Secret Reason We Are Fat

It is reported that 85% of Americans have parasites living inside of them, but some experts believe it is probably much closer to 95%. A parasite is a living organism that is feeding off the food, vitamins and minerals inside your body, causing you a whole host of problems including sugar cravings, fatigue, weight gain, gas, bloating, and so much more.

Parasites enter our body through contaminated food, especially meat, and hide themselves so well that you probably have no idea that you are infected right now. Parasites deprive your body of nutrients, cause food cravings and therefore keep you fat and unhappy

According to Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst: “The parasites live a parallel life inside our bodies, feeding off our own energy, our own cells or the food we eat, and even feeding off the health supplements we use.”

If you are sick and overweight you probably have parasites living inside you. But don’t worry. In chapter 3 of my e-book, Natural Sexy Skinny I will teach you how to get rid of those little devils once and for all!

Why You Need to Cleanse Your Colon to Lose Weight

If you have not been living a natural organic lifestyle up to this point in your life than you absolutely have a buildup of toxins and waste inside your body that needs to be flushed out immediately.

Not only is this buildup causing you to be heavier, but in the long run this buildup will start to poison your body, causing you discomfort and disease.

You may have up to 20 pounds of undigested fecal matter inside you. Imagine getting rid of this. You could be 20 pounds lighter in two weeks!

Green Tea For Weight Loss

Yes, Green Tea helps speed the weight loss process. Green tea is good for glucose: it slows your rise in blood sugar after you eat. It also contains caffeine which increases metabolism and helps you burn more calories. (Also note that a little caffeine is good, but not a lot. No sodas!) Green tea also has cancer fighting antioxidants so it really is a great thing to add to your diet.

Don’t be fooled. There are many products out there that advertise weight loss using green tea. Don’t get the pills or the patch. Those companies just want your money. To get the real weight-loss benefits of green tea, you should get it from your local health foods store and brew it your self.

The way I make it is I heat up the water (filtered water not tap) on the stove (don’t use the microwave) then I pour the hot water into a cup then put the teabag in. Dont heat the water with the teabag in it because that makes it “boil out” some of the natural healing properties of the tea. Then I add soy milk and a drop of organic honey for a hot and healthy treat. I try to make two cups a day. Try it!

Coconut Oil

Oil For Weight Loss?

This has gotten a bad rap in recent years; however, I encourage you to research the amazing health benefits of virgin coconut oil on your own. A great book I recommend is The Coconut Oil Miracle by Bruce Fife. It’s got an entire chapter on Recipes for Nutrition and Beauty. Virgin coconut oil can be added to your everyday meals. It improves digestion, promotes weight loss and helps keep skin and hair looking young and healthy.

An apple a day…

Bored? Hungry? Tired? Eat an apple!

Yes an apple a day truly does keep the doctor away. Apples promote weight loss, strengthen your immune system, aid in preventing cancer, lower cholesterol, prevent tooth decay, improve liver and lung function and are low in calories and taste great. So eat an apple everyday.

Add more fruits and vegetables to your diet. You can eat fruits and vegetables all day long and not get fat. And I’ve never heard of anyone ever dying from overdosing on fruits so please eat them freely and frequently.

Yoga For Weight Loss

The reason that yoga helps you to lose weight is because it is dedicated to helping your body eliminate toxins.

Even though you might not feel you’re working hard enough, beauty truly does begin from within; and what yoga does to your body on the inside helps you look and feel better on the outside.

Not only do you eliminate toxins through the various poses, but since yoga lowers levels of stress hormones and increases insulin sensitivity, your body can then go into fat-burning mode and burn food as fuel rather than store it as fat.

Your mind is the powerful determinant that controls whether or not you give into that cheeseburger and milkshake craving. The more you practice yoga, the more you learn to sit still, meditate and breathe and the more you will train your body and your mind. Imagine being able to quiet that little devil up there telling you to be bad and eat the processed-full-of-dairy-and-sugar-chocolate-chip-cookie-pie. Imagine that you don’t even hear him anymore.

Do you eat when you’re nervous, anxious or upset? Are you an emotional eater? This does not have to be your fate. This is not who you are. Imagine eliminating all of your food cravings. Imagining being able to have one bite of ice cream without eating the whole carton. Imagine yourself as skinny, youthful and beautiful as ever without a care in the world. All of this is possible by training the mind with yoga!

Caffeine does not help you lose weight!

I don’t care if it gives you energy or if you think coffee suppresses your appetite. I don’t care if it’s a skinny, non-fat and sugar-free. It’s still making you fat. Your body does not know how to digest the acid in coffee so guess where it is stored? Your midsection. That’s right your body stores it as belly fat. So if you drink coffee and you have a belly I bet that’s why! The other reasons coffee is bad for you? Coffee increases your sugar cravings so you tend to eat more sweets. Caffeine increases stress, which increases cortisol which increases belly fat. Coffee makes you fat! Period. Give it up.

Luckily they make lots of healthy alternatives to coffee that taste great. Check your local organic grocery store and start giving up the habit ASAP.

The Best Fruits and Vegetables For Weight Loss

Vegetables are also low in sodium so they help reduce water weight. Sodium is present in most processed foods causing the body to retain water and hold onto extra weight. Eating more vegetables and less sodium helps control your weight effectively.

The best fruits and vegetables (for weight loss) to integrate into your diet are:

Grapefruit: Help to detoxify your liver and enzymes in grapefruit help you burn more fat.

Apples: Work as an appetite suppressant and help maintain consistent blood sugar levels.

Carrots: Contain large amounts of beta-carotene, soluble fiber and vitamin A. Try making carrot ginger soup. It is delicious, filling and great for your body.

Lemon: Detoxifies the liver and aids in digestion, help flush out toxins.

Fruits and Vegetables

You should eat more fruits and vegetables than anything else. However make sure the fruits and vegetables you are eating are 100% organic. Fruits and Vegetables grown conventionally are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. When you eat the fruits and vegetables these toxins and preservatives are then going directly into your body. And what do we know about toxins? They keep us fat. By eliminating toxins, we lose weight and get healthier.

Vegetables are low in fat, low in calories, provide us with fiber and give us extra energy. All these features help control weight effectively. Being low in calories enables us to eat lots of vegetables without consuming excess energy; the high fiber content also helps fill the stomach faster limiting the total amount of food consumed. The presence of many vitamins and other chemicals in vegetables supply the body with nutrients necessary to boost energy production within the muscle cells. This gives us a natural feeling of vitality and the energy to become more active helping to burn more calories every day.
