Losing Pounds Can Be A Simple Endeavor
Perhaps this is a authoritarian statement but I suspect shedding pounds can be straightforward. In my opinion, the most important issue with folks trying to lose weight is they are eating the wrong foods. Perhaps that sounds obvious, and if you agree, wouldn’t the obvious solution be to start eating the right foods?
I’m guessing that people simply do not know what the proper foods are because of all the mixed messages and misinformation.
Another barrier, besides a lack of knowing is the issue with food dependencies and obsessions.
If I were to outline a diet regimen and advised that it had everything your body needs to be healthy and said that you would only must do it for 3-4 weeks to see results, most of us would balk at the idea and probably not do it.
What’s interesting to me though is that those same individuals would go on a prohibited diet just long enough to qualify for the weight loss surgery. You know, the surgery where they slice part of your stomach out so you can’t eat as much afterwards? Outrageous!
Seriously though, I feel that people are spreading lies when they suggest you need to eat animal flesh in your diet. I feel resolutely that folk can, and should, have a diet composed often of vegetables and fruit. Fruits and vegetables contain fat, protein, calcium and all of the other nutrients that folk seem to think are not present in them.
OK, assume for a second you believe me and the numerous people that suggest fruits and veggies contain everything you require to survive and prosper and you are basically prepared to give it a go. Now what? What about the convenience of fast food? And, who actually wants to eat a bunch of salads and stir fries? Well, I’ve got a easy solution for you.
Iam going to describe a diet that I advise any one should at least try, after confirming with a naturopath doctor, for 2-4 weeks. Before starting, get some blood work done. Test your vitamin levels ( B12, D, etc ). Test your minerals ( calcium, etc ). Test your cholesterol and anything else that’s on the blood work form that makes a contribution to health. Then you’ll have hard numbers to compare against, besides your weight, after the diet is over.
Ready? Grab a blender. Get some of your favourite fruits, ideally organic. Get lots of them including bananas, berries, mangoes, papaya, for example. Now get some greens, again, preferably organic. Get some kale, baby spinach, dandelion, parsley, dill, anything green and leafy. Get some avocados. Get some one hundred percent juice in a carton for simplicity sake. Now, anytime you feel hungry, mix 70-80% fruit in a blender with the rest greens. Just use one type of green at a time and keep rotating them. Oh, and add some juice or water in there so it mixes less complicated. Blend until smooth and drink. Tastes fantastic and is void of all the crap you usually eat and is also full of digestive enzymes as it has not been heated. Avoid the supplements too, this has everything. Eat an avocado every day or two for healthy fats.
The greens mixed with the fruit generally make the entire drink low glycemic, especially if you use berries. Also, you will be very well hydrated without the need for plain water. Do not believe me? Take a look at your pee. Plus you will have the best of what the earth has to offer being easily digested into your body.
You will detox as your body rids itself of the yuckiness from the past and you begin to heal. You’ll see plenty of strangeness in your stool and it might be green in colour. Don’t be alarmed. You are healing and losing pounds. And it will be green of course from the greens you are eating. You could lose more than you would like to initially but your body will bounce back to your ideal weight as you move forward. Best of luck to you.
