Weight-Loss Rules to Rethink

The holiday season is quickly upon us, all the holiday parties, and festivities that make this season so special. Has anyone thought about losing extra lbs. so after the holiday season is behind us, we are not agonizing over how much weight we gained? Every year millions of Americans think about another New Year's resolution, "I want to lose weight this year," but how many people jump off the wagon by Valentine's Day?


I know I have finally looked at my weight loss situation, and finally got the hang of it, and my New Year's resolution will not be to lose weight this year. At the end of this blog I will show you products that have made a huge difference in my life. I lost 26 lbs with this product and I know you can too.

Let’s see now. Are carbs the source of all dietary evil - or is it fat? Is dairy supposed to be good for weight loss these days, or bad? Is protein’s day in the sun over, or just beginning? And should you be eating and exercising according to your blood type or your Ayurvedic dosha, or just strictly counting calories?

If you feel confused or clueless, it’s no wonder. Every season brings a new weight-loss trend. Infomercials on diet supplements and exercise gadgets promise to help shed unwanted pounds, and we’re bombarded daily with diet and exercise tips - from folk wisdom to the latest medical research - which often seem contradictory or incomplete. With so much weight-loss advice to wade through, many folks simply throw up their hands in despair and decide that they might as well sit on the couch and eat whatever they like.

No surprise, then, that we just keep getting fatter: Nearly 65 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese. And the more obese our nation becomes, the greater our collective risk for many deadly and costly diseases, including type two diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and breast, colon and prostate cancers - to name just a few.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that we are not powerless. We needn’t let our lack of knowledge about nutrition and fitness prevail over our common sense and our desire to live healthy, happy lives. We do, however, need to rethink what we think we know about dropping pounds and keeping them off.

For starters, we can forget about finding instant fixes and miracle cures for what are essentially pathological lifestyle habits. “We must stop falling for the myths that keep us fat and perpetuate an endless cycle of weight loss and gain,” says Mark Hyman, MD, former long-time co-medical director at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, and current editor in chief of the journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine.

As much as we all might like the idea of a “magic bullet,” most experts agree with Hyman that healthy, sustainable weight loss doesn’t come from extreme measures or single-faceted diets. Nor does it come from relying on heavily marketed low-fat or low-carb foods and diet drinks (which, in fact, have been shown to hinder weight-loss efforts by messing up metabolism, contributing to cravings and undermining energy levels).

If you really want to lose excess weight and keep it off (or if you just want to maintain your current weight and stay healthy for the long haul), start by putting aside any worries about your love handles or saddlebags. Instead, start focusing on the space between your ears. Any weight-loss misconceptions or misinformation harbored there could present a real danger to your weight-management success.

A Clean Start To Healthy Living

Digestive system health will help keep you moving forward.

A growing number of health experts agree...internal cleansing and detoxification help prepare your body for optimal health.

Think of an air filter that's rarely (or possibly, never) cleaned. Not a pretty picture is it? And when you think of the effects of this dirty build up, the image gets much worse. A dirty filter means clean air can't circulate properly. In fact, it most often causes dirty air and unclean particles to pass back through the system, potentially leading to costly damage. Much like a filter, your digestive system can benefit from a regular cleansing program and consistent support for healthy function.

The digestive system is one of the largest organ system in the body and certainly one of the most important because of its direct association with so many other health issues. It's made up of the digestive tract, comprised of the mouth, esophagus, stomach intestines, and colon, as well as digestive organs, including the liver and pancreas.

When the food you eat is properly digested, the healthy nutrients are absorbed to provide the fuel the body requires for everyday wellness and vitality. Unfortunately, current eating trends, poor dietary choices, prescribed and over-the counter drugs, and a myriad of evironmental factors have created a situation where the digestive system becomes overburdened. It can struggle to function or eliminate efficiently.

That's when build up can occur, toxins accumulate, and the system will become challenged with problems, such as: heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, yeast infections, weight gain, lack of energy, or other conditions.

Your liver also performs essential functions, including the production of clotting factors, proteins, bile, and more than a thousand different enzymes; the packaging of cholesterol; the storage of energy to fuel muscles, maintenance of normal blood sugar concentration, the regulation of several hormones; and the detoxification of drugs and poisons.

Supplementing with nutrients that support healthy digestive system and liver function can promote your body's ability to filter out the bad and absorb all the good. And, when you maintain healthy system function, you'll also help optimize all the other great things you do for your body...like when you're eating right and staying physically active.

A full intestinal cleanse at least twice each year, followed up by weekly maintenance and quality detoxification support, can set the stage for a fresh start as you continually renew your commitment to a healthy lifestyle and weight management goals.

Health Maintenance

Once you achieve your health and fitness goals, don't compromise on your success. Keep up on your full intestinal cleanse and detox, and maintain healthy living with these tips:

Follow a healthy diet that includes foods rich in fiber
Drink plenty of water
Exercise
Support health immune system function
Supplement with whole plant concentrates, including nutrient rich greens
Compliment your healthy lifestyle with products that promote
regularity and healthy digestive function
Maintain levels of good bacteria within your system
Supplement your body with digestive enzymes
Take in nutrients that support healthy liver function
