As people become informed, more people are looking for the best cleansing diet when striving to lose weight. Today, more so than ever, we are being barraged by toxins in our environment. We can’t possibly avoid them, regardless of how careful we are. In many cases, you may not even be aware that the threat of toxic exposure exists.
Calories today just aren’t what they used to be… Humans generally eat “food” from 3 categories: plants (fruits and vegetables), animal (beef, chicken, eggs, etc.) and synthetic man made (aspartame, saccharin, olestra, butylated hydroxyanisole, and all those other ingredients on the list that you can’t pronounce!) Today I’d like to talk about the calories we get from vegetables and how they are no longer what they used to be. In my last article I mentioned that calories serve 2 purposes: 1) they provide energy and 2) they provide the vehicle to deliver nutrition.
I am frequently asked “how many calories per day should I consume to lose weight?” This is a loaded question for so many different reasons. The first problem is that so many people think that it is primarily the balance of calories in versus calories out that determine weight loss or gain. So if this were the case, then the number of calories consumed per day to lose weight will vary depending on the person. Answers to these questions must be answered first: • What “size” are you now? How much do you weigh? How tall are you?r
Summary: When it comes to fruit and vegetables the problem is what is now missing from them. When it comes to meat and animal based food (eggs, milk, cheese, etc.) the problem now is what is being added. Food production is now big business. Instead of our beef coming from a farm it comes from a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO). Just like with the fruit and vegetables, animal products are no longer produced for nutrition, they are produced for profit.
If you want to know how to cleanse your body then you need to understand how cellular cleansing works. The reality is that since the day the industrial revolution first began humans have being racing toward polluting the planet as fast as we possibly can. As a result, there are toxins in the air, in our water, in our food, in our clothes, in our furniture, and is the spreads and sprays we apply to our bodies to look and smell better!
Many of my clients first contact me with the questio "how to lose weight without exercise". They are lacking in energy and want to lose weight. They believe that if they want to succeed at weight loss, then they need to exercise. I certainly understand why they make think this. So many people are still under the misconception that the balance of calories in and calories out is what determines weight gain or loss. The logic follows that if you don't want to consume fewer calories then you should exercise to burn more calories.
The Number 1 problem people have with their online sales strategy is THEY DON’T HAVE ONE! But for those that think they do have a strategy, quite often they get too distracted by shiny objects and short lived tactics and tend to over-complicate everything. The surest way to have online marketing success is to mirror what marketing works in the physical world. Let me explain…
In a perfect world, your weight and your body’s fat percentage could be controlled simply and easily by monitoring the calories you consume and the calories you burn. Consume more than you burn and you gain weight and increase your fat. Burn more than you consume, and the fat disappears and the weight comes off. But your body is a machine, just like a car is a machine. In a perfect world, you could put gas in your car and it would perform perfectly. Since most of us understand cars better than we do our own bodies, let’s consider the following parameters:
I got started in the world of online marketing first as a funnel builder. I was in Russell Brunson’s “Ignite” coaching program and he was coaching me towards building my “off grid living” funnel. His advice was to find a funnel that was currently working and then hack it. At the time, Survival Life was absolutely killing it in the off grid, prepper, survival market. So that’s what I did.
In my last article I wrote about all the toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis in our air, in and on our food, the water we drink, the things we touch…. It's one thing to point out a problem, but I think it's more important to be able to provide a solution. So let me explain how one of the solutions to our exposure to toxins is cellular cleansing. "What is Cellular Cleansing?" Well, it's basically a 2 day fast with some nutritional support for some of your key body systems.
When I talk about the problems with today’s modern diets, the statement could be interpreted in any of 3 different ways. 1) I could be speaking about the type of diet that restricts in some way things that you eat with the goal of losing weight. UCLA did a meta-study though that proved the diets of this nature don’t work and I wrote a book explaining the problems with 25 of today’s top diets.
Do you have your 2014 New Year’s Resolution figured out yet? Are you going start ANOTHER diet with the hope to lose weight, lose fat, and get in shape? How many years now have you had this as your New Year’s Resolution? How have those resolutions ended? Did you lose any weight, burn any fat, get in better shape? Many of you may have had some early success and lost a pound or 3 in January. But by the end of February, those pounds were back, and by the end of the year, they had invited some friends to stay over! “But this year is going to be different!”
You know the old saying “you are what you eat”. That’s amazing because it’s true. We have a small hobby farm here with dogs, cats, alpacas and horses and I have to admit I am in awe of how nutrition in living things works. I could give you a 50 pound bag of the finest dog kibble and an unlimited supply of water and tell you that you have all the ingredients necessary to build a living, breathing dog. How long do you think it would take you?
"Is it possible to lose weight without dieting?" I think at some point we have all asked this question and searched and hoped for the magical answer. First, let me say that the answer isn't magical. And second, allow me to share my definitions of "diet" and "dieting". I think when we ask "is it possible to lose weight without dieting?", what we are really asking is "how can I lose weight without following a specific program and restricting what I eat?"
One Harvard study has shown that 9 out of 10 Americans are fat and over a third of them are considered obese. Why is that? Do these people like being overweight and unhealthy? One of the main problems is that for decades we’ve all been lied to. We’ve been told that we are fat because we eat too much and don’t exercise enough. But if this were true then wouldn’t diets work?
