subject: The Alkaline Diet Plan - Is It Right For You? [print this page] What exactly should you do to rapidly execute an alkaline diet plan? In the next few paragraphs, I will briefly outline five tips that will help you to effortlessly create a successful alkaline diet plan.
1. Eat a Salad Every Day
Salads are one of the best ways to increase your consumption of whole produce. But don't only eat iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. Instead, increase flavor and boost the nutritional benefits by including a number of wholesome ingredients. And don't forget the dressing--for the greatest health benefits, make it from flaxseed oil or olive oil.
2. Don't Overdo It on the Cheese
Some experts on the alkaline diet plan will tell you to avoid the cheese altogether, and I can understand their point. In addition to being acidifying, cheese is high in calories and saturated fat. Yet I believe it's okay to add a bit of grated feta, mozzarella, or Parmesan to your salad or vegetable dish.
3. Boost Flavor with Chicken Broth Instead of Chicken
Here's another suggestion that may disturb those who think of the alkaline diet plan as a vegan or vegetarian diet. Chicken broth can be a way to add flavor to soups and other dishes, without adding many fat or calories. Although chicken broth is mildly acidifying, is is much less acidifying than whole chicken.
4. Increase Flavor (But Not Calories) with Herbs and Spices
Can you make food delicious without making it acid-forming or boosting your intake of fat or calories? It sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? But it's truly as simple as adding spices or herbs to your favorite foods. (Some of my favorites are garlic powder, thyme, and dried onion.)
5. Try a Green Drink
Green drinks can be healthy alternatives to soft drinks. Unlike these acidifying drinks, green drinks help to build an alkaline body. They're also rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Simply mix the green drink powder with water, or blend it with frozen fruit to create a tasty smoothie.
There you have five ways to create an alkaline diet plan without needing a lot of time or money. The sooner you get started, the sooner you will build an alkaline body--so get started now!
