Weight Loss Diets That Work

We cover the sugar and pH miracle diet scope and technique here for you today, so tune in to a more healthful and happier you, if you too have suffered the consequences of fad diets, marketing gimmicks promising you rapid weight loss that is not constant and the ill-effects of binge-eating or ‘yo-yo’ dieting.

We begin with the facts: the main basis for the pH diet is that it emphasizes on a balanced approach to eating and stresses on which are the right foods to consume for weight loss.

The fundamental concept behind this diet plan is to limit the intake of acidic foods and build up the consumption of alkaline foods so that best health goals can be achieved. It is not entirely a new concept and scientists have been studying the effects of lowering pH levels in the body with various edible elements and by limiting the consumption of certain food items, which is what our feature on sugar and the miracle pH diet is all about.

Scientists believe that the acidic pH levels in the body are directly related to the amount of sugar present in the body: the average American is estimated to take in 2 – 3 pounds of sugar weekly, which roughly adds up to more than 135 pounds of this sweet stuff annually – an alarming amount whether taken as additive or natural form.

The latter is as alarming as the sugar put in as an additive/preservative as sometimes this can be in excess even when in natural form such as when it is available as sucrose, dextrose, corn syrups that are high in fructose besides the already mentioned processed food ingredients and in condiments.

The fact is that most of these are highly refined sweeteners that can leave a bitter taste in the mouths, especially true for people who are starting the pH diet as sugar is looked upon as one of the unavoidable evils.

Sugar effects the insulin levels in the body and lowers the body’s fighting chance against cell damage because as insulin levels drop, so does the release of the human growth hormone, which in turn depresses the immune system – a completely unacceptable fact since then diseases and various maladies can easily strike the human body.

Moreover, simple sugars lead to weight gain and elevated triglyceride levels as the insulin levels get affected and if a person consumes food rich in simple sugars, he or she is more likely to have excess fat storage in the body as compared to someone laying off these by limiting the intake of sugar, which builds up a store of fat cells that lead to undesirable amounts of acidic waste, which in turn, reduce the structure of red blood cells in the bloodstream – an important disease fighting mechanism.

The other reason why dieticians and scientists studying the ill-effects of sugar advise people to reduce and slowly cut down on their sugar intake is because it is an element that fights for control of the body’s cellular development along side Vitamin C as their structure is quite similar. This means elevated sugar levels actually fight and compete with one another on entering the body’s cells and if there is excess concentration of sugar in the bloodstream, this will lead to all this extra sugar going to thirsty cells so that Vitamin C has little room for lending its vital phagocytizing effects to the body so much in need of these for fighting viruses and bacteria attacks.

It also steals necessary, irreplaceable micro-nutrients from the body, the deficiency of which causes fat cells and cholesterol to stay from being metabolized leading to high BP, Obesity, Mood Disorders, Gallstones, Cardiac problems and Breathing disorders man a time. Cancer, too, has been linked with cases of heavy sugar dependence as the disease cells thrive on lactic acid produced by fermenting glucose that is delivered to the liver because of acidic pH; thus, to enjoy the miraculous, healthy and happy effects of the pH diet, one needs to cut back on the temporary highs of sweet stuff such as sugar and replacing these with complex sugars/alkaline-based sweeteners (e.g. Stevia).
