(On day 23)
I found out that my body pH was acidic - showing a 5.75 to a 6.
Neutral is 7 and slightly alkaline (7.25) is preferable according to people I speak with.
So,
I bought a gear juicer and have been juicing every morning for the past 23 days.
3 cups Kale
2 stalks of celery
1/2 cucumber
1/2 lemon
makes about 6 ounces.
I feel great and my body pH is now at 7.25. I added 1/2 an apple today so that the juice was less basic.
Day 5 was tough and I felt like total crap.
This is not a strictly juice diet as I eat normally for lunch and dinner. However, I have lost about 7 pounds (from 185 to178) and I find that I am less hungry.
