When youstart to alkalise you quickly shred throughthis fat. Bulges and cellulite disappearpretty darn quick.There is some complex science behindthis, but if you consider that on a daily basisyou are going to be consuming loads offresh, raw salads, vegetables, nuts, seeds,healthy fats etc. and be totally hydrated,while at the same time consuming zerosugar, trans-fats, chocolate,crisps, sweets, alcohol etc. it is prettyclear to see that you’re not going to haveto worry about weight for too much longer.The same goes for being under-weight.Being under-weight is an acid problemtoo.Your clogged, over acidic digestive systemis preventing your body from being able toabsorb the nutrients you do consume, andso you’re left skinny and weak. Once youstart to alkalise you will find yourself fillingout in all the right places and gaining musclemass.Brilliant.QUESTION 8: How do I test my pH – why are myreadings erratic?Testing your pH is a great way of trackingyour progress.
