Who's Telling The Truth?
I see and hear commercials about losing weight and eating healthy every day, but unfortunately many of them are not entirely true.
I learned that many companies manipulate the truth in order to sell their products. For example, some foods boast things like 0% trans fat per serving when they actually contain a small amount of trans fat. They just round the percentage to the nearest whole number, like .49% could be rounded down to 0%. And what about foods that contain large amounts of sugar, but label their products as Fat-Free to make the product appear healthy. While the Fat-Free claim might be true, it's terribly misleading because any product that contains a large amount of sugar is not healthy for anyone. Then there are the numerous drug companies offering instant weight loss solutions which get prescribed or recommended by doctors. What if your doctor is receiving income from the sale of those weight loss products, is it possible they might not tell you the whole truth about natural weight loss?
The Problem
The problem is that when companies use marketing techniques to mask the unhealthy aspects of their products, they are cheating consumers out of their true health potential. With all the confusing and misleading information they are providing to consumers, it has become super difficult to figure out what really is healthy and what's not.
If you struggle with weight loss, you probably know what I'm talking about. You get on the scales each week and your weight keeps going up and up. Even though you're eating less or no matter how much you exercise, you keep putting on the pounds. All the 'healthy' things you do like eating only 'Fat-Free' foods, taking diet supplements, or going to the gym every day, just aren't working.
In my case, I even cut back to eating one 'healthy' meal a day, no junk food, no candy, and no fat intake. And while I thought I was eating the right kinds of foods, I was still gaining weight. Plus, no matter what I ate, healthy or not so healthy, I was always hungry and starving. So, I finally decided I had to figure out what was really going on with me and started my search for a healthy solution that would allow me to eat well, lose weight, and feel great.
Now, please keep in mind that I'm not a doctor so I cannot give medical advice, but I can share my experience with you and here's what I learned.
I discovered three secrets about weight loss that completely changed my life. Not only did I learn how to get immediate results to start feeling better and having more energy, I lost a lot of weight very fast. But, I must warn you in case you decide to use any of these ideas, that while I was getting the results I wanted, I also experienced side effects from the process of natural weight loss. What? Side-effects from natural weight loss? Yep, there are actually side-effects that can be experienced during the process of natural weight loss, and here's why...
Secret #1 - Fat Is My Friend
The first weight loss secret I learned was that if the body takes in too much food or something it doesn't know how to process like chemicals or drugs, it stores the item for processing later. Similar to storing and freezing leftovers after a big meal, the unprocessed item gets surrounded by fat and sent to be stored somewhere in the body. The fat actually protects the body from attempting to process items it can't handle while preserving the contents of the 'package' at the same time. Then later when the body is ready to process the package, it burns the fat off and releases the contents of the package into the body for processing.
When I started burning fat to lose weight, there were a few days that I became sick and experienced severe headaches. This side-effect occurred when the contents of the fat being burned off were toxic or overwhelming to my system and made me feel sick until they were eliminated from my body.
Secret #2 - Detox Programs and Supplements
Another secret about weight loss that I learned is about detox programs. Many nutritionists recommend detox programs in addition to losing weight in order to cleanse the mess you've made of your organs and systems. I learned that while I've been eating poorly all throughout my life, my organs and systems had become over stressed, tired, sluggish, clogged up, and started to shut down. And just like the process of burning off fat, when I detoxed my body, I experienced sickness and severe headaches until the toxins were completely flushed out of my system.
In addition, I learned it's important to support the body while it repairs itself with the use of supplements. The right supplements will support the organs while they are in a state of disrepair and under extreme stress. I tried several different detox and supplement programs with the assistance of my doctors and nutritionist until I found the right one for me.
Secret #3 - Changing My Metabolism
Finally, the third secret to losing weight was changing my metabolism by changing my food plan... and notice that I didn't say 'diet'. By changing my food plan, I could manage my metabolism, which in turn affected my weight gain or weight loss. You see, managing my metabolism was like adjusting the thermostat of my health. When I turned up the heat by eating the right foods, my body ran more efficiently and burned more fat. But, when I fed my furnace the wrong foods, it was like turning the heat down and my body would go into protective mode by storing more and more fat to keep me safe.
Changing my food plan was key to my weight loss, but when I discontinued eating non-healthy food entirely, I experienced a brief period of sickness and severe headaches. My body had to adjust itself chemically from the elimination sugar, caffeine, and other food additives found in the processed foods I had been previously eating.
Amazingly, I also discovered that when I eat the right foods, I can eat more of them more often and still lose weight. I learned that when I eat poorly, I'm starving myself no matter how much I eat, because my body will reject improper foods and store them in fat while my body still wants the nutrition that it really needs. As a result, I became extremely cautious of foods that boast healthy fat-free labels, because most of them do not contain any nutritional ingredients that my body can actually use.
The Results
While I was in the process of losing weight and my body was operating in a damaged state, there was a very limited selection of fresh foods that I could eat, including some fish (not all fish), some poultry (not all poultry), all garden vegetables, a couple of fruits, and a lot of water. I learned I had to eat these foods in the right combination and the right portions in order for my metabolism to work right and burn fat. Then I added a brisk 15-20 minute walk each day and lost 15 pounds in just two weeks.
