The Secret New Way to Lose Weight

With all the "light" and fat free foods available, all the diet and exercise programs that you can find for free or cheap and all the support groups available, obesity is still on the rise. At the same time, we are told all you have to do to lose weight is eat right and exercise. Really? If it is so easy, why is it so hard for so many?

This is a big secret that many in the food and drug industry do not want you to know. Health gurus do not need it because they are some of the few that have been able to overcome the obstacles that you do not know about.

The truth is that not everyone can just eat right and exercise. We have become a world of convenience foods, fast foods and processed foods with a desire for instant gratification. When we try to eat right, most are overcome by the intense desire for the foods they enjoy. It is very much like an addiction. And you do not have to be obese or a compulsive eater to experience this.

Instant gratification is not a result you will get from eating right and exercising. In fact, results are slow to the point of seeming like your hard work is not paying off. Eating right may give you some sense of feeling better or more energy, but these alternate with mood swings, cravings and crankiness because we miss our food.

There are real, physical reasons why this is happening. Our foods are full of chemicals; some mimic hormones so throw our natural ones off balance, some are known to inhibit thyroid, and some interfere with our natural appetite controls. The imbalance in hormones along with excessive toxin burden on the body creates unexplained weight gain, inability to lose weight and sluggish metabolism.

At the same time, the fat free revolution has caused a majority of people who are trying to lose weight to become deficient in the healthy fats that are necessary. These fats are needed so your body can metabolize and eliminate bad fats. These healthy fats maintain happy and healthy moods and ward off food cravings. These fats help our digestion, nourish our brain, keep cholesterol low, and protect our hearts and arteries.

With all this going on, it is no wonder we are having a hard time. When you add all of the above together and put that burden on one person, which is not uncommon, you will find it hard to eat right because your appetite control is out of whack, your cravings are physically addictions and you probably feel overworked, overstressed and just too darn tired to exercise. So how do you overcome all of these obstacles?

There is one answer that will help with all of these issues mentioned; a whole body cleanse. If you find a good body cleansing program, you will learn what foods can help your body's natural cleansing process.

A whole body cleanse also uses herbs that can chelate, or remove, toxins from your body including those from the environment and processed foods. Other supplements are designed to help your body get the waste out faster, which means more balance for you.

When done right, a whole body cleanse can help you eliminate food cravings so you can stay on track for your weight loss goals. When you get the junk out of your body, you have more energy to live. A huge side-effect of cleansing that people report is the ability to deal with stress better.

If you decide to try a program like this, do your homework and use common sense. Most programs will work if you follow them. You cannot cleanse your body if you eat junk food, no matter what anyone tells you. A fast will work but you have to do it right. So, again, no matter which body cleanse you choose, read, research and learn so you can take care of your body and lose weight safely.
