How to test your body's pH

Day one –Eat your typical daily diet and drink your typical beverage consumption throughout the day

-          6am to 9am - Test your body’s pH first thing in the morning upon waking by placing the yellow end of the test strip into your stream of urine for a few seconds. Compare the color of the tip of the strip with the chart provided with the test strip. Write down the result.

-          Noon – Repeat the urine test and write down the result

-          6pm – Repeat the urine test and write down the result

-          9pm – Midnight – Final test of the day and write down the result

Day two – Drink no alcohol, soda, coffee or tea – drink only water (preferably ph neutral water or Fiji Water) – at least half of your body weight in ounces or ideally one liter per 50 lbs of body weight. Eat your normal and typical diet

Day three – Continue drinking only water and eating your typical diet

-          6am to 9am - Test your body’s pH first thing in the morning upon waking by placing the yellow end of the test strip into your stream of urine for a few seconds. Compare the color of the tip of the strip with the chart provided with the test strip. Write down the result.

-          Noon – Repeat the urine test and write down the result

-          6pm – Repeat the urine test and write down the result

-          9pm – Midnight – Final test of the day and write down the result

Day four – Continue drinking only water, but consume only raw fruits before noon and raw vegetables after noon.

Day five – Drink only water and eat only raw fruit before noon and raw vegetables after noon

-          6am to 9am - Test your body’s pH first thing in the morning upon waking by placing the yellow end of the test strip into your stream of urine for a few seconds. Compare the color of the tip of the strip with the chart provided with the test strip. Write down the result.

-          Noon – Repeat the urine test and write down the result

-          6pm – Repeat the urine test and write down the result

-          9pm – Midnight – Final test of the day and write down the result

Compute the results for each day by adding all 4 numbers together and dividing by four – this will give you your average pH level for that particular day. How does each day compare? You should have gotten progressively more alkaline each day. Ideally your pH should be around 7.4 – a healthy daily range would be between 6.5 and 8.0. The most acidic reading for your body should be first thing in the morning due to the fact that your body has detoxified and removed lactic acids while you slept. The most alkaline reading for your body should occur in the late afternoon and early evening as your body has become alkaline from the assimilation of a healthy diet, air, sunlight, exercise and movement throughout the day. If you average below 7, contact me for consultation and/or coaching at sean@seandon.com

You see, it's quite easy to learn how to test your body's pH

The "Healthy Weigh" to lose weight

Thanks to all of my followers who kept up with my 90 day challenge to lose 30 pounds over the last few months. I lost 26 pounds in 90 days and the last pesky 4 pounds took an additional 20 days to lose, but it's done - 31.2 pounds in 110 days. It feels good to hit the goal and put it behind me - never to be done again! That was my healthy version of Morgan Spurlock's "Super Size Me" and once is enough for me.

It was really important to me that I do this entire process and make it public for several reasons:

1. I wanted to prove that even a vegetarian who exercises semi-regularly can, in fact, gain a substantial amount of weight in a short period of time.
2. I wanted to demonstrate that a substantial amount of weight can be lost in a short period of time - naturally through healthy, tolerable (even enjoyable), effective methodologies - without access to a gym or workout equipment.
3. I wanted to demonstrate the effectiveness of accountability by making my goal and intentions public.
4. I wanted to prove the power of persistance and determination in spite of obstacles.
5. Lastly, I wanted to dispel the myths: "that I can eat whatever I want and not gain a pound" and "that Sean Donovan is too extreme and intense in his methodologies" or that "I have resources that others don't have or can't afford."

I am human - just like you. I have temptations and fall off the wagon at times - just not as often or as long as some people. When I do occassionally break down, I know how to immediately and effectively undo the damage and "detox my sins." I'm honest and not afraid to admit when I get derailed or seek help when I need it. I hold myself accountable and elicit the help of others who I respect to help me in my journies. I lead by example and teach others to do the same.

I want to share some secrets with you in hopes that my information will be empowering to you in your pursuit of your goals for better health, weight loss, improved energy, decreased stress, increased mental clarity and overall success. I want to offer my help, advice and coaching to you so that I can positively impact your life and help you become the best person you were destined to be.
