How To Do A Weight Loss Cleanse

A weight loss cleanse is more effective than a strict diet that can utilize much of your time and energy. At the same time, cleansing helps clear built up toxins from your body which may be stored in and around fat cells and it can help reset your metabolism. While cleansing, you can learn what foods make you feel sick and tired and what foods give you more energy.

Your weight loss cleanse can be made easier when you keep things simple. Forget the measuring or counting calories. By following these steps, you no longer have to read and analyze fat grams, calories or sodium. You will also learn how healthy eating and nutrition can give you the energy and metabolism that keeps weight off for good.

Step 1 – Quit all junk food. We all know what they are; chips, sodas, fat food (I mean fast food), candies and so on. Junk foods not only add weight, but eating them can literally stop your body from losing weight! They may also contain chemicals such as preservatives or dyes that can be stored in fatty areas of the body causing you to hold on to weight and they can even interfere with thyroid function.

Step 2 – Avoid any processed foods. These include packaged or pre-made foods that are supposed to save time in the kitchen. Give yourself a reality check and see if this is true. One example is, you can spend 1/2 hour chopping up a head of lettuce and some veggies and keep them in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, you simply reach in and grab a handful. This is quicker than opening and heating up a can of pre-made soup. If you really do want a food like this, find the equivalent of it at your local health food store. Look at the ingredients and be sure there are not too many listed – the more ingredients a food has, the more processed and unhealthy it is. Your weight loss cleanse will be more effective without them.

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 – During your weight loss cleanse, supplement your nutrition by adding whole food supplements to your daily regimen. This should include a whole food vitamin so you are sure to get all your vitamins and minerals. Using a product that is made from “whole foods” as opposed to the synthetic version will ensure your body uses most of the nutrients without causing toxic side-effects. Also take EFA’s or Essential Fatty Acids. This supplement supplies oils that your body needs to keep joints mobile, skin and hair healthy, balance your hormones, are necessary for proper brain function for healthy moods – and they help you lose weight!

Step 6 – Daily exercise using circuit training can help burn more fat, more calories and make your exercise more effective. Exercising is known to stimulate metabolism, stimulate circulation, clear toxins, elevate mood and help you eliminate excess waste and shed weight.

You can circuit train at home by alternating resistance exercise with aerobics. You don’t need weights or special equipment, either. Just put on some music and choose exercises for resistance such as squats, lunges and push ups. Choose up to six different exercises with a goal to do three sets of each. Perform a set of resistance exercise, then do one minute of aerobic exercise such as jumping rope, running in place or rebounding. Then do another set of resistance followed by another minute of aerobics. Continue this until you have completed 30-40 minutes of exercise.

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.
