I have read "The pH Miracle" by Dr. Robert Young in which he claims that your blood is naturally alkaline (pH of 7.365) and that eating and drinking highly acidic foods (sweets, alcohol, coffee) lowers the pH of your blood and causes you to get fat because your body creates the fat in order to store the excess acid and thereby protect your body's organs from the excess acid. Has anyone had any experience with the process of keeping your blood more alkaline and losing weight as a result?

I am starting the South Beach Diet, and plan on exercising throughout to maximize my weight loss effort. However, I know that my body is going to feel very sluggish during the first 2 weeks as it is so adjusted to having an abundance of carbs. How critical is it to exercise during those first two weeks?

Which one is better Harley Pasternak's 5-Factor Diet or the Atkins diet? Like, Which is quicker? Which is easier for a busy scheduale? Which one gives better results? Have you tried any? Did they both give good results? I want to lose 10-20 pounds before summer. So please help! Thanks!?

In the ad, the woman is complaining how easy it is for guys to lose weight. He stops drinking soda and loses weight. He walks around the block and loses weight. She doesn't lose an ounce. Then recommends the product for women to lose weight. Anyone know what product it is?

And has anyone took steps to make it more alkali through diet and supplements? I just read PH Miracle book by Dr. Young. It all made sense and matched my health issues. Any safe alternative therapies for this condition?

My wife and I are on phase 2 of the South Beach Diet. If anyone has a really good recipe or a link to some free ones that would be great.

There's this new big diet that celebrities are using and Reveal magazine printed a diet plan to follow recently. It's a 5 week plan. I'm just curious if anyone knows how much weight you lose in that time? If anybody knows about the 5 factor diet.

A diet coke wouldn't matter when you're eating a buffet sized meal and a few dozen donuts for dinner. It doesn't make sense!
