“I have been using the pH Miracle products for the past year. I am currently using the Greens, salt tablets and the electrolytes for athletes. I am 54 and training for my first marathon which will be in 2 weeks in Chicago. However, over the past 3 months, I have accumulated a lot a body fat and lose skin in spite of all of my training.
I check my pH urine almost every day and am mostly alkaline. Can you tell me if there is something else I should be doing? I'd like to lose this body fat because I realize it is toxins. I cannot do a cleanse right now because I am on my feet all day in front of people (I'm a personal trainer). What do you suggest?
It could be many things but my first guess is it might not be diet related, but due to over exertion and not enough reserves.
When you train and push yourself hard, physically, your adrenals can become fatigued. The anterior pituitary and then the adrenal glands balance all hormones. When you start to train and if you over train and don't have enough reserves, the body is very smart and will produce more and more cortisal and more male hormones and hold onto extra fat in attempts to balance the body. The body is designed to keep a certain amount of healthy fat for a balanced system. Overexertion can even be acid producing as the body may have a hard time keeping up with removal of build up from lactic acid and tissue and muscle breakdown.
As far as diet goes, it sounds like you are doing great. The foods that cause fat build up are acid foods ...sugar, processed, etc... I do suggest using a good organic raw vegan protein powder with nuts and seeds to use especially after training for rebuilding the body. The body will always try to maintain a balance. I have a bit bias when it comes to exercise because I believe moderation, changing up routine and rest is what will ultimately put the body into the most healthy balanced state....moderation in all good things:) However, I support you in your goal, good luck!
