Post a typical days eating

Back when we were cavemen, we ate alot alkaline forming foods - fruit, nuts, seeds, fish, plants etc, a lot of it would have been raw to. It is not about a fad diet, or new craze it's scientific fact that our bodies are meant to be alkaline. Our systems do not know how to cope with all this processed, acid forming food. I am not saying it will cure cancer what I am saying is if your body is functioning at its optimum and running on the fuel it was designed to use it will lipolise quicker and will grow better. I don't just read this stuff I put it into practice on myself and clients. Over the last 14 days I have eaten more food in terms of calories, but they have been more alkaline forming and nothing processed and I have dropped bodyfat and put on lean tissue, and have more energy. I have changed nothing else other than the type of food and concentrated on its pH value. You don't come across as rude. just uneducated on the subject matter.

shanejer said:Oh and I don't know much on the subject just read a few articles but some say 60/40 some 75/25 and others different all in favor of alkaline but I pay little to no attention seems another way of saying "eat more fruit and veg" to me '

Not being a dick Luke, but how long did cavemen actually live?
Can't deny that eating whole foods and fresh fruit and veg are excellent choices, but I honestly don't think basing one's diet philosophy on our uneducated, uncivilised ancestors is a great idea.

It's not just about fruit and veg, it's about processed foods and the bodys inability to deal with it due to is acidity.

I would do some reading on Acid-Base homeostasis, and gastro-intestinal physiology. That's all I'd ask you to do. wikipedia will do

Wikipedia, everything on there is gospel. I'll stick to scientific studies in endocrinology and the real life fact and figures I and my piers work with on a daily basis.

I was actually saying wikipedia will do because it's a) succinct and b) The articles on there on this topic are accurate. Hit pubmed if you must, or an up-to-date textbook. I think you'll quickly find you're wrong. All I need you to tell me is, are you actually suggesting that the pH of the food you eat can change ones bodily pH? (Nb not urine pH).
brb eating a load of lemons and going to A&E with severe metabolic acidosis

Use pubmed all the time. Please give me the names of the studies that quote the pH of your food and body doesn't matter and that we are not alkaline based.
