by Robie Bigeleaux, Rob

We are finding internal body cleansing has been gaining more and more attention with those who follow the latest in diets and weight loss regimens. There are varying degrees of how loose or strict your diet regime can be. The plan in an internal cleanse and weight loss program is to flush toxins from the fat cells of the body. It follows that one of the major components in a cleansing diet would be lots of fiber and water. Here are other important factors to consider.

Your initial step is to find the best program available. It should be a program with natural products that are top quality, pure with no stimulant additives. The best program will offer 3 to 5 product with the right combination of herbs to safely and effectively stimulate cleansing. I have found Detoxologie delivers the best systems available. You may choose Detoxologie's "Triple Cleanse" or their "5 Step Program." Each of these 30 day programs use products that are fresh, natural and have no stimulants at all. The cleansing programs will safely address each of the important steps of internal cleansing that is necessary for the best results. These programs do not necessitate a change in your diet, but you may wish to "clean up" your eating habits to enhance your results. The following are some practical tips to follow if you are combining a body cleanse with good diet and healthy lifestyle changes.

Diet and Water: What Do They Relate to One Another?

The commonality among all good diets is water. Different dieticians and holistic practitioners offer a variety of diets to detox the body, but the one thing you should always find in common is water. By drinking a lot of water the stomach feels full and meals are smaller; this is why weight loss comes with detox dieting. At least eight glasses of water every day will help flush out those toxins. The water regimen will be good for you on a long term basis. Try adding fresh lemon to your water for a very refreshing taste that helps stimulate cleansing in the liver and colon. This is another great habit to keep up after your cleansing program.

Many people find that food allergies are not just developed in childhood; some allergies can develop later in life and cause water retention, fatigue and a feeling of being "off." They include dairy products, wheat, gluten, and peanuts. For this reason, a week without the foods that most often cause allergies is a good thing. The next part is to cut out foods that are full of additives or that contain possible harmful ingredients. Among harmful ingredients are concentrated sugars and caffeine and artificial sweeteners. Refined sugars and flours are also unhealthy choices. Remember to eat simple unrefined foods. If you are in a hurry, just grab an apple instead of something packaged or fast food, this will hold you over until you can get home and make a healthy meal that will add to your health, not take from it.

Which foods should you keep in your detox diet and which should be eliminated? The base of your diet will be healthy proteins, and almost unlimited fruit and vegetables. Your proteins will include lean red meat, poultry, rice with beans, and fish. The fresh fruits and vegetables should always be included in any daily food regimen. Eliminate caffeine from your diet. If caffeine has played a large role in your diet, you may experience side effects, including headaches. If this is the case, try gradually tapering off your caffeine intake. Some find substituting tea for coffee at the start of the diet can help.

Some find the sudden change in diet can result in diarrhea. If this occurs see a doctor or go off the diet. Most people find the benefit from weight loss and internal cleansing, especially if you add healthy eating to the regime, can help begin a long term regimen of healthy eating.

To increase the success rate of any weight management program, we have to shift our thinking of “weight loss" as something that suggests deprivation, hunger or loss to something that suggests growth, development, and gain. Weight loss is not loss, but the building of a lean, powerful body. Losing weight is not losing at all, but gaining a newly reconfigured body. The best way to do this is to enlist the power of your mind. Visualize yourself at your ideal weight. Focus on your slim and slender body, your well-shaped legs. Imagine yourself living a powerful, dynamic life. Would you be bingeing yourself to death? Make this positive visualization of your ideal self a daily practice until you find it actually easy to see yourself as lean, strong and beautiful. Next time you feel like wolfing down a whole chocolate cake, shift your mind to that slender body and well-shaped legs.‘Hunger" is another word we need to reclaim. We think that we have to be hungry to be slim. That is not so at all. We just need to be able to differentiate between real hunger and emotional hunger. Take time out and ask yourself, "Am I really hungry?" Think twice before putting anything in your mouth. If you decide that you are indeed hungry, then eat, but make sure that what you eat honors your body. Make sure it is nutritious food and not empty calories. If you decide the sense of deprivation you are feeling is emotional hunger, then the searching has to go deeper. Are you lonely? Angry? Stifled? Resentful? What is bothering you? Decide if you will take this anger out on your body or take the more courageous route: have it out and come to terms with it. Speak out what it is that makes you mad, sad, uneasy. Don’t be afraid to dig. The best things have come from the darkest pits of the earth.

Know yourself! Know when your most vulnerable moments are. Know when you are most susceptible to being sabotaged by your partner’s sneer, your mother’s disbelief, your sister’s insistence that you don’t have it in you. (Families are so supportive, aren’t they?) Understand that your decision to change challenges their status quo and families are known to resist change (Don’t rock the boat!). Once you understand where your Achilles’ heel is, develop a list of strategies to deal with the issue when it rises. Arm your mind: if you understand where they are coming from, it is easier to be less defensive and submissive. Arm your fridge: should you be swayed by these difficult moments to binge, have a whole fridge of allowable snacks so that even though you indulge in 2, 3 items, there is no harm done.

Plan your day ahead. If you must have a snack before bedtime, make sure that you have low-fat, high protein snacks accessible in the fridge so that you do not opt for what’s left over from dinner instead. There is less likelihood that you will sabotage your weight loss program if you have nutritious and allowable snacks available at all times.

Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day (3 meals plus 2 snacks). Make your body think "abundance", and it will expend more calories. Do not skip meals as this makes you body go into “starvation mode" and your body will respond to that by shutting down your metabolism.

Measure yourself before you start your weight loss program and once a week after that. Measure your upper arms, chest, waist, hips, upper thighs, ankles, wrist. Record your measurements faithfully. If you are following your weight loss program carefully, you will notice a change in measurements very quickly. You will lose in inches; your clothes will feel looser. This will give your mind positive re-inforcement. Do not weigh yourself everyday. Your weight is not really an accurate measure of your progress because weight is dependent on time of day and hormonal fluctuations.

Exercise 4-5 times a week. Work towards doing 30 minutes of cardio (walking, running, cycling) and 15 minutes of weight training. Use visualization to make exercise an active part of the New Beanutiful You.

Reward yourself in ways other than food. Buy a new dress. Go see a movie. Take a weekend trip. Go dancing. Enjoy the new lifestyle you have created for yourself. See it not as a short term goal; instead focus on making the changes lifelong habits. You will forever be eating well, exercising well, taking care of yourself so that you will look great, feel great, be great!Be proud of yourself: you have trained your Body to be an extension of the Mind!
