Running: A Fever

Get the book: http://RunningAFEVER.com/tb12book This week's episode is a continuation of my discussion of the diet outlined in Tom Brady's book "The TB12 Method". Tom Brady's diet is 80% alkalyzing foods and 20% acidifying foods. A pH of 7 is the goal, and it takes that combination to get there. In general, vegetables are alkalyzing, meat is acidifying, but here is Tom's short list of specific examples, and some of them are quite surprising. Alkalyzing: ------------- Artichokes Beets Broccoli Brussel Sprouts Cabbage Carrots Cauliflower Chicory Cucumbers Dandelion greens Escarole or Endive Green beans Lettuce (except Iceberg) Potatoes Red cabbage Spinach Squash Sweet peppers Sweet potatoes Vegetable juice made in a juicer Yams Zucchini Acidifying: ------------- Beef Black currants Butter Cheese Chickpeas Cold Cuts Crayfish Hazelnuts Herring Kiwis Lobster Mackerel Mandarin oranges Millet Nectarines Oranges Peanuts Pecans Pineapples Pistachio nuts Pork Pumpkin seeds Raspberries Red currants Salmon Soybeans
