A weight loss cleanse can be easier to follow than a diet which can be time consuming. In addition, cleansing will help you clear built up toxins that can be stored in fatty areas and when done right, may help you reset your metabolism. As you cleanse, you can find out what foods make you feel tired and sick and what foods keep your energy up.
Your weight loss cleanse can be made easier when you keep things simple. Forget the measuring or counting calories. By following these steps, you no longer have to read and analyze fat grams, calories or sodium. You will also learn how healthy eating and nutrition can give you the energy and metabolism that keeps weight off for good.
Step 1 - Quit all junk food. We all know what they are; chips, sodas, fat food (I mean fast food), candies and so on. Junk foods not only add weight, but eating them can literally stop your body from losing weight! They may also contain chemicals such as preservatives or dyes that can be stored in fatty areas of the body causing you to hold on to weight and they can even interfere with thyroid function.
Step 2 - Try to avoid all processed foods. These are foods that are pre-made or packaged with the intent of saving time in the kitchen. A reality check might prove that this does not have to be true. In fact, you can chop vegetables for about 4 days worth of salad and keep it in your refrigerator. When you’re ready to eat, simple grab a handful. This is quicker than opening and heating a can of soup. If you do eat packaged foods, buy it at your local health food store. These can be healthier if they use organic ingredients and less chemicals for processing. Check the label - the less ingredients it has, the healthier the food is - which is important for a weight loss cleanse.
Step 3 - Make the bulk of your meals fresh and whole. Eat mostly fruits and veggies. After that eat protein the size of your palm and 1/2 a serving of grains such as wild rice. Put the food on your plate and make sure 1/2 to 3/4 of the plate is filled with vegetables. None of these foods will have labels because they are whole, natural foods. If you use sauces to cook with, keep them to a minimum and try to find organic if possible. Drink only water and herbal teas.
Step 4 - Take fiber supplements twice a day such as psyllium or crushed flax seeds. Fiber supplements add bulk to help your body remove excess waste. They also absorb toxins from the intestinal tract. Also, taking your fiber 10-15 minutes before meals may help you feel fuller, sooner.
Step 5 - During your weight loss cleanse, supplement your nutrition by adding whole food supplements to your daily regimen. This should include a whole food vitamin so you are sure to get all your vitamins and minerals. Using a product that is made from “whole foods” as opposed to the synthetic version will ensure your body uses most of the nutrients without causing toxic side-effects. Also take EFA’s or Essential Fatty Acids. This supplement supplies oils that your body needs to keep joints mobile, skin and hair healthy, balance your hormones, are necessary for proper brain function for healthy moods - and they help you lose weight!
Step 6 - Incorporate daily exercise utilizing the circuit training effect. Circuit training burns more fat and calories and breaks up your routine to make exercise more effective. Exercise raises metabolism, boosts your mood, stimulates circulation and can help your body clear excess waste and weight.
Circuit train at home by using resistance exercise alternating with aerobic exercise. You don’t even need to buy special equipment if you don’t want to. First, put on music to help you get pumped up. Then choose about six resistance exercise like push-ups, lunges, or jump squats. Keep a goal of doing three sets for each exercise of 9-15 reps each. Start by doing one set of resistance exercise followed by one minute of cardio such as running in place, exercise bike if you have one, jumping jacks or rebounding. Then do another set of resistance followed by another set of cardio (aerobics) and so on until you have done 30-40 minutes of exercise.
Write out these six steps and post them where you will read them every day. Don’t eat in restaurants for now and instead, collect recipes for whole foods. You can find many free ones on the net! Use a weight loss cleanse so you can be summer-ready with a healthier body and mind.
