How Do I Know so Much About the Alkaline Diet?

I began my research on the alkaline diet back in 2010 when I wanted to have better health and wellness. I had such big goals I really wanted to achieve that I knew in order to succeed I had to have enough energy to get there.

Just like an athlete would have to eat a certain way to perform for sport I understood I had to nourish my body to achieve the successful life I wanted. On top of that I also wanted to lose some excess weight.

I came across the alkalarian diet by pH Miracle and it made sense to me. I tried it made some adjustments and it worked out extremely well. As a result from the change, I have more energy, I’ve lost and maintained my weight and more importantly I feel better in every way. I even feel mentally better.

“You don’t realise how bad you once felt until you know what feeling really healthy feels like.”

I reached a point of feeling so healthy I had an explosive amount of energy that almost made me scared of ever losing it.

How did I get to this point?

I slowly transitioned my current diet into an alkaline diet and it took a total of 6 months.

The alkaline diet according to my research requires the removal of the following foods:

Processed meats – deli meats such as ham, salami, hotdogs etc.
Processed sugar – lollies, crisps, cakes, pastries, and all baked goods including refined carbohydrates such as mass produced breads, wraps, and crackers.
Soda and sugar filled juices and beverages
Dairy products – All dairy products such as dairy milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter.
Red meat – All red meat, even organic and grass fed.
White meat – No more chicken, and definitely no pork.
Eggs – even organic eggs.
Fish and seafood – farmed fish and seafood is entirely eliminated.
Yeast, vinegar, fungi and fungal fermented foods- bakers yeast and brewer’s yeast, all vinegars, and even fungi foods such as miso, mushroom, soy sauce, fermented foods, and even dried fruit.
Alcohol and Caffeine – all alcohols and caffeine. Especially non-organic coffee beans, and coffee beans not mould-free approved.
Corn products – all corn products

My goal was to aim for 75-80% of my diet filled with Alkaline foods and the remaining 20-25% “acidic” foods.

Also part of the alkaline diet I swapped extreme intensive exercising for lower intensity. The alkaline diet is best supported with low-intensive and regular movement such as:

Walking
Light jogging
Yoga
15-minute intensive training (1-2 times a week Max)

A week in my life following an Alkaline Diet looked something like this:

6am wake up and consume 500mls of warm lemon water (25g fresh lemon juice, 200mls of boiled water and 300mls of room temperature water.

Go for 60 minute yoga class with a 45 minute walk throughout the day and every other day 90 minute walk/ or 60 minute light jog.

An organic green juice daily before breakfast

Breakfast: 2 slices of sprouted brown rice toast with mashed avocado, sprouts, sliced cucumber. Or a green smoothie bowl, yogurt parfait, or warmed breakfast of sautéed greens and smashed avocado.

Morning tea: fresh vegetables sticks with tahini paste, a piece of fruit, raw nuts, and avocado.

Lunch would be a salad of lots of greens, raw vegetables, avocado smash, pumpkin seeds, and lentils or quinoa. I’d have this almost daily as my work lunch. I would always follow my lunch with a square of 90% organic chocolate and peppermint tea.

Afternoon tea was mixed up between raw Brazil nuts and a plant protein shake, coconut yogurt and frozen organic berries, rice cakes with nut butter, vegetable sticks with tahini paste.

Dinner: I would mix up every evening because I love the variety for dinner. I would make buckwheat paste with sautéed veggies, scrambled tofu with steamed veggies and salad, a green soup with toasted seeds or tofu “croutons”, a power salad, homemade tortilla pizza, and vegetable stir fry or curry.

Dessert would be my signature “almond cream treat” along with an herbal tea. My treat includes: 200g frozen zucchini, ½ avocado, 150g of unsweetened almond milk, and flavoured organic stevia drops.

I would go to bed early about 2-3 hrs after dinner and wake up early the next day for movement.

I would also fast for 14hrs between dinner and breakfast the next morning.

How to make your own healthy Alkaline Diet Recipes

How can you make your own healthy alkaline diet recipes? It honestly will become so simply for you once you learn the list of alkaline foods and then work with the abundant amount of foods you have to eat.

I always like to start with soups, salads, and smoothies. These are seriously my favorite foods to eat.

Making alkaline soups are extremely simply. Below are some of my tips:

Use organic produce where possible from the list of alkaline foods.
Use yeast free vegetable broths that contain nothing other than vegetables and possibly sustainably sourced palm oil or other oils. Avoid added sugar, maltodextrin, or corn.
Use canned organic coconut cream or soaked sunflower seeds or blanched almonds to create a delicious creamy delight.
Use herbs and spices for seasoning some of my favorite brands include Simply Organic, Frontier Co-Op, Spice Hunter.

Salads are easy too.

Create a base of any amazing leafy green of choice
Add some extra vegetables (cucumber, red onion, peppers, radish, carrot, beetroot etc.) even add some roasted veggies or steamed vegetables.
Add some healthy fats – Avocado, hummus, tahini paste, cold pressed extra virgin oils.
Add some crunch – toasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, pinenuts, and walnuts.
Season with sea salt, cracked pepper, fresh lemon juice and a drop of two of pure organic stevia liquid.

To turn your salad into a power salad add some protein from baked tofu, baked Tempeh, cooked quinoa, canned white beans, sprouted lentils etc.

Main meals are simple as well. I really love eating alkaline because it is really easy to make healthy alkalising recipes.

I would suggest adding a side salad of raw vegetables to every main meal. It will refreshing the taste of your meal and also your whole experience.

Some recipe ideas include curries, stir-fry’s, roasted vegetables, vegetable patties, pies etc. all easily made using alkaline approved foods.

Refer back to the alkaline food list above for some basic essentials to keep in your household when transitioning.
