Kathleen's Diet Planner Features

"...this program appears to compete strongly with ones that cost a lot more. Whoever wrote it did a great job. I've been doing nutritional consulting work for some time and one of the things I've found helpful is being able to analyze a person's intake in order to show them where they might be going wrong. The "Standard American Diet" is one of the most acid forming diets in the world. No wonder we're a nation of gall stones, liver stones, kidney stones, along with all the associated health problems associated with such a diet. Dr. Baroody's book, "Alkalize or Die" is quite to the point."
