[G228]Getting Rid Of Body Fat

by Sharon James, Sha

Many of the things that we do not realize can cause our weight loss to take longer. Everyone knows that during weight loss the consumption of anything with fat is bad for you and the fact that most things contain fat just makes this seem like an almost impossible task. But by having the knowledge necessary to know what you can and cannot eat or drink through out the day will make the task much simpler.

One of the biggest sources of fat that anyone can consume in a day occurs most often at lunch time. While you are at work and that lunch buzzer rings, you have only a short time to get your lunch, eat it and then return to work before the bell rings again. This leads to many people making a bad mistake of choosing the wrong food which can adversely affect their weight loss goals.

How often do you grab a sandwich at the snack bar or from a vending machine for lunch just to find yourself hungry for a snack a couple hours later on your next break period. Most people have to deal with this every day and there is actually a great solution to prevent this as well as helping you to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Simply make sure that your sandwich or sub or whatever you choose to snack on has only whole wheat bread rather than the enriched white bread. The reason that whole wheat is good for you goes above and beyond the fact that the flour used to make white bread has been cleaned of most of the vitamins and minerals during its bleaching process. The Whole wheat bread is known for stabilizing your blood sugar levels which can help to curb your hunger through the fact that you will not be as hungry in two or three hours after eating.

If you do go for a sandwich, try to avoid ones with any cheese as cheese is known to be high in fat. Try to get yourself some high protein items on your sandwich as well. A tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat with low fat or fat free mayonnaise is a great way to get you protein as well as keeping down the consumption of fat. As a result, you will have more energy to spend and will be able to go longer without suffering from those mid afternoon hunger pains.

While at the same time, you should also stay away from that basket of complimentary bread that is left at the table. This bread is high in carbs and is only there for you to fill up on. In reality though, you are not filling up on the bread as it is expanding in your stomach making you think that you are full. This leads to the bread being dissolved and digested rather quickly and leaves you feeling hungry once again.

Instead, if you are feeling hungry while you are waiting for your meal to arrive, order a small salad, without cheese and ask for Italian dressing. This will provide you with good vitamins and minerals as well as helping you to curb your appetite so that when your meal arrives you can enjoy it without feeling as guilty.

Clogged With 70K Chemicals
There are 70,000 chemicals being used in commercial production in the US. The EPA has classified 65,000 of them potentially, if not definitely hazardous to human health. Over 6,000 new chemicals are tested in the US each week! Three thousand chemicals have been identified as intentionally added to food supplies and over 700 in drinking water. During food processing and storage, more than 10,000 other compounds can become an integral part of many commonly used foods. One of the major symptoms of chemical toxicity seems to be a breakdown of the immune function, which encourages all kinds of symptoms in the body. Another major symptom is damage to the nervous system and nervousness. We aren't rewarded immediately with good health and radiant well-being as soon as we change our "evil ways." Our bodies has been clogged with so many types of toxins that it is not surprising that the human civilization has been plague by so many types of diseases for the last 20 years or so!

Toxic Environment
The vast increase of chemicals in our environment, foods and medicines has greatly altered the body's ability to rid itself of toxins. Often, the recovery of health and improvement of the diet cause unpleasant symptoms. People truly seeking health have to decide to sacrifice their old comfortable diet patterns and habits to be rewarded by good health. It doesn't take long before they discover that after improving their diet, they sometimes feel much worse. A common complaint is, "Do I really have to go through that?" They're going through what is called detoxification. Poor health and illness is progressive; it does not occur overnight. Good health and well being is also progressive; it may take weeks, months, or years depending on how toxic our system is.

Are Stimulants Toxic Too?
A stimulant is a substance that quickly changes a symptom in an unnatural way. Many people in Western society live on stimulation. We use stimulation to make us feel good. If you try to control a symptom with stimulants, the cause of that symptom will remain. The core of a problem will never be solved by using stimulants. The number of stimulants we use is endless, from drugs to food preservatives we eat everyday.

First Step To Detoxification
Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes which reduce intake of toxins and improve elimination. Avoidance of chemicals, from food or other sources, refined food, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and many drugs helps minimize the toxin load. Those lifestyle changes are a direct result of choices you make in your life. Make the right choices and you will be rewarded with good health.

Cleansing Your System
Bentonite clay and flaxseeds assist with the colon cleansing process. Bentonite is a type of edible clay that acts as a bulk laxative by absorbing water to form a gel. It binds toxins such as pesticides and helps to carry them out of the colon. Flaxseeds also absorb water and expand in the colon, allowing toxins and mucus to be removed. In addition, flaxseeds have been found to lower cholesterol levels too.

Most Effective Detox System
The most effective detox system is when you make use of your skin, your sweat glands and your body's natural abilities to flushing out toxins. Sauna has also been well known to improve the conditions of acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and any skin lesions and cuts. Open wounds also heal quicker with reduced scarring. All this is because sauna therapy is the most effective method in flushing out toxins from your body. Did you know that your sweat contains more toxins than urine?
