How much can I lose weight with this diet form?
Whether and how much can and should be lost with the acid-base diet depends on various factors. Depending on how much the person has weighed before, how the individual constitution is and how the diet was before, the weight loss should be individually adapted. Weight loss that is too fast can have fatal, health consequences. Even if too much weight is lost overall, this can cause enormous damage to health.
How can I avoid the yoyo effect with this diet?
A yo-yo effect can best be prevented by changing and adjusting the diet to suit the individual body. If the organism gets the nutrients it needs, for example, “ravenous hunger attacks” are low. These “ravenous appetite attacks” contribute to a yo-yo effect.
But also sudden changes in nutrition can trigger yoyo-effects, because the metabolism has to change accordingly. Therefore a permanent slow change of diet, which includes all important nutrients and is individually adjusted, is advisable. Furthermore, sufficient exercise and stimulation of the body’s own so-called “happiness hormones” prevent a yoyo effect.
Medical evaluation of the diet
Since the acid-base diet contains many healthy foods and does without fats and calories count, it comes close to a balanced diet in principle. Consequently, it could support the immune system and general health. However, there are enormous differences between different authors, so that in some diets some nutrients are too little or even missing.
In the long run, this can cause serious health problems. In addition, there are the general dangers and risks of a diet.If an acid-base diet is to be followed, we recommend that you discuss this with a doctor you trust. The aim should be to achieve a permanent, adapted change in diet in combination with exercise and mental and physical balance.
What alternative diets are there to the acid-base diet?
There are a large number of different diets and within these diets there is a wide variety of variations. As well as the acid-base diet concept, not uniformly defined, many other diet concepts are also represented differently. Furthermore, it is difficult to recommend a uniform diet for an individual organism.
Each diet has its advantages and disadvantages. Since in most diets there is a yoyo effect, the success is only moderate. A permanent change of diet, possibly with medical support, is often more effective.
