Many of us realize that dieting to lose weight is not fun. Most weight loss programs require that you love your veggies and exercise even more. Unfortunately, not all of us are so inclined.
Because weight loss is so hard for so many, diet miracles are all around us. One miracle is a prescription pill that allows you to eat anything you want because it stops your body from absorbing fat. The bad news is that it stops your body from absorbing all fats, good and bad.
Unfortunately, you need good fats, called EFA’s for good health. They keep your skin moist, you bones and joints supple and “oiled,” supply your brain with essential nutrients and help balance your hormones. A deficiency of these good fats may lead to depression, loose, sagging skin and possible internal inflammation. Probably not a good idea.
The next miracle weight loss solution is to take a pill for your hormones. Maybe you have heard of this solution… take this pill to regulate your thyroid. So you do, and you’re still fat, so what happened? The typical answer is that if you did not take this miracle pill, you would probably be fatter. Right.
Now the craze is to eat anything you want and you can lose weight. There are two versions of this, and it is true. You can eat anything you want, one day a week. The other six days is still a strict diet.
The problem with this model is that once many dieters “fall off the band wagon,” they cannot get back on. In some people this only triggers food cravings and makes the dieter fail. Perhaps this is not the best way for some to lose weight.
Another way to eat anything you want while losing weight calls for purchasing mail-order food that is a lower fat, lower calorie version of your favorite foods. These tend to be very expensive. In addition, these foods generally contain many chemicals used from food processing to flavor enhancing and may even contain fake oils that can cause digestive problems.
So, is there a way to really lose weight while eating what you want? Since many of us would choose eating the foods that made us fat to begin with, this may not be a viable option. I mean, if I could control my portions, wouldn’t I have done it already?
However, many people are finding that body cleansing helps them lose weight. You don’t get to eat anything you want, however after your cleanse changes take place that allow you to either continue losing. In addition they find that once they learn how to help their bodies clear waste, the foods they like don’t cause instant weight gain like they once may have.
A wanted side effect of body cleansing is the lessening of food cravings. This may be due to the fact that a cleanse helps your body detoxify and eliminate environmental toxins that interfere with hormonal balances, which in turn can cause cravings. Also, the healthy diet and supplements supply more nutrition, which is important since many craving stem from nutritional deficiencies.
Body cleansing may be the new and only way to reach the dream of eating anything you want, although moderation is still necessary. As said, maybe you cannot do this to lose weight but you certainly have more flexibility after you have lost it.
