.
11. Complete three small meals and two snacks everyday instead of one or two huge meals.
12. Use chicken stock when stir-frying. This will cut down on hidden fat.
13. Buy non-toasted muesli instead of the toasted ones. A plate of toasted muesli contains more fat than a plate of bacon and eggs.
14. As much as possible do not remove the skins of fruits and vegetables since most of the nutrients are concentrated under the skin.
15. Warm water with just a squeeze of lemon juice before breakfast get the metabolism going for the day, this also help preventing constipation and is excellent for the skin.
16. One of the best sources of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans etc into casseroles and soups.
17. Look for a weight loss “buddy,” club, or support mates. This will motivate you to stay and enjoy your weight loss program.
18. Though it’s hard at first, try not eating 3 hours or more before bedtime.
19. Make pasta a fast food choice – preparing a pasta meal or salad will only take 10-12 minutes.
20. Chilli helps to speed up metabolism – even the milder varieties.
21. Try making omelettes without adding the yolks! A dramatic decrease in fat.
22. Substitute baking soda, baking powder, MSG and soya sauce in cooking.
23. Remove fat by dropping ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the ice cubes.
24. Drinking hot water instead of cold water in the morning can increase the speed of your metabolism and burn more calories.
25. Eat before you go food shopping and always prepare a shopping list. Only buy food which relates to your weekly menu plan and don’t be tempted to buy goodies.
