Best Way to Lose Weight?

Here’s a good longer-term strategy for weight loss:

  • Cleanse: It goes without saying that reducing toxicity in the body is a good first step to reducing weight. Remember that the body stores toxins (also called POPs, persistent organic pollutants) in fat cells. By reducing toxicity you are also reducing fat.
  • Daily bowel movements: It is important to have at least one bowel movement a day to make sure you are adequately eliminating toxins. If you are not, drink more water, eat water-rich fruits and veggies, use Natural Calm, and make sure to get 8 hours of sleep each night.
  • Eat enough: Even though you may think otherwise, if you’re trying to lose weight, it is important to eat at least 1,200 calories and 50-90g of protein daily (more if you are male and/or very active). This will keep your metabolism burning effectively and prevent starvation mode from being triggered. In starvation mode your body holds on to excess weight to protect from famine. Eat enough calories and protein to avoid this.
  • Stick with the Elimination Diet: It’s the foundation of the Cleanse and the basis for staying Clean after the program is complete. Stick to whole, unprocessed, and local foods. Over time this helps the body cleanse, nourishes the cells, and allows the body to drop excess weight. There are many ways to make the Elimination Diet work with your specific needs. If you are having challenges making the Elimination Diet work, contact a Wellness Coach.
  • Don’t snack: This will give your body enough time to digest the food you eat. It is better to eat a larger meal and denser shakes than it is to snack in between them. It may help to add coconut oil or avocado to your shakes and more good fats and protein to your solid meals. You know you have eaten the right amount when you can go from shake to meal without snacking. Remember that the process of learning what works for you takes time and practice.
