Weight-Loss Lose weight with alkaline foods

[EatingVeggies]

I lost about 90 pounds by eating a diet of 50-70% alkaline foods everyday. Instead of eating my usual high starch diet, i replaced MOST of the wheat, rice and potatoes with lots of veggies and fruit. I did not stop eating the foods i loved, i just made sure that the volume of food i ate everyday consisted of at least 50% whole veggies and fruit.

The human body prefers to have a PH that is slightly alkaline so it would help to eat more alkaline foods.

Strange, b/c potatoes have an alkalizing effect.

Guess that tosses your idea of the magical impact of alkalinity out the window and solidifies the importance of controlling calories.

Now I'm all for alkaline foods for things such as bone health on high protein diets or any other environment aiding acidosis. But that's not about weight loss.
