Dear Readers,
What I am able to contribute to your good health and well being is to share my knowledge and experience losing weight on a little known but highly effective alkaline diet. I have tried the low carb and/or low calorie diets but nothing I have ever done has been more enjoyable and long lasting than this diet. At 68 years of age I have achieved what most women my age hope for and rarely accompllsh. I lost 31 pound going from 151.45 pounds in March 2009 to 120 pounds in five months. I went from a size 12 to size 8/6 and down one bra size which was a good thing. My energy has increased and confidence, too. I have been helped along the way by a nutritionist and can report excellent blood pressure, blood testing and a pain free life. I wish to share this transformative experience with you in articles that can help you get started on a diet that really works wonders. Also, my yoga articles are a passionate subject because yoga has changed my high anxiety levels to manageable without taking nerve calming meds. I also write about nature because nature calms my mind. It is such a gift from God for us to behold. Most of what I write about comes from the life I have lead and the people I have met and what valuable lessons I have learned from them. No one does it alone; no one goes alone.
