I think the concept of health, eating and energy is the biggest success topic of them all. So hard to do other things well if you don't have these. I would love to chat with you more about the diet portion of things. I have been doing a lot of reading over the past year about it. The best book I have come across recently by far is In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. So simple and so right on. Inspiring and scary at the same time. I will be posting a review on that one soon. I have heard/read the same as you regarding only fruits before noon. I have heard it is a toss up for that working well for people or not. Just depends on how your body takes to it. Sounds like it's working for you and it has for me as well. Much easier on the digestion to get the day going. I usually do an all fruit smoothy with a couple other things in it right after my morning workout. Sometimes some toast and veggies to go along with it too. This topic is wide and deep. Lot's of digging to do. Let's keep trading notes as we learn more. And as far as the gazelle-like behavior, I have you to thank for teaching me how properly go after a Nite Moves. See you down there soon! Scott So glad you stumbled on this one Pat. I think the concept of health, eating and energy is the biggest success topic of them all.

Your correlation between diet, energy, and overall success is so obvious but is also easy to lose track of. I read a book a few years ago that centered on the ideas of food pairing and also the importance of only eating fruit before noon. I'm back on that track now and enjoying it. It helps me lighten things up a bit and also brings an overall increased level of consciousness to my diet. Maybe it was the image of you bounding like a freaking gazelle up the hill past me on the last run that made me feel like I needed to dig a little deeper into what was keeping you going!!! Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!

Your website looks great. That is awesome that you have been so early on all this. I am really glad you stumbled upon my review and found some value in it. I too have felt great since slowly easing into the switch. And of course please send clients this way if they are interested in reading up on some of. Thanks and happy reading! -Scott Hi Ross.

To be honest, you first got me interested in this type of eating when we used to go out to lunch every day in Santa Barbara. Perhaps you were onto something but you didn't know exactly what ;). I finally stumbled across some of the science behind it. As for the supplements and fasting, I agree with you. This book focuses about 80% on eating, 15% on exercise and 5% on supplements. From what I have read across the board, very few supplements are necessary with this type of eating. I stick to a multivitamin and that's about it. Maybe an Omega 3:6:9 pill if I don't get enough that day naturally. The book does talk about a lot of ones it recommends but the most important thing to understand is what is healthy to eat and drink from a natural food/beverage perspective. I would not worry to much about the supplements. And the fasting is something that the more extreme alkaline eaters tend to do for a day or two every couple months. Although it is recommended more as a cleanse than a fast in that you still consume calories, they are just in liquid form (blended drinks, veggies, soups) and are ideally purely alkaline. Something to play around with if you are interested. I did the Master Cleanse a while back just to check it out. It was pretty interesting but in the future if I do any cleansing it would be more of the alkaline, liquid calorie type that I mentioned above. None of it is 'necessary'. Just depends on how deeply you want to get into it. Again, most importantly is that you keep things natural, get a lot of veggies and understand why ;). I know you already do plenty of that. If you are looking for more of a pure eating-related read, I recommend Skinny Bitch. That book will really make you think. Very quick read too. Let me know how you get on with all of it. -Scott Glad you liked it Tim! To be honest, you first got me interested in this type of eating when we used to go out to lunch every day in Santa Barbara.

I've been alkaline for five plus years now and I feel fantastic (see my blog!) You've done such a good job of summing this up I will definitely be referring my customers and readers to this post for a straightforward summary! Have an awesome day Ross Hey Scott

You've made me very curious about pH-based nutrition. I have to admit, however, that I'm still a bit skeptical about the fasting routines and supplements that seem to come along for the ride. Especially the supplements. Do you have any good recommendations for resources that focus on which foods to eat and when without venturing into fasts and pills, or should I just get over it and jump in head first? Or is this book not as supplement-oriented as its website has caused me to suspect? Many thanks! Tim Awesome and inspiring review, Scott! You’ve made me very curious about pH-based nutrition.

You would go a long way if you just focused on those simple things. Lemon juice in water, and dink a lot of it. I like to see you chunking things down in a way that is most usable for you. Makes things a ton more doable (and less intimidating). Let me know how you get on with it. Happy reading (and eating)! -Scott For sure Mark.

Some simple tips: avoid eating refined sugar, drink lemon juice in your water, drink apple cider vinegar. Sometimes very simple and inexpensive practices yield huge compound effects. Thanks Scott.
