subject: How To Maintain A Healthy Weight [print this page] The answer is actually quite simple: diets don't work.
Many common diets tend to burn lean muscle mass along with the fat. Once the diet is over your body will slowly re-gain the pre-existing weight back, but only in the form of fat. So in the end you've just replaced your lean muscle mass with fat. This happens because the "diet" is essentially just starving your body and depleting it of the vital nutrients and minerals it needs on a daily basis.
HOW TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT:
Feed your body the proper nutrients
This includes the NECESSARY 60 MINERALS that we should be feeding out bodies on a daily basis. ENZYMES; we need to be feeding our body the digestive enzymes with every meal or snack we eat! It is very important that we assist our bodies digestion because due to the toxic overload and acidic lifestyles we live, our digestive tract has taken a toll.
Eat nutrient rich foods vs. empty calorie foods; i.e. fast foods
Pay close attention to the nutritional value and the ingredients of the foods you are eating. The more nutritious and the more simple the foods, the more it will aid in healthy weight management. The more whole unprocessed organic foods you eat, the more rich vital living nutrients your body will receive.
Add the unprocessed, unheated, healthy FATS, SALTS, SUGARS, and WATER to your daily routine.
Some examples of this would include unprocessed, unheated olive oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, flax oil (these healthy fats are filled with essential fats such as your Omega 3s and essential fatty acids.) Healthy sugars would include; vital organic fruits such as; seeded fruits like oranges, apples, mangos, melons, etc. Unprocessed, unrefined salts are essential to a healthy diet, some examples of these would be Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Rock Salt. And nothing is more important then healthy water! Our bodies are made of 80% water. Filtered, chlorine-free, vitalized, and mineral rich water is ideal. This makes the water absorbable on a cellular level.
Take deep breathes to relieve stress
It is very important to remember that your stress levels and emotional state of being absolutely contributes to the retention of excess fat and the gaining of unwanted fat. We need to practice little exercises like breathing and stretching and listening to calm music possibly to help our minds and bodies relax.
Cleanse your body to rid it of the toxic overload built up over the years
Nutritional cleansing is absolutely imperative to maintaining not only a healthy long-term weight but also a healthy stress-free life all together. What I mean by nutritional cleansing is that not only are you cleansing your body of all the garbage and impurities BUT at the same time you are replenishing the body with all the vital nutrients and therefore never starving or depleting the body, which tends to cause other harmful effects such as burning lean muscle mass rather than storage fat.
