When something becomes popular, invites criticism from other sources. The pH recently popular diet miracle is no different.

The main criticism of the diet is that it encourages people to become vegetarians and vegans. Critics say the scheme, especially with its omission of dairy products (vegetarian source of protein), is dangerously low in protein. However, this criticism comes from the misconception that they need huge amounts of protein. The recent popularity of diets low in carbohydrates (which are in fact only diets rich in protein) has re-cemented this myth in the minds of many people. Health has become the equivalent of eating red meat and dairy products.

However, there are many sources of natural and healthy proteins that don't have the harmful acidic effects of red meat and dairy products. The truth is, most people get too much protein and not too little. Women require about 45 grams of protein per day, and men need 55 grams. Beans contain at least 8 grams of protein per half cup. So it is really quite easy to get enough protein on a vegetarian diet.

Another criticism on this issue is calcium. Many people equate with milk bones strong. However, the American women consume an average of two pounds of milk per day, yet 30 million of them developing osteoporosis. If milk helped make bones stronger, then the opposite would be true. A study by Cornell-trained nutritionist Amy Joy Lanou shows that there is no particular link between dairy products and bone health in children and young adults. There are many sources of calcium available in the alkalizing food categories that provide protection against osteoporosis.

Many critics also argue that the emphasis on vegetables and fresh food is the real reason behind the success that people receive from the diet. The pH miracle diet suggests eating almost 70 percent of vegetables and fruits acceptable. Critics ignore the importance of the pH balance of the diet.

However, there have been many people who have experienced great results after eliminating wheat, an acidic food. Wheat is not a food that one normally associates with ill health; however, eliminating wheat has been a godsend to many people who have suffered the symptoms of over-acidified diets. The amount of alkalizing vegetables in the diet will definitely do anybody good, whether or not they take the rest of the diet to heart. By eating from the list of alkaline foods, you will be improving your health no matter how strict you are on the diet.

This brings us to another popular criticism of the book. Many people argue that the pH miracle diet program is too strict for daily life. The elimination of common foods such as animal protein, milk and wheat seem overwhelming for people. They can not imagine going through an entire day without eating something from one of these food groups. The idea of sticking to a diet which relies heavily plant seems too rigid and strict. However, many people who use the pH miracle diet had beneficial results without being 100% strict with the rules of the diet.

Like many other diets, diet, the pH miracle describes step towards better health. The emphasis here is on action. It is unreasonable to expect anyone to make a 180-degree change in his eating habits overnight. The adoption of a slower approach to changing your diet will create more good results. If the plan is followed word for word, it is difficult at the beginning
