| Three Simple
Tips To Lose Weight and Detoxify the Body for 2007
Whether you use a medically-supervised
weight loss program or a standard weight loss program, you
want maximum, yet safe, results in a short period of time.
What are some points to consider?
One of the latest trends in weight
loss has been to take into account all the pesticides and
chemicals that our body accumulates from our environment.
Cells loaded with toxins can no longer perform their important
functions as well as those without, and research studies have
been discovering that it’s a lot easier for people to
lose weight when they’ve gone through a detoxification
process.
TIP ONE: Begin by utilizing a
detoxification program. Cleansing your system of toxins is
your shortcut to feeling better and reducing excess weight.
A medically-supervised plan works best, especially if you
are on prescription medications.
As we start your program, it
is critical to concentrate on goals. Set your health as your
#1 goal and write down a series of simple steps to achieve
your goals.
TIP TWO: Work closely with your
physician to carefully choose the right lab tests and pain-free
health scans which measure hormonal health, metabolic functions
and body toxicity.
TIP THREE: If you are over 25%
body fat, you have a higher percent of “Body Burden,“
or toxicity. Fat cells store toxins. Remember that your food
portions can contribute greatly to losing weight, just as
the choice of foods. Choose foods that are minimally processed
which have the greatest amount of nutrients in them and you’ll
never go wrong. Our metabolic weight management program can
help you achieve success.
The term “body composition”
refers primarily to the distribution of muscle and fat in
your body, and its measurement plays an important role in
your health. Excess body fat may lead to obesity and increases
the risk of getting many diseases. Monitor your weight loss
with muscle and fat measurements by keeping a weekly record.
If your muscle mass is decreasing while your body fat percentage
is increasing, it’s time to talk to your physician about
what could be causing this and how to get back on track.
Home body detox tips to ask your
physician:
• Organic apple cider vinegar,
in some cases, is helpful for detoxification and weight loss
to your diet. When should you not use it? How much is considered
too much?
• Milk Thistle can assist the liver with detoxification,
but herbal combinations may work better to accomplish the
task. Which is better for you?
• Soluble guar gum or psyllium
husks are two excellent fibers that can help provide enough
bulk matter in the colon. Knowing which fiber is best for
you is vital to your continued health and well-being.
• Water is essential
to any weight loss program, but how much is required for you?
Ask your physician how to calculate the amount you need that
can assure weight loss.
