Dropping The Pounds Can Be Easy

Perhaps this is a bold statement but I suspect losing pounds can be simple. In my humble opinion, the most important issue with people trying to lose weight is they are eating the wrong food. Perhaps that sounds clear, and if it does, wouldn't the obvious solution be to start to eat the right foods?

I'm guessing that most people do not know what the proper foods are due to all the mixed signals and misguidance.

Another barrier, besides lack of knowing is the issue with food dependencies and obsessions.

If I were to outline a diet schedule and advised that it had everything you need to be healthy and further said that you would only have to do it for 3-4 weeks to get results, most of us would balk at the idea and probably not do it.

What's interesting to me though is that those same folks would go on a prohibited diet just long enough to qualify for the weight loss surgery. You know, the one where they cut part of your stomach out so you can't eat as much food? Outrageous!

Seriously though, I feel that people are spreading mistruths when they suggest you require meat to survive. I feel staunchly that folks can, and should, have a diet made up mostly of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain fat, protein, calcium and all the other nutrients that people appear to believe aren't present in them.

OK, assume for a second you believe me and the countless other folks that suggest fruits and veggies contain everything the body requires to survive and prosper and you are basically prepared to give it a go. Now what? What about the convenienceelement of fast food? And, who truly wants to eat numerous salads and stir fries? Well, I've got a simple solution for you.

I will describe a diet that I suggest anybody should at least try, after confirming with a naturopath doctor, for 2-4 weeks. Before starting, get some blood work done. Check your vitamin levels ( B12, D, etc ). Check your minerals ( calcium, etc ). Check your cholesterol and anything else that is on the blood work form that contributes to health. Then you'll have hard numbers to compare against, besides your weight, after the diet is complete.

Ready? Get a blender. Get some of your favourite fruits, ideally organic. Get plenty of them including bananas, berries, mangoes, papaya, for example. Now get some greens, again, ideally organic. Get some kale, baby spinach, dandelion, parsley, dill, anything green and leafy. Get some avocados. Get some one hundred pc juice in a carton for convenience sake. Now, whenever you feel hungry, mix 70-80% fruit in a blender with the rest greens. Just use one sort of green at a time and keep rotating them. Oh, and add some juice or water in there so it blends less complicated. Blend till smooth and drink. Tastes wonderful and is void of all the crap you routinely 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 2 for healthy fats.

The greens mixed with the fruit generally make the whole drink low glycemic, especially if you use berries. Also, you'll be very well hydrated without the need for plain water. Do not believe me? Test your pee. Plus you'll have the best of what the earth has to supply being simply digested into your body.

You will detoxify as your body rids itself of the junk from your past and you start to cure. You can see a large amount of strangeness in your stool and it might be green in colour. Don't be alarmed. You are healing and shedding pounds. And it will be green of course from the greens you are consuming. You may lose more than you want to initially but your body will bounce back to your perfect weight as you go on.
