Day #9 weigh-in: 120.6. Same as yesterday, but I didn’t get any exercise yesterday either. When I tested my pH level this morning, both urine and saliva indicated a pH level of 6.6, which falls far short of the ideal reading of 7.4. So, I’ll need to tip the balance of my food intake to more alkaline foods this week
Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our Metabolic Function Index, a measure of our metabolic rate, using the tables in Dr. Sanford Siegal’s book, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?.
