Be The Weight You Want | Weight Loss Journey

Let’s face it:  The only way to lose fat is to eat fewer calories than you use during a day.  Call it diet, call it lifestyle, call it anything you want – this fact is still true.  Good news:  there are ways to quick start your weight loss giving you an increased momentum on your weight loss journey.

One way to start your ‘diet’ or prepare for it is to detoxify your body.  This can be done in a number of ways, some more effective than others.  Fasting is the simplest way – but your health conditions can affect the method you choose.  If you have any medical conditions, consult your doctor before fasting.  Here are three types of fasting.

1. Water. Drink only water for a period of time – normally at least a day (64 oz a day).  This is an extreme fast which will flush those toxins out of your body.  It is hard on your body since you have no nutrients during that time.  If you are diabetic, this is not a smart thing to do.  And after this period of basically starvation with a body flush, your body will carve more food than you normally eat to store up in case of another starvation period.  So, while it is affective, it can be self-defeating.
2. Juice. Drink 32-64 oz of juice a day (no added sugar).  This is a little less extreme, but also is recommended to last 3 days.  Before going on this, you might want to try the fruit fasting.
3. Fruit. I have never attempted this fast.  Again, you have to consider any medical conditions before going on this fast.  You start with 24 hours of eating only fruits (and drinking water).  Then go back to normal eating for the rest of the week.  Fast again for 48 hours, then a week of normal eating.  Continue this pattern of adding a day to the fast each time with a week in between each fasting period until your fasting period is 21 days in length.

If any of you are like me, one or two days of water and/or juice and/or fruits is the longest I would make it.  I do see where you get used to a water fast one day a week, or even one day a month.  I have tried to fast on a liquid diet:  the key word being tried.  That being said, I have been looking further into this.

Another way is to purchase one of many good detoxification plans with various products to drink. These can be expensive.  They do take a commitment for several days to complete.

If you are one of my subscribers, you know that I don’t push products and plans at you.  I finally found a system that actually works I have to tell you about.  It is called STRIP THAT FAT. This is a metabolic diet.  Knowing your metabolic type you can identify the types of foods that your body chemistry metabolizes the best will encourage weight loss.  Using the STRIP THAT FAT guidelines for eating and exercise (80% is the eating, only 20% is exercise), you can lose 2 pounds of FAT a week, not just 2 pounds of weight.  (And you have 60 days money back guarantee).

I have to go – time for my exercise!  Leave a comment please.  I love hearing from you.
