We chatted with Dr Daryl Gioffre, who gave us a top-to-bottom guide to the alkaline diet. The low-acid diet is one that’s manageable, more about moderation, and something that celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson swear by. As Gioffre said:
“The alkaline diet is about balance. It is very manageable, and anyone can do it. People who I coach who have tried every other diet have success when they transition to the alkaline diet because it’s not about deprivation, it’s about moderation, and giving your body the nutrients and foods it needs to maintain a healthy pH balance. “
