1. The body is supposed to be acidic. Try 2 tbls. apple cider vinegar 2 x day or whenever you feel the need to snack. Has 93 vitamins and minerals. Will curb your appetite. Read apple cider vinegar cures. Makes hair and nails grow, cure acne and depression with this miracle. Truly a gift from GOD. i am not religious; just spiritual. I have been searching for this natural cure all my life. My hair and nails would never grow. Now I have long hair and nails.
2. I don't know about this diet but I do know that dieting is not the answer to losing pounds. A good diet is. Eating smaller amounts more often is good. It keeps the metabolism going. Avoid sugar. Coconut oil is one of the best ways to detoxify your body and is available at GNC. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Water will help shed pounds. No candy, no soda. Keep it simple and natural. The best diet is a balanced diet.
3. I think it's the most absurd thing I've ever heard of. I don't know why people hate themselves so much, they'd harm their body like this.
4. All detox diets haven't shown any real results in "detoxify" the body. Especially because when you don't give your body the proper nutrients through well balanced meals you starve your organs. The only thing detox diets are good for are to mentally prepare you for a health kick that will last. And anything over a few days of detoxing just isn't healthy for the body in any way.
5. Lemons are not good for your teeth, it will eat your teeth, but the acid in lemons as you drink it makes your stomach acid decrease, as it signals it to secrete less of its acid. Diluted, it can be beneficial to you as it is anionic. Diluted, you cannot drink too much, unless you drowned in it, Taken without sugar, it is very good. I don't know about a diet though. Xylitol has low glycemic factor. Maple syrup does not. Sucrose is a poison, esp. how they process it. There are other ways to detox.
