Weight Loss Tips
Weight gain, weight loss or any other health ailment occurs when something we are doing is out of balance. Choosing to make the right choice is a state of mind. This is hard to do when we are under stress so the first thing we recommend is to get connected with YOU. That means scheduling some quiet time for inner reflection. Journaling is a great way to record your findings and set your goals. Once you are ready to commit, start adopting some of the following basic weight loss tips. Adopt one of these one at a time, for a couple of weeks until you are finding you are actually enjoy it. It take time for the brain, the cells, the body to adjust. Then take on another, and then another. This is an intelligent approach to making a true and lasting lifestyle change.
Healthy Nutrition Planning Tips:
Think Alkaline! Eat a balanced alkaline/acid diet. 75~80% alkaline, 20~25% acidic (see food list) and always practice proper food combining. For instance, do not consume carbs with proteins. Choose one or the other and pile up on as much healthy greens as you like.
Adopt a 7~day Detox Regime at the first of each season.
Supplement your Diet ~ Enlist a reputable naturopathic doctor. They will test your body for deficiencies and prescribe what's best for you. Your daily dose will change throughout the seasons and will also change as you progressively get your body into shape and to a healthier alkaline state. Ask about taking regular mineral and enzyme supplements as well. Add hemp seeds to your salads everyday, one of the best mineral supplements you can take.
Cut out the '5 toxic whites'al; font-size: 10 white sugar, white flour, white rice, white table salt, and dairy (goat milk products are fine in limited quantity)
Eliminate red meat and soda pop altogether
Purchase organic foods whenever and wherever possible. Plus you are making a contribution and supporting the good of the global conscious community each doing their part to preserve and protect the planet. Once you start on the all organic path, you won't look back.
Cut your coffee intake to one a day or replace your morning coffee with green tea. Green tea will give you the caffeine boost you like to enjoy in the morning plus you will be amazed at how different your skin will appear even after just a few days.
Oprah's Tip ~ And we agree! Add blueberries to your grocery list ever week. Add them to your meals wherever you can. Leave a bowl of them on your desk and munch on them throughout the day. Best anti-oxidant!
Take a weekly detox bath with seaweed, Himalayan salt crystals or moor mud from Austria. This simple task will also supply your body with some of the necessary minerals it needs and keep your metabolism on track and working for you.
Lastly, be kind ~ to yourself and to others. Don't stress yourself or others unnecessarily. Your body stops functioning properly when stressed out. Breathe deep, think about your choices, and more than anything, believe each problem has a solution. Seek, believe and ye shall find!
