Weight Loss

Many know all the right things to do in order to lose weight; the right foods to eat, the right exercise program to follow. They drink enough water, they count calories religiously. They’ve tried a multitude of weight loss programs. They’ve lost some weight but either not enough or it’s come right back. Finally, they give up. What’s the point? It’s way too hard, so they might as well go back to eating whatever they want since it’s not making any difference anyway.

There is a reason for fat build-up and fat retention that most people are unaware of. It’s toxicity. Chemicals that we are exposed to get stored in the body’s fat cells. It’s a way for the body to attempt to protect itself from the attack of harmful toxins that have no natural place in our system.

Recently on The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Mehmet Oz introduced his audience to a relatively new word in the fight against fat: “OBESOGENS”, also know as endocrine disruptors, that are essentially chemicals you’re eating that are making you fat. These chemicals, found for example as pesticides on an apple, are digested and broken down. Dr. Oz explains how these endocrine disruptors “essentially hijack the regulatory system that controls your weight and promotes obesity by increasing fat cells, decreasing metabolism and altering the brain”s ability to manage feelings of hunger.” The obesogens go into and irritate the liver, and then get put into fat cells. These fat cells are forced to multiply and thus result in fat and weight gain. As long as we keep ingesting chemicals, the body will hold on to fat. These chemicals are in the form of herbicides, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, food additives and synthetic drugs. Millions of pounds of antibiotics are injected into farm animals every year and our fruits and vegetables are bombarded with insecticides and pesticides.
Is there a solution? Is there a way to rid the body of these chemicals?

The answer is yes; by incorporating a lifestyle of nutritional cleansing. The best cleanses are systemic, meaning they cleanse the whole body on a cellular level as opposed to targeting specific organs. They also contain high quality, natural cleansing agents in conjunction with nutrient rich ingredients that in turn replenish the body. Once toxins are flushed from the system, the body no longer has a reason to hold on to the fat and so a positive “side benefit” of cleansing is therefore the melting away of body fat.

It is important to know that true nutritional cleansing does not mean fasting or depriving the body of food, and that by incorporating healthy cleansing as a lifestyle, it is possible to lose weight and keep it off, fighting and defeating obesogens every step of the way.

I want to introduce you to a powerful tenet which gives rise to whatever it is you’re trying to achieve with your body is not external, yet contained within your mind. The key to losing weight is determined by how you attach meaning to it – the thoughts and emotions associated with it. Weight loss implies removing something unwanted or undesirable i.e. excess body fat. What if we re-framed it in our minds as an expression which affirms the following instead; allowing our body to return or ‘be’ in its natural state of health and wellbeing. How would that allow us to feel from an emotional level?

You see the term weight loss has a resistance to it, much like ‘rally against war.’ I stand for peace is much more harmonious and in tune with higher states of consciousness. Weight loss implies you haven’t achieved it yet, it is outside of your consciousness and a challenge to achieve. Your natural state of health and wellbeing is a body weight that is normal to you. You don’t need diets, pills, formulas and whatever else the media is selling you to lose weight.

Fact 1: The power of drug companies has grown exponentially. They now fund about two-thirds of clinical studies and medical journals have increasingly become marketing devices for new products and diagnoses.

Fact 2: Studies by industry are subtly funded to give positive results. The same research will be published again and again in different journals, with minor variations, to give the impression of a unanimous acceptance and weight of evidence.

So what can you do to change the relationship and conversation you have with yourself around body weight issues?

1. Throw away all your dieting books NOW.
2. There is no problem, just an imbalance in one’s thoughts and emotions.
3. Go within to discover the cause of your current weight issues. Is there an outdated belief, thought or emotion which is holding you back? If so, when did it start? Go within and take a introspective journey to discover the cause. We often attach meaning to things which no longer serve us.
4. Be grateful that you live in a Western world and have access to food. Approximately 3 billion people live below $ 2.50 a day, which is considered the poverty line.
5. Re-frame how you approach weight loss in your mind and your body will follow.
6. Appreciate your body right now, regardless of shape, size, colour, height, weight. If you dislike or hate your body, you’re sending subconscious messages to every cell in your body to work against you, not in harmony with you. Why would your body want you to lose weight when you’re telling it I hate you, I don’t like what I see in the mirror?
7. Develop a relationship with your body as mentioned in previous article.

A well known author versed in the area of mind body medicine states the following about weight loss: “Health is not an event. It is a process. It is not a rock, but rather a river. Lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise can address systematic problems, but involve a change in life-process day after day. Weight loss isn’t going on a diet (an event), or being twenty pounds lighter (an event). Weight loss is what I eat and how I exercise today and always (a process).

The more you come from a place of non-resistance, the more your body recognises your willingness to grow and expand toward health and wellbeing. Remember this for it will serve you well – your health and wellbeing is a journey, never a destination. It is more about WHO you become, more than WHAT you become. It is for this reason I affirm health, wellbeing and healing is more about awakening your authentic self, using personal development, self awareness and spirituality. With these tools in hand, you become someone worthy of living a rich, health and prosperous life; without having to fall back to their former self.

Weight Loss

The mechanics of weight loss is simple; energy lost must be greater than energy gained. You gain energy from the various foods and other nutritional supplements you consume; you lose energy through regular everyday activities, even breathing. The problem is a body at rest or doing regular activities does not utilize most of the energy that is consumed from the average American diet. The result is weight gain. All that extra energy is converted to fat and stored for later use, the problem is, that fat will sit there and keep building up and it has nowhere to go. The solution, we need to get our bodies in a state of negative energy balance, increase our metabolism or decrease our food intake so that we lose more energy that we gain.

Basically, we want to increase how much work our body does, so exercise is key. Running, swimming, jogging or going to Gym for strength exercises are all ways in which you can increase your metabolism and reduce your weight. On another hand you can reduce the amount of food you consume; if you eat less this will also lead to a negative energy balance. Choosing healthier foods will make this route easier, switching from fatty to more protein based foods will enable your body to maintain a good energy balance and prevent any excess energy from being converted it unhealthy fat. Bear in mind that healthy weight loss will not come from one or the other alone, but a balance between the two. Only eating less and no exercise is very harmful and does not do much for healthy weight loss. After a point, your body will go into starvation mode and start feeding off muscle instead of fat resulting in undesirable weight loss. Exercise that results in weight loss without changing dietary habits will put too much strain on your body and the benefits will not be worth the pain and medical bills.

Balance is key, find the magic number that gives you the right amount of food and exercise. This will result in healthy weight loss that will be beneficial to you in the long run. Set realistic goals and spread them out across a moderate time frame in order to give your body a healthy head start. I would not recommend crash dieting or intermittent fasting as they tend to cause irreversible damage to your body. Yes they result in rapid weight loss but some of the side effects include ulcers, muscle loss and increased hunger that may cause you to eat more after you have completed them.
If you have problems sticking to a diet or exercise regime, consult a dietician or a trainer to help you reach your weight loss goal the healthy way. Many gyms have trainers that will help you design an exercise schedule that is right for you, they will also tell you what to eat and what to stay away from. Remember to always consult your doctor before you drastically change your diet or exercise habits.
