Trouble Losing Weight?
Most weight gain is a result of poor dietary choices and/or a
decrease in physical activity. Be honest with yourself and
re-evaluate your dietary choices and lifestyle. Are you
making healthy choices? Try out one of our
customized weight management
programs.
Most people who carry excess weight usually
have developed or are beginning to develop other health
problems. What aches and pains have you developed in the last
few years?
Carrying excess weight causes your body to
slowly deteriorate. The poor dietary choices that have been
made, lead to malnutrition and toxicity. The lack of physical
activity causes circulation to become poor, digestion to slow and
all of the body’s processes to become less effective. What
first starts off as weight gain and a decrease in energy, will soon
lead to irritating physical effects such as sore and stiff joints,
constipation, asthma etc. Eventually, this will lead to more
serious degenerative diseases. While this process can happen
to anyone over time, it is more likely to happen sooner and more
intensely in someone who carries excess weight.
The Basics of Weight
Loss
There are no magic tricks or pills when it comes to losing
weight. For most people it has taken years of poor diet and
lack of exercise to reach their current weight. In order to
begin to lose the excess pounds, good nutrition and lifestyle
changes, including exercise are the first items to be
addressed.
Like anything else that is new to the body,
start slowly incorporating the good things. The concept is
very simple.
- Eat fresh, whole foods consisting of lots of
fruits and vegetables.
- Eat lean meats such as chicken and turkey
(white is best), and fish.
- Eat small portions, but more frequently
throughout the day.
- Eliminate high refined foods, processed foods
and sugar.
- Do not overeat
- Do not eat late at night
- Drink lots of water
There are also many ways to combine different
types of foods in order to lose weight. The most important
thing is to find a plan that works for you. Regardless of how
you wish to proceed, these basic guidelines will always apply.
Exercise is also a key element in losing
weight. The concept is simple.
- All physical activity is good
- Start slow – walking 15 minutes a day is a
great start. Work up from that point.
- Find activities you like and provide a
challenge, yet can be completed.
- Exercise regularly.
Diet and exercise are key elements to losing
weight.
Cleansing and Weight Loss
While there are no true ‘shortcuts’ to help you lose weight,
cleansing prior to or during a weight loss program has been shown
to increase success. Both in terms of the amount of weight
lost and in keeping it off. A thorough 30 day cleanse is not only
useful for helping lose excess weight, but is also an essential
part of achieving and maintaining good health.
A 30 day cleanse will help rid the body of
toxins by stimulating your body’s 7 channels of elimination (the
liver, lungs, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, and lymphatic
system). By cleansing the body it becomes more
efficient. This plays a key factor in weight loss and weight
control. This general cleanse will also help your body
prepare for the increase in physical activity that you are about to
start. It works to improve your digestive system and enhance
nutrient absorption. This in turn will help increase energy
levels and metabolism – IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF WEIGHT LOSS AND
MAINTAINENCE.
