When UK’s leading beauty therapist gets together with a leading clinical nutritionist, you can expect a book that is different and effective. Bharti Vyas runs a famous London salon and her clients are popular celebrities like Cherie Blair, Cher and Belinda Carlisle. Suzanne Le Quesne teaches nutrition courses all around the world. Together, they have come up with a strategy which they claim can help you to lose weight and gain health.
According to the authors of the PH Balance Diet, everything we eat is either acidic or alkaline forming. Eating a surplus of acidic food exhausts energy levels. It leads to lifeless skin and hair. It causes flatulence and contributes to weight gain and indigestion. This is because the human body is naturally alkaline, but when we eat acidic foods, it results in the formation of acidic waste in the body which can cause serious health problems.
Dairy, wheat, certain kinds of fruits, meat and sugar are all highly acidic, according to the book, and should be eaten in moderation.
The aim of the pH Balance Diet is to reverse the ill effects of acidic foods by implementing a diet that is alkaline. It achieves this in 3 phases.
In the first phase, special attention is paid to liquid intake. This phase recommends the intake of water every hour. This helps you avoid drinking acidic beverages like coffee and carbonated drinks.
In the second phase, the acidic components in food are cut out. Dietary imbalances are overcome by decreasing wheat and dairy. Simultaneously, the intake of vegetables is increased. This increases the mineral and calcium content in the body.
In the last phase, the intake of raw or half cooked vegetables is encouraged. This gives a boost to the alkaline component. At this stage, you are allowed to take in more fruit juices, even though these are acidic in nature.
The pH Balance Diet Review
Obviously, the kind of diet the book advocates is controversial. It has some good points and you can lose weight with it. However, the book is not really about weight loss. It has more to do with a healthy way of living, according to the authors.
I’m not sure that this dies will easily fit the lifestyle of everyone. It has a lot to do with how you view food. I hardly think about food acidity and I don’t know many people who do. Unless you’re one of those people, you probably won’t find this diet book right for you.
The PH Balance Diet elaborates on a pH test kit that can help people assess the pH level of the body and help correct imbalances. The book also contains a number of helpful recipes. There is a special section dedicated to fruit juices called the ‘juicing for superhealth’ program. Also included is a tear-out chart that contains an exhaustive list of alkaline and acid foods. This helps you to implement the program precisely.
PH Balance Diet Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Propagates the intake of raw and half cooked vegetables
- Reduces consumption of high calorie beverages.
- Recommends the increased intake of water. Most of us drink too little of it.
- Contains an exhaustive list of alkaline and acidic foods which makes the diet easier to follow.
- Contains approximately 80 recipes.
Cons:
- Does not speak about exercises at all. This is a big disadvantage.
- May be difficult to follow as it requires a big shift from a conventional lifestyle.
- Severely restrictive
In conclusion:
The PH Balance Diet plan can help followers lose weight as it does away with all kinds of processed and fattening foods. It may also reduce problems associated with indigestion like flatulence and stomach disorders. However, people who are used to non-vegetarian food might find the diet plan severely restrictive. This is why you should consider carefully whether this program is indeed for you.
