Achieving a 75/25 (alkaline to acid) balance in foods and beverages and regulating your body’s acid/alkaline chemistry through simple dietary changes can result in weight loss, increased energy, decrease in inflammation, and a greater sense of well-being.

Many of the foods and beverages we eat regularly are acidic or turn acidic in our body, such as sweets, junk food, trans fats, oxidized oils, coffee, alcohol, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, fish, most grains, and some fruit. The body must maintain a healthy pH balance; in the blood between 7.35 and 7.45. To deal with excess acid, the body will store it in fat cells.It will even make more fat cells in which to store acids to keep them from damaging delicate tissues and organs.

The same is true of toxins. (See Cleansing and Detoxing) Many people have noticed that when they increase alkaline foods such as vegetable juices, vegetables, sprouts, essential fats, and alkaline fruit, their weight begins pouring off! The body can finally let go of fat cells containing the acid because there’s plenty of alkaline-buffer to neutralize and carry the acid out of the system. Acid levels may rise in the system at this time, which would indicate that fat is melting away with the acid it contains.

You can measure pH with color pH Indicator Strips (found at most drug stores.) Make 75 percent of your diet alkaline foods with at least half your vegetables raw in the form of vegetable juices, salads, sprouts, raw food dishes, and dehydrated crackers and other foods (dehydrated at 105° F) along with alkaline fruit, seeds, nuts, and good oils. Make the other 25 percent of your diet animal proteins, whole grains, and nuts (not on the alkaline list). For a list of alkaline foods, see The Juice Lady’s Turbo Diet.BUY NOW!

Drink two to three glasses of fresh vegetable juice daily. For an extra weight loss boost, juice fast one day a week. Vegetables in particular are wise juice choices because they’re low in sugar and your body can make virtually every calorie count for energy, rather than storage in fat cells. Fruit juice contains fruit sugar, therefore, I don’t recommend that you juice very much fruit. I use lemons and limes to flavor juices. If you want a little added sweetness, choose green apple over red or yellow apples. And when you do drink other fruit juices, make sure that you always dilute fruit juice by half with water or vegetable juices to prevent appetite stimulation and excess sugar consumption. (Do not use more than 4 ounces of fruit juice a day with the exception of lemons and limes).

On a personal note: I have received scores of letters and calls from people who have lost 10, 20, 70, even 150 pounds by following my weight-loss program, which includes two to three glasses of fresh juice each day. The full program is in The Juice Lady’s Turbo Diet.BUY NOW!Link text[/button]

Just as acids are stored in fat cells, so are toxins, which are acidic. Vegetable juices are very alkaline, so they help your body balance pH. That helps you lose weight.

As you detoxify your body with colon, liver and gallbladder cleansing, along with lots of fresh vegetable juices, you’ll notice the weight melting away. Get into a sauna or do aerobic exercises that make you sweat. Sweating is about the only way to get rid of plastic toxins.

Radio broadcaster Sarah Taylor was on the cover of the May 4, 2009 issue of Woman’s World magazine and featured in the Turbo Juice Diet story. “I’m currently down 20 pounds, which is HUGE for me, as I haven’t successfully lost weight in years,” said Sarah.

“But the best part is that I wasn’t trying to lose weight. I just incorporated healthy, live foods through juicing for nutrition.  The weight loss was just a bonus!” She said she started filling herself up with the right foods and her body said Thank you!

“I lost 20 pounds in 10 weeks,” she added. “This is the only diet that’s ever worked for me.  I love it!”
