Day 116 Alkalinity of Caloric Intake

To double check my acid/alkaline balance, I decided to analyze my intake by computing my weighted average. I did that by multiplying total calories times the PH rating of the food I ate yesterday.See chart below. What stunned me was my weighted average was just slightly above the 4.6 Alkaline level. If a person wants to thrive. His alkaline intake has to be greater than 5.5. If he really want to excel, it should equal 6.25. A ratio of 80% alkaline and 20% acidic is not determined by the number of foods one eats by by the alkalinity of one's caloric intake.

Clearly granola, coconut and pumpkin seeds don't help. Yet today, I ate a Snickers ice cream bar and had a slice of ham around string cheese as my compensation upon discovering the truth. Don't punish yourself for last minute picadillos (a 4.61 average), you are facing a lifetime of discipline if you want to succeed. Discard these failings and start programming how much better you feel. how much nicer your attitude towards others will be, how much stronger your efforts will be with a stronger core.
