If alkalising is on your agenda for the new year, and you want to get straight into a cleanse, then there are a couple of hints to make your life easier. If you are anything like me, the first time I started alkalising I went gung ho. But after working with loads of clients, I can assure you that gung ho is short lived. Alkalising deserves time and commitment, with well thought out goals with room for adjustment.
The best way to transition into a more alkaline diet is one step at a time, thats right, no gung ho.
The first few days of reducing your sugar intake, eliminating coffee and doing things differently *can* be quite difficult for some people if that is what their whole lifestyle has been about until now.
As you input new foods and more alkaline water, you will be stirring up old toxins that can now be released…but their release often doesn’t feel so great and can render you with headaches, other aches and pains, and fatigue. Some people, if they are toxic enough, may even throw up or get a headache simply from the introduction of water.
The idea is to take things slowly, wean yourself off sugars and coffee and alcohol over a couple of weeks and increase your food choices with more alkaline foods such as salads and avocadoes.
Lets break it down and put your goals in writing.
