This is merely a guideline and to stick to this will be of great benefit to your child. To be regimental does not always work so maybe if the diet is followed in the week and at the weekend they have treats it will be easier, and rather get a little better than not better at all.

An important rule to stick to, is to make sure that at each meal (when you look at your plate) you have 70-80% alkaline and 20-30% acid. Most fruit and vegetables, some nuts, and some dairy are alkaline. Any dry foods or foods that have been processed in any way fall in the acid group.
