Understanding dairy, carbohydrates and proteins 

Carbohydrates are fuel for the body, eat them when you need energy e.g breakfast and lunch, especially complex carbohydrates which have a slow energy release. If you don’t burn them off, the body will store carbohydrates as fat. Try to eat just protein, vegetables and salad in the early evening if you can.

Body cells are designed to be 80% water and 20% protein. If we eat too much protein cells become congested with it taking the pH out of balance. The body only needs about 2oz. protein per day. Protein is very acidic, especially red meat, so look at portion control.

Dairy can be very fattening and also very acidic, try Soya or rice milk as a lean alternative to milk.

Never skip meals or starve yourself; this slows down the metabolism and what little you do eat the body will store as reserves.
