Beyond Know How

Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that Dr. Robert Young has created a very appealing contribution to the ever-expanding weight loss world with his pH Miracle Diet. I personally am a big fan. I mean who wouldn’t be? It doesn’t emphasize exercising or cutting calories, the two cornerstones of most advice on losing weight. Instead, Dr. Young advocates for balancing your pH through a mostly vegetable alkaline diet. It may not be appealing to the tongue but most of us would rather suffer the pangs of adjusting to new tastes than imposing harsher disciplines upon ourselves. 

The basic premise is that we are sick, tired, and overweight because of a lack of pH balance, which in turn has been caused by our modern diet rich in acidic foods. Once one comes to understand that acid and alkaline food has two vastly different effects on our body systems, then we are ready to embark on Dr. Young’s pH diet. All you will need is large quantities of water and a bunch of green vegetables. 

The effects of the pH diet have been very notable on many people. They claim they have been cured of awful diseases and have lost tons of weight. I am more interested in it just for reasons of general health; I want to feel more alive. Can an alkaline diet do all that? If you listen to Dr. Young and his legion of grateful followers the answer is yes. It’s hard to deny the possibilities after you read so many glowing testimonials. Maybe there is a lot more to this idea of the importance of pH balance. 

In the end I feel that Dr. Robert Young is really onto something here. There are certainly scientific studies that can back him up. The pH Miracle Diet is truly a great plan. It shortcuts a lot of the natural obstacles to weight loss and a healthy diet by discovering that these realms have a lot to do with the difference between acid and alkaline food. Who am I to deny that? Anyone who’s ever eaten should fundamentally know that acidity feels a lot different than alkalinity wherever it occurs in the body. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the ones that work the best. I suggest finding out for yourself if balancing your pH is really a fundamental aspect of total health. Nothing beats firsthand inspection and experience.
