With an alkaline lifestyle and diet change your body is bound to react depending on how different your diet is compared to before. This is the reason why most diets work initially since your body's metablolism say "thanks for the changes" But it isn't permanent with most diets as they can't be sustained. This lifestyle though is precisely what you body was designed to function on. Your body is adjusting to the new foods and is processing them easier and your metabolism is more effective with the healthier, more digestible foods. It's important to keep a close watch on your weight. It shouldn't drop much more and perhaps you will either stay here if this is your ideal body weight or you will level out a bit and gain a couple pounds. I would strongly suggest a live blood analysis and/or speaking with an alkaline consultant since you have already figured out your weakness. I can connect you with Jason who is available by phone and can guide your journey more closely, or just consult you minimally, if you don't live close to where you can find someone. Let me know. Your thyroid could very well be out of sorts and it should begin to correct itself with a clean diet. Dr. Young also has an excellent supplement called <a href="http://www.innerlightinc.com/ProductPage.aspx?ItemID=26&ID=alkalinesisters" rel="nofollow">Metaboline</a> that I have used and it works nicely. If you live in the US it is easy to order, but for some crazy reason this is one of the only supplements he makes that can't cross the border. There are ways of course to get it but I'll leave that to you if you live outside of the US. For the PMS, you will find that this will also sort itself out. Just be sure to get good amounts of healthy vegan protein daily from a good variety of veggies (most every veggie provides a small amount of protein), legumes, whole grains, hemp seeds, avocados and raw nuts. If you are low on protein this could make your periods irregular or uncomfortable. As for the alkaline water, the ph drops are used only for water that is not alkaline. it is important to first start with clean purified water, free of chemical additives like chlorine and then alkalize the water with key minerals, and structure the water so that the molecular structure of the water is properly assimilated. An alkaline water filter system does all of this. I find that some bottled waters feel like a lead weight in my tummy and they don't assimilate easily as they are not structured waters. The nicest waters are smooth, a little sweet, and they absorb very quickly into your system without making you run to the wash room immediately as your body absorbs much more of it into the cells before flushing it thru. You won't get this kind of water unless you have your own alkaline filtration system or buy alkaline water bottles, which may not stay alkaline for as long as the product indicates. But you can get close. Doing what you are doing with filtered water and adding drop is the most economical way to begin and it is effective for your health too. And Yes you could also add the lemon too! This whole water thing can be so confusing and there is a lot to learn about water. I recommend <a href="http://www.freewaterfacts.com/store_categories.php" rel="nofollow">Gwens site</a>-she's a wizard on water! I hope this helps you:) HI Meghan Thank you for stopping in.

Sorry for the confusion. It is a handy stick to have. It won't filter bad stuff out but it will enhance the mineral content. I use it for travel in water bottles or filtered water. Always add lemon to your water when in doubt and in a pinch as it will purify somewhat and alkalize a little too! HI Barbie

I have a few questions though. I have low thyroid (hypothyroid) and I haven’t gone on any medications yet because my doctor is just discovered it during my last blood work done in January, so they are monitoring it for now. (I’m 21 yrs old) I also have bad PMS that i really need relief from... I am starting to go vegan/raw and that seems to have been a good choice so far, however I lost a bit of weight (which i don't want to) I went from 105 to 97lbs. I'm hoping it will balance out again naturally soon. I am concerned that if I go on this alkaline diet I will lose even more weight which i can't really afford... I was wondering what you thought. I am a little confused with the pH and alkalize filter concept. Do pH drops alkalize water, or simply further alkalize already alkalized water? (whew haha) I don't have an alkalizing filter yet, but if I was to get pH drops to put into regular filtered water would it be somewhat of the same effect? Maybe add lemon also? It would be so great if you could explain this a bit further, thanks! Hi ladies,
