Weight Loss Cleanse in 6 Steps
A weight loss cleanse can be more effective than following a calorie counting diet. In fact, cleansing can help you clear out built up toxins that may be stored in and around fat cells while at the same time helping you to reset your metabolism. Also, you can learn what foods make you sick and tired and which foods give you energy.
Following a weight loss cleanse can be easy when you keep things simple. Don’t waste time counting calories or analyzing sodium grams. By incorporating some simple steps you will no longer have to live by labels. You can also learn how eating healthy will give you the energy and metabolism needed to keep the weight off once and for all.
Step 1 – Quit eating all junk food. All of us know what they are. The list includes; ice cream, chips, sodas, candies, french fries, and fat foods (I meant fast foods). These foods are loaded with fat hoarding chemicals than can get stored in fat tissues and make you look more bloated. And they may even interfere with thyroid function. They add weight and may even make it very difficult to lose weight.
Step 2 – Eat as few processed foods as possible. This means foods that are packaged and/or pre-made designed to save time. Do a reality check and see if it really does save you time. For example, you can chop some lettuce and veggies to throw a salad together in about the same time it takes to open and heat a can of soup. If you really do want the packaged food, look for the equivalent at a health food store. Check the ingredients – the less your food has, the better. More ingredients means more processing. A weight loss cleanse should help your body eliminate harmful ingredients.
Step 3 – Eat mainly whole, fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Also eat proteins such as chicken or fish, without preservatives or processing. Then add 1/2 serving of whole grains to your meal such as wild rice. Fill your plate before you eat, with 1/2 to 3/4 full of vegetables. Keep protein the size of your palm. Any of these foods should not have labels, as they are in their natural state. If you add sauces, use only a minimal amount and try to use organic if possible. Drink only fresh, spring 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 – As you use a weight loss cleanse, also use whole food supplements. First, try a whole food vitamin supplement to ensure you get all your nutrition. And the “whole food” version is more easily used by your body than the synthetic version. Also include Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) to your daily regimen. These are oils needed by your body to lubricate joints, keep skin and hair healthy, help keep hormones balanced, and they are necessary for proper brain function which may help keep your mood upbeat. And one of their greatest benefits, they can help you lose weight.
Step 6 – Exercise daily using a circuit training method. Circuit training is said to burn more fat and can help make your exercise routing more effective. Exercise raises your metabolism, stimulates circulation, elevates mood and can help your lymph clear toxins including excess waste (or weight).
Try circuit training at home by alternating aerobic type exercise with resistance exercise. You can do this without special equipment, if you choose. Put on some music to help set the tone and choose resistance exercise you want to do which may include push-ups, squats and lunges. Choose four to six exercises with a goal of performing three sets of each. Do a set of resistance exercise (say 12 squats) followed by one minute of aerobic exercise. You can jump rope, use an exercise bike if you have one, or even use a rebounder. Follow this by another set of resistance and then another minute of aerobics. Continue this way until you exercise for a total of 30-40 minutes.
Make a list of these six steps and put them where you will see them each day. Stay away from restaurants for now. Try collecting recipes to help you stay away from fast foods. There are many free ones on the net. Help yourself with a weight loss cleanse so you are ready for summer with a healthier body and mind.
