James, a client, had been feeling overweight and listless. In fact, his tiredness had been going on for so long that he admitted to me that he had almost become used to it. And the more tired he felt, the less he wanted to work out at the gym; and the more he used stimulants such as coffee and biscuits during the day to pep himself up. Otherwise, he thought he ate an excellent diet – lots of lean meat, potatoes, some vegetables.

pH Values of Some Common Liquids

On closer examination of James’ eating habits, I explained to him how many of his favourite foods were acid-forming – and how his body could only fully assimilate nutrients when it’s pH balanced. If your pH is too acidic you can eat healthy food packed with vitamins and minerals, yet get little or no health benefits. The goodness in food can’t be absorbed in the gut because of the acidity there, so the nutrients are wasted. This helped to explain James’ tiredness – he was nutrient-deficient because of his ‘acid’ diet. By changing to the pH Diet, he was able to break the tiredness cycle, cut out the stimulants and enjoy better health. He lost 5lbs in the process.
