As you read through your detailed Fat Diminisher System eBook, you learned that it is important for your body to be alkaline, not acidic. Balance is key. And when it comes to our body’s pH levels, it’s the key to life!

pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is and our blood pH needs to maintain a slightly alkaline level to keep us healthy. We help our bodies to maintain this pH balance by eating more alkaline-forming foods and fewer acid-forming foods.

Alkaline-forming foods include most fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seedsand herbal teas.

Acid-forming foods include most grains, beans, meats, dairy products, fish,fast foods and processed foods.

Don’t make your body work hard to maintain its pH balance. When we eat acid-forming foods, our body brings our blood pH back into balance by releasing alkaline-rich minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium into our bloodstream. If we are eating enough alkaline-forming foods each day, then our body has easy access to these minerals from our diet.

If we are not eating enough alkaline-forming foods, then our body has to pull these important minerals from our bones, teeth and organs. This can compromise our immune system, cause fatigue and make us vulnerable to viruses and disease.

Eat a diet of 60-80% alkaline-forming foods and 20-40% acid-forming foods.

For the acid-forming foods, skip the fast-food burgers and processed foods. Instead choose healthier options like beans, grains and other fresh foods. Pesticides tend to be acid-forming, so choose organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Experts feel that one important consideration in regard to eating an alkaline diet is to become knowledgeable about what type of soil your produce was grown in — since fruits and vegetables that are grown in organic, mineral-dense soil tend to be more alkalizing. Research shows that the type of soil that plants are grown in can

significantly influence their vitamin and mineral content, which means not all “alkaline foods” are created equally.

The ideal pH of soil for the best overall availability of essential nutrients in plants is

between 6 and 7. Acidic soils below a pH of 6 may have reduced calcium and

magnesium, and soil above a pH of 7 may result in chemically unavailable iron,

manganese, copper and zinc. Soil that’s well-rotated, organically sustained and

exposed to wildlife/grazing cattle tends to be the healthiest.

If you’re curious to know your pH level before implementing the tips below, you

can test your pH by purchasing strips at your local health food store or pharmacy.

You can measure your pH with saliva or urine. Your second urination of the morning

will give you the best results. You compare the colors on your test strip to a chart

that comes with your test strip kit. During the day, the best time to test your pH is

one hour before a meal and two hours after a meal. If you test with your saliva, you

want to try to stay between 6.8 and 7.2.

Let’s take a look at the foods you should be eating…

Peachy Green Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 ripe peach 1 ripe banana

30g (1 1/4 oz) spinach leaves

1 tsp agave syrup 250ml (1 cup) coconut water

Instructions:

Just put all ingredients into a high speed blender, and blend away until smooth!

5

Zucchini Pad Thai

Ingredients:

3 medium courgettes (zucchini)

3 large carrots

2 spring onions, chopped (also known as green onions, scallions)

1 cup shredded red cabbage

½ packet of beansprouts

1 cup cauliflower florets

1 bunch of fresh coriander/cilantro, chopped roughly

Coconut Oil

6

Sauce ¼ cup tahini

¼ cup almond butter ¼ cup tamari

1 tsp coconut sugar 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced 1 inch of ginger root, grated

Instructions:

1) First, prepare the carrot and courgette ‘noodles’ by using either a

spiralizer or mandolin. If you don’t have either of these, use a vegetable

peeler to make slices of the zucchini and carrot and then use a sharp

knife to slice these into very thin strips.

2) Put these into a large bowl with the spring onions, shredded

cabbage, beansprouts (thoroughly washed), cauliflower and coriander.

3) Now prepare the sauce by blending the tahini, almond butter,

tamari, coconut sugar, lime/lemon juice, garlic and grated ginger. Add

a little water if needed – this is a very thick sauce.

4) Finally, mix the sauce into the bowl and get everything evenly

coated.

5) Serve with a sprig of coriander and an extra little squeeze of lemon

or lime.

7

Lettuce Cups

Ingredients:

3/4 cups chopped cashew nuts

1 1/2 cups chopped celery

4 to 5 tablespoons sesame garlic sauce or tahini

1 head of lettuce

coconut oil

chopped ginger

minced onions

minced garlic

8

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:

½ cup shitake mushrooms

¼ cup sweet potato, cubed

red pepper flakes for spice!

Instructions:

1) Before cooking, chop the celery into small pieces, and crush cashews

so that each cashew is broken into about 4 pieces. Perfection not

required, just smash ’em up a little.

2) Next, add a little coconut oil and a little water to a frying pan and

sprinkle the oil with the freshly minced onions, minced garlic, and

chopped ginger.

3) Pour chopped celery in and steam/fry for about 10 or 15 minutes on

medium to high heat.

4) Now add the chopped cashews fry for a further 3 to 4 minutes on

low to medium heat. Once it’s all looking awesome, remove from heat

and mix the sauce/tahini in evenly with celery and cashews.

ACIDOSIS A surprising number and variety of physical problems and diseases can be caused by the

problem of foods that are acid-producing after digestion. The reason acidosis is so

common in our society is mostly due to the typical modern diet. It is important to consume

at least 60% alkaline-producing foods in our diet, in order to maintain health. We need

plenty of fresh fruits and particularly vegetables (alkaline-producing) to balance our

necessary protein intake (acid-producing). And we need to avoid processed, sugary or

simple-carbohydrate foods, not only because they are acid-producing but also because

they raise blood sugar level too quickly - with high glycemic index, therefore fattening and

stressing our insulin response, plus they tend to be nutrient-lacking and may be toxic too.

Acidosis will decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease

the energy production in the cells, decrease the ability to repair damaged cells, ability to

detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue

and illness. An acidic pH can occur from an acid-forming diet, emotional stress, toxic

overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and

other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals.

If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a buildup of acids in the cells

will occur. Acidosis can cause such problems as:

Cardiovascular Damage

Weight Gain, Obesity and Diabetes

Bladder Conditions

Kidney Stones.

Immune Deficiency

Acceleration of Free Radical Damage

Hormonal Problems

Premature Aging

Osteoporosis and Joint Pain

Lactic Acid Buildup

Slow Digestion and Elimination

Yeast/Fungal Overgrowth

Lower Body Temperature

Tendency to Get Infections

Loss of Drive, Joy, And Enthusiasm

Depressive Tendencies

Pale Complexion

Headaches

WHICH FOODS ARE

ACIDIC?

ALKALINITY IS EVERYTHING

One of the best things you can do to correct an overly acid body is to clean up your diet

and lifestyle. To maintain your health, your diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming

foods and 40% acid forming foods. If you need to restore your health, your diet should

consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.

11

ACIDIC FOODS TO

AVOID

MEAT

Bacon

Beef

Clams

Corned Beef

Lamb

Lobster

Organ Meats

Oyster

Pork

Rabbit

Sausage

Meats are acid forming, with some being more than others. For this reason, we

recommend refraining from meats if you are recovering from a severely acidic condition.

Even when you’re in a pH balanced state, eat only one or two servings per day and it will

be easier to stay in balance.

Dairy ProductsButter

Cheese

Milk

Ice cream

Egg

Dairy Products are packaged and pasteurized (which more are) are acidifying because

the enzymes required for digestion have been destroyed. Raw dairy products are slightly

alkalizing.

Fruits (Acid, but Alkaline forming)

Currants

Cherries, sour

Cranberries

Grapefruit

Muskmelons

Honeydew Melon

Nectarine

Orange

Tangerine

Lemon

Lime

Pineapple

While fruits are slightly alkalizing to a person who is already in a balanced state, we

suggest refraining from them all together if you are in an acidic state because of their high

sugar content. Once you get your pH back up to the desired level, enjoy them in

moderation.

Nuts & Seeds Cashews

Peanuts

Pecans

Walnuts

Nuts and Seeds are relatively neutral foods… either slightly alkalizing or slightly

acidifying. They are mineral rich, but they also contain proteins which are acidifying when

metabolized.

13

Fats & Oils Cooked Oil Solid Oil (Margarine)

When Fats are cooked, they become acidifying to your body, as do animal saturated fats.

Sweeteners Carob

Corn Syrup

Fructose

Processed Sugar

Sucrose

Sucralose

Beverages Alcohol

Beer

Black Tea

Coffee

Carbonated Water

Energy Drinks (Red Bull, etc.)

Soda

Remember, proper hydration is the cornerstone of pH balance and your body is 70%

water, so drink up!

Sauces Mayonnaise

Ketchup

Mustard

Soy Sauce

Vinegar

Tabasco

Tamari

Wasabi

While Sodium is alkaline mineral, too much of it pulls water out of cells into the fluid that

surrounds cells. We recommend a low sodium diet in order to maintain proper hydration.

Some of these list can get rather dogmatic but keep in mind that you are not going to

suddenly become too acidic because you ate a piece of bacon or drank a cup of coffee.

Acidification is cumulative process, and it occurs as a result of your lifestyle of eating.
