One of the hardest places for me to change to an alkalyzing, bone-healthy diet was LUNCH. It took a while, but I did come up with 10 packed lunches that follow the plan and taste great! Each packed lunch contains a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Note: If you’re a teacher like me, you may have to time the amount of your bottled water intake to accommodate your planning period and lunch break schedule.
