Cleansing

What Exactly is a Cleanse? Cleansing is a process of removing toxins from the body. The primary target is the colon, which can become backed up if not impacted by accumulated waste materials.

People don't always have time to look for healthy recipes, and cook healthy food. Given the foods we eat, those that are bad, as well as the good ones, the colon creates mucus and sludge. This mucus and sludge is supposed to help protect the colon lining, but it can actually cause the colon to become clogged. The result of this is that the waste is unable to move through your bowels effectively and efficiently. As these toxins are absorbed, your body becomes weakened and tired, which also makes it less resistant to illness. Cleansing helps to lose weight, increase your energy, remove the toxins and boost the digestive immune system.

In a , people who used Acai Berry and a Colon Cleanse together, lost 23% more weight than people who used Acai Berry on its own. So the smart thing to do is to take these two products together and you will most likely experience the best results.

Examining Diet Tips

1) You will gain weight. It's inevitable.
As you age, the resting metabolic rate decreases. Without a counteraction of decreasing food intake or increasing physical activity, your weight will rise.

2) A diet should really solve the problem of weight gain, which is harder to handle than weight loss.
Age, food, calories, calorie composition, micro-nutrients, activity level--all targets of a good diet.

A diet is NOT a process of dropping pounds as fast as possible.

3) Losing weight should NOT set you up for weight gain later.
Lose weight fast, starve yourself, neglect entire food groups--yep, you'll gain weight soon.

Why?

Simple. Put your body through stress (like extreme diets) and it response is to conserve energy.

You might lose weight fast but the conservation of energy by your body eventually catches up and wins.

4) We have eating personalities (eating personality disorders is better).
Minor variations of general personalities--Dominant, Analyzer, Relater, Promoter--cause you to develop bad habits and gain weight.

But these same eating traits have good habits to teach...you just have to be willing to learn.

5) Dieting is about losing fat but keeping muscle. Maintaining weight is about increasing muscle mass.

Never start a diet that will cause you to lose muscle. If you're not sure ask.

6) A diet that causes you to lose fat and muscle is not following #5.
Bad diet.

7) The right levels of micro-nutrients and muscle stop weight gain.
Good diet

8) Losing fat and keeping muscle requires a different diet then gaining muscle.
Several recent studies support two diet plans, one to lose weight and one to prevent gaining it back.

9) What the calorie is (composition) is key not amount of calories.
Counting calories is not as important as we once thought. However, the number of calories consumed per day REMAINS A FACTOR IN CAUSING YOU TO GAIN WEIGHT OVER THE YEARS!

YES, I'M SHOUTING TO GET MY POINT ACROSS.

10) Water is thermogenic.
This is a good thing...drink water.

11) No supplements are needed for average Americans, with one possible exception: Calcium.
Calcium is good. Coral calcium has not been formally tested to treat the diseases the marketers promote. Just keep that in mind.

12) Ideal weight is really best thought of as ideal weight range.
This has a great impact on setting realistic goals.

13) Support groups help.
Our own research shows that participating in online groups with a few individual sessions mixed in is best.

14) Bad habits keep you fat
Good habits can keep you thin.

15) Two different diet approaches work better then one. A diet that Pre-Stops weight gain makes it easier.
You need two plans (see diet tips #8)

16) Energy density of food affects how much you eat. Fat content doesn't.
High energy foods make you eat MORE. Energy density of food is from fat, water, and fiber.

What does this mean? Not sure. But with the right food combinations you can LOSE FAT without LOSING MUSCLE.

17) Any diet that fixes your weight but causes harm in some other way is stupid.
Stupid diet tips.

18) Any diet that is not nutritionally balanced will not improve your health.
A diet MUST be nutritious...enough said.

19) Only the most disciplined dieter can stay on ONE diet for the long haul. Unless the diet is so pleasing it's easy to do.

But those are usually bad for you.
Anything of worth requires work.

20) The wonderful people of China and Body Builders aren't fat.
We are. Interesting...

Negative Calories

So what's negative calorie foods? How can a food be a negative calorie? Yes, I know you're looking at me a little odd at the moment, but let me explain why some foods are negative calories. All food has calories, that goes without say, so saying these foods are negative calorie sounds impossible, right? Well, these are foods that take up more caloric energy to digest then the calories that are in them. Your body has to expend energy in order to digest and absorb foods, in fact, 10% of your daily caloric intake is used to process foods in your body. So these "negative" calorie foods are foods that take more calories to digest then actual calories in the item of food. Here is a brief list of negative calorie foods. You can basically eat these items in any quantity you want during the day...remember though, this is for the raw version of the food, adding butter, etc, to any of these things will eliminate the negative calorie effect.

Negative Vegetables
asparagus, beets
broccoli
cabbage (green)
carrot
