Lose Weight With a Weight Loss Detox

A weight loss detox is a specialized cleanse that can help you do more than lose weight. You can also gain energy, feel more motivated and even overcome health issues when you learn how to flush the stored toxins out along with the fat.
Scientific studies are proving that our bodies do store toxins and chemicals in fatty tissue. These may be from pesticides or environmental and industrial pollution including runoff into our drinking water, plastics, and more. In fact, research is finding buildup in babies’ blood before they are even born. As science finds more evidence that these toxins can account for unexplained weight gain, many more people are considering a weight loss detox as a new solution.
Pollutants from industrial chemicals and other toxins affect us in many ways. Doctors and scientists are becoming more aware that some even mimic hormones and cause genetic alterations. Some toxins are linked to Parkinson’s disease and others to thyroid malfunction. Most are degenerative disease which may not show up for years.
Added to all this is the fact that your body stores waste. In fact, when you overeat, or eat too many junk foods, your body becomes burdened or overwhelmed. This is because the body is designed to only digest a certain amount. More than this can cause your body to store the excess as fat and extra weight.
Chemical toxins are no less a threat. They may be on a microscopic level, however we consume or absorb them every day, every meal, and even going outside to breathe. Once again, your organs of detoxification including your liver, become overburdened. This can cause it to be sluggish. Since this organ also helps metabolize fat, we want to ensure it is working as best as it can.
You can help yourself by taking action and checking out a weight loss detox. Think of it this way, you can wait for research to tell you not to worry, you might wait for a new medication or you can apply some simple techniques to help your body cleanse itself.
Cleanse your colon to be sure this main organ of elimination is in good working order. This is as easy as following a cleansing diet by replacing junk foods and processed foods with more fresh, organic fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Drink plenty of fresh, filtered spring water. Then, add a colon cleansing supplement to help remove built up waste.
Strengthen your body cleanse by using certain herbs, supplements and foods that have been known to attract and help eliminate toxins stored in fat. These may include barley grass, wheat grass, cilantro, or spirulina.
Pamper yourself and help your body cleanse at the same time. Body therapies such as body wraps, massage, dry heat saunas and Endermologie help you remove toxins, fat and inches while helping your relax during your weight loss detox.

6 Strange Dietary Bedfellows

[ Note: The guest writer section of weightlossplansandtips.com is the most popular section of all. This is due to having articles, videos, audio and tips like the one below written by guest authors. This particular post was written by fitness and nutrition author and expert Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you and I know that you will enjoy it as much as I did.]
What do these six things have in common?
– McDonalds
– Renée Zellweger
– Epileptic children
– Yours truly
– Most bodybuilding and fitness competitors
– Kiefer Sutherland
Give up?
All the above employ the strategies of the low-carb dietplan.
Recently researchers have found that low-carb nutrition plan reduced the number of seizures in epileptic children.
Most of the world’s leanest physiques get that way on a regimen, limited or not, of low-carbs and higher protein.
Even McDonalds is getting into the act.
Even Renée Zellweger.
Even Kiefer Sutherland.
Even me.
Kinda.
Read on and I’ll explain what I mean…
———————————————————————-|
Why Low-Carb Works
———————————————————————-|
When McDonalds starts counting carb grams in their food, you know someone is either jumping on a trend or finally seeing the light.
In this case, both — but it is a good thing. Low-carb dietplans. They work.
For the masses, they work because they are the easiest nutrition plan to follow when you’re busy.
McDonalds and stars like Kiefer Sutherland figured this out. The busy on-the-go guy or gal doesn’t want to make the time to prepare six meals per day and carry them around in Tupperware.
When choosing my own lifestyle nutrition plan, time and convenience played a major role. I looked at role models who were very busy, formerly obese, and very lean.
Most of them rely in some form or fashion on a low-carb strategy.
Low-carb also works, much to the hem and haw of traditional doctors and nutritionists, due to the way the body processes fuel.
For those of us fortunate enough to grow up on whole grains and very low-sugar mealplans, a moderate to higher-carb nutrition plan may work just fine.
But most of us grew up eating junk.
Processed foods, fast foods, and downright junk was the cornerstone of our dietplans. That puts your body on the “carb defense.”
After years of abuse the body becomes resistant to carbohydrates. The insulin they produce can cause all sorts of health issues, fat-burning problems, and more.
When carbs are removed, even healthy carbs like whole grains, the body has time to re-adjust.
In some cases, you can go back to a moderate-carb plan with whole grains and fruits after a period of time.
In others, you are a “low-carber” for life.
Guess which one I am?
Finally, low-carb works because you tend to eat less. Fat is very satiating, and most low-carb plans are fairly high in dietaryfat.
So, in recap:
— Easy and convenient;
— Metabolically important for carb recovery;
— Lower in total food volume (eat less)
Do not make light of that first point. Any plan that is not simple is one very few people will stick to. Making your plan simple and tasty is key, even if that plan is not “perfect” by nutritional standards.
Now, by far, the best low-carb dietplan in the world (yes, I’m bias for good reason!) is this:

EODD works so well because your carbs are low for “most” of the time. Not “all” of the time. And the times when your carbs are not low you can enjoy your favorite foods.
Personally I enjoy pizza and burgers on my non-low-carb days. You can enjoy whatever you want if you just keep it reasonable.
You see, there’s no need to diet-perfect.
Progress always trumps perfection.
———————————————————————-|
Why Low-Carb Fails
———————————————————————-|
There are two primary reasons for the failure of the low-carb nutrition plans: boredom and media bashing.
One causes irritability. The other, doubt. Unless you’re certain that your plan will work, you will eventually go off of it.
This is true of any plan, no matter how ideal it is. Certainty rules.
That’s why I believe in having a flexible, tasty plan like EODD.
Then boredom is easily solved.
I share my own unique ideas about “cycling” carbs and fats in the presentation here:
click.here ——> My Favorite Foods Diet Presentation
Using my cycle strategy you will rarely if ever become bored. And your body will burn more bodyfat too. It’s just a cheap metabolic trick…but boy, it works.
The second reason is media and medical bias. One study after another has proven that low-carb plans, even the Atkins plan, works and is safe to use for most people.
Check with your doctor first, of course.
I’ve seen researchers get down-right angry when the results come back. In one study, carried out for a full year, the low-carb plan out-performed the so-called “healthy” Dean Ornish plan.
Lower blood fats, more weightloss, and more energy were the results.
My preference always comes back to low-carb nutrition. I just cycle it in a way that allows me to get plenty of veggies, some grains, and ample fiber.
Even a slice of cheesecake here and there… : )
Hey…I said “low-carb”, not “low-life!”
Yours In Fitness,
J O N B E N S O N
P.S. One of these days the mainstream medical community will wake up to the fact that 90% of the population will never eat 15 servings of veggies per day.
While this may be “optimal”, it’s not at all practical. I’d rather give you down-to- earth practical nutrition advice that you CAN and WILL follow — and enjoy.
Makes sense, doesn’t it?
