Simone said that those who follow the diet, including Elle, tried to avoid red meat, wheat, dairy, sugar and processed food while possible to ‘create the optimal pH balance in the body’.
They try to eat clean 80 per cent of the week and relax the diet for 20 per cent of the week.
‘Pure alkaline would be too tricky. ‘It’s about trying to have whole foods that come from nature. We can’t all live on smoothies, we can’t all do yoga 24/7 and hold down a job,’ she said.
