Our bodies also find themselves in this place of prioritization when it comes to choosing between detoxification or burning fat. This is because our liver, our main organ that's responsible for detoxification, is also responsible for burning fat. And because so many people take in numerous chemicals each day that require detoxification, our bodies de-prioritize burning fat in favor of detoxification. They do this the same way I'm currently de-prioritizing doing the dishes to write this article.

However, if you want to make losing weight easy you'll need to get your liver - your prime fat burning and detoxification organ - on your side. And you can do this by cleaning out the toxins that are currently stored in your liver and throughout your body.

Your liver is a filter for your blood. It filters out the toxins and chemicals that are common in diet and lifestyle habits. And like the air filter in your car, your liver also becomes congested and clogged with toxins. Some estimates are that over three fourth's of the space in this four to five pound organ are currently occupied by storing toxins in most people's bodies. Since I've actively cleaned out this mess from my own liver, and far more from the rest of my body, you're not going to hear me argue with this seemingly large estimate.

With body and liver cleansing techniques you can actually clean out these toxins from your liver to give it the space it needs to burn fat. You can also adopt, as much as possible, a chemical-free lifestyle to dramatically reduce the number of incoming chemicals in your body - which will free some of your liver's energy for burning fat.

An easy way to do this is by making most of your food choices from the produce section of an organic grocery store. You may need to learn some new food preparation techniques to make this way of eating both simple and delicious, so by all means do so.

Buying your soaps, shampoos, and detergents at a health food store will also considerably cut back on the number and harshness of chemicals that regularly enter the body through the skin. Finding natural cosmetics is another a step in the right direction - and all of these small steps translate to big improvements for both health and weight loss. In fact, you'll be amazed at what a difference they can make.
