Believe You Can Lose the Weight

Here are some helpful tips;

• Infrared saunas burn calories and remove toxins. Perspiration is one of the most effective ways of ridding the body of chemicals and toxins. When we sweat our bodies go into thermal regulation which raises metabolism, burns fat and calories. Eliminating toxins in the body fixes metabolic imbalances that cause poor digestion and weight gain.
“Saunas are an important aid to weight loss and thyroid repair because as you lose weight, fat tissue releases stored toxins such as PCBs and pesticides.”

-Dr. Mark Hyman, author of NY Times best selling book “Ultrametabolism” and Sunlight Saunas customer.

The sauna experience is interesting; I definitely sweated more than when I run for an hour. It was a little uncomfortable but I recommend bringing lots of ice water, cold cloths & something to read. It will be interesting to see if I notice any differences but right away my complexion looks ten times better.
All in all I feel it is a good add for a weight loss tool.

• Rhubarb is a low glycemic, low calorie vegetable (yes vegetable) that is chock full of vitamins, fiber & minerals. The stalks of rhubarb have been used as a laxative. It also conveys bile salts from the liver and it assists the intestine in regulating the absorption of fat. It also serves as a colon tonic and speeds up metabolism. But the catch is that you can not douse it in sugar to consume it or that will defeat the purpose.
Here are a couple of methods I use to eat it;
I have chopped it and added it to my green smoothie which consists of chopped kale, chopped swiss chard, berries, a small amount of kelp & organic pure apple juice. This shake is really tasty!
You can also fry the rhubarb with some orange juice and add it to some plain yogurt for breakfast.
Caution: Just make sure you do not consume the leaves as these are poisonous.

• My philosophy is simple on weight loss, add more nutrient dense foods to your diet and you will lose weight. One of these super foods I highly recommend is the pear. The pear is a weight loss gem because it is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals & antioxidants. It is a low glycemic, low calorie snack that fills the stomach, lowers cholesterol & cleans the colon and body of dangerous toxins which inhibit weight loss.
So snack away on the delicious pear.

• I don't believe there is an overnight fix for weight loss but I do believe there are a lot of great tools out there that can aid and accelerate weight loss. The acai berry is one of these weight loss tools that I believe to be useful. It has been called one of the most nutrient dense and potent super foods on earth. It is an antioxidant which is high in essential fatty acids, omegas 3, 6 & 9, fiber & vitamins. It is a low glycemic food and has been shown to lower cholesterol, blood pressure & toxins. It is also reported to ward off cravings, suppress appetite and increase energy levels.

Now I know that acai is under attack for false diet claims. Please be careful of any product that claims it will produce quick effortless results. Also beware of products that offer a free trial as they usually will auto bill you which can be a pain in the butt. Use a reliable source to find your product such as a website that you have purchased from before or your local health food store.
I am still going to give the acai berry a fair shot.

I hope these tools are helpful, feel free to reuse this article with this link included: http://roxannelee.wordpress.com
