I had to deal with some medical issues that caused a lot of changes in my life. During all that, I also changed up my diet and some routines but I was still feeling a little sluggish and dealt with a lot of inflammationg and such. I went to see a dietician and they recommended the PH Balancer.
I won't lie, the liquid form is not in any way shape or form tasty, but it is potent. It's made with organic foods and herbs and minerals and such. It was amazingly helpful to me when I was going through everything and really helped fill in some of the gaps that I had from my diet and regular daily vitamins.
I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it's at least worth a look-see to check it out and talk it over with your doctor and/or nutritionist.
Just another way for companies to "scare" you and have them purchase products based on psuedoscience.

I never took it because of the "PH" factor. My nutritionist recommended it because of the micronutrients in it and the way it helped with my inflammation. Also, I will totally accept the fact that it's not for everyone.
I also never thought of it as a quick fix to anything. I did a lot of changes to my diet and daily routines to build new healthy habits, this just helped fill in a few of the gaps. I will also admit that at the time they put me on this I was dealing with brain tumors (about golf ball size) that had basically killed my pituitary glad so, everything in my entire system was WAY outta whack. I didn't even know a product like this existed and I ONLY started taking it after consulting with both my doctor and my certified nutritionist.

We get questions all the time here from people asking what they can eat on keto. And I didn't specify that keto was the only elimination diet. I just said it is. And while yes eliminating some foods in people diets will save them, eliminating too much can do the opposite.
I have been on a diet for most of my life. I read and I have advanced degrees. So, your pigeonholing of me, a dumb hick, is not correct. My day is a lot like this one. No, I haven't had lasagna every day of the week. Variety is the spice of life.
Breakfast: Matcha tea latte, two eggs scrambled with spinach, bell peppers, and cheese.
Lunch: Paninos, spinach salad with strawberries with a poppyseed dressing.
Dinner: 2 servings of lasagna in meat and vegetable sauce (spinach, squash, mushrooms)
Snack: Nuts, beef jerky, cheese, 365 Double-Feature trail mix
I take vitamins, water, or zero-calorie Gatorade.
I don't think anyone really said any of those things. All he said was it's not uncommon for people embarking on a diet to not know what exactly to eat. We see many people on here eating in ways that are... not what would generally be considered healthy, to say the least. Is that you? Maybe, maybe not. Only you get to decide that for yourself. They're trying to give general advice to someone they don't know who asked for advice. It's best not to take it personally. If you want personalized advice, I would recommend asking for advice from people who know you personally... or give detailed personal information when asking.1 -
What about minerals and other vitamins that aren't provided if you're only doing keto?
vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B7, vitamin B12, calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus to name a few.
Also, are you saying that you'll never have over 25 grams of carbs in your diet daily with the exception of an indulge here and there. And how long have you been doing this?
I don’t take this personally? You do know this is personal, right? 🤭

No, I don't think it's personal. He's talking about the keto diet in general, not just you specifically. You can choose to take it personally, but does that really help you on any way?0 -
