Don't drive yourself crazy counting calories if you are trying to lose weight. There's a bigger picture here -- and more to weight loss than eating carrots and living at the gym.
Several factors contribute to weight gain -- and therefore weight loss. Without understanding how those pounds got on your hips and belly in the first place, you'll never figure out how to get them off. Here are the most common reasons you put the weight on in the first place: too many calories, lack of exercise and chemicals and toxins in the environment.
The first two are self explanatory. You will gain weight if you eat Twinkies all day and sit on the couch! So, let's focus on the "chemicals and toxins" part of the weight gain equation.
Do you know...
On average, 72 herbicides, pesticides and insecticides are used on the fruits and vegetables you eat
There are heavy metals, bacteria and chemicals in your drinking water
Your breathing air is loaded with impurities, especially PAH toxin
The animals you eat are injected with hormones & antibiotics
Toxic metals and compounds have recently been found in common household items and toys
So how do chemicals and impurities in the environment make you gain weight?
Our body's natural response and protective mechanism is to coat these ingested toxins with excess fat and water. The more impurities and chemicals you are exposed to, the more fat your body will produce. Your body shoves these fat cells "into the closet" (more commonly known as the belly bulge) until it can flush them from your system. The problem is, your body will never get to it, just like you will never get to that final item on your to-do list that's been there for the last 3 months.
So, if you want to lose weight naturally -- there are three areas to focus on: moderate calorie intake, regular exercise and nutritional cleansing.
Without balanced nutritional cleansing, you will never permanently lose those extra pounds and achieve permanent fitness. You may find you lose weight initially with a traditional diet plan, but it is very likely you will gain it back, and then some, if you are not incorporating nutritional cleansing.
Cleansing helps your body eliminate toxic waste, and when the waste is gone, there is no need to keep those extra fat cells around. All those fat cells that were harboring harmful chemicals will just melt away. When done correctly, cleansing will help you lose several pounds of toxic fat in less than a week.
Just look at celebrities like Gweneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore and Melissa Joan Hart -- they all swear by cleansing to lose weight. It will work for you too!
