I have started my year without beer by doing Jason Vale’s 7lbs in 7 days – Juice Detox Programme. 7lbs in 7days? No I have lost 12lbs!! My wife has been doing this programme with me and she has lost 9lbs too.
So is it just about weight loss?
Well, no actually it is not – at least not for me. With all the excesses of Christmas and New Year I was feeling bloated, uncomfortable and tired at the start of this programme. Now I feel lighter, leaner and ready to take on the challenges of 2012. My clothes feel looser and I have found loads more energy, enough to be exercising every day of the programme, oh and twice today.
In addition to this my body’s acid alkaline balance has been restored. Acid Alkaline balance you may ask? Over acidity of our bodies is very common today. Over acidity can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems and increases the risk of disease. According to many experts a pH balanced diet is vital to maintaining health.
In his book “Alkalize or Die” Dr. Theodore A. Baroody N.D., D.C., Ph.D. says:
“The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!”
How do I know my Acid Alkaline balance is restored? Simple, I pH tested my urine 
(O.K. maybe I’ve read a few to many health books and websites since I lost 4 stone (56 lbs) in 2009…)
