Let’s face it. Diets don’t work! If you don’t have first hand experience with that notion, ask anyone who has tried and failed to lose weight a dozen times or more. The dieting merry-go-round, as I like to call it, can be brutally discouraging and frustrating, not to mention that it plummets your self esteem to an all time low! “What’s wrong with me?!” you think. “Why can’t I find the right diet, program or pill?!” And once you think have, you wonder why you can’t stick to it. Juice fasting to the resue!

There is one fundamental reason as to why you haven’t been able to loose the pounds despite your most dogged and sincere efforts. And that reason boils down to one word– TOXICITY! All disease– including excess weight– stems from the same problem. It’s the result of a build up of waste materials in the body. In fact, I often tell my clients that fat is their friend. And after the look of bewilderment dissolves from their faces, I proceed to tell them that it’s fat that’s keeping their bodies safe from the harm of toxins. Let me explain…

You see fat has one purpose– to buffer toxins. Just like an oyster will wrap a single grain of sand in an alkaline substance (the pearl) to prevent aggravation, so do our bodies wrap foreign contaminants. Only our bodies wrap them in fat! So, the more toxic you are, the more fat cells you will have and the more frustrated you will be. And that’s why diets don’t work! They don’t address the underlying CAUSE of your weight problem in the first place. But the solution is simple… DETOXIFY.

Arguably the best way to help your body detoxify from the onslaught of environmental and food related toxicity that we are faced with today AND eliminate the source of your weight problem at once, is to use the age old, time tested technique of Juice Fasting. Juice fasting for weight loss has helped countless people eliminate their weight problems permanently because rather than being a ‘diet’, it is designed to simultaneously flush your body free of toxins AND saturate it with enzyme rich fruit and vegetable juices. This in turn sets up optimum conditions for your body to release the excess weight for good. (And to thrive!)

There are two main reasons why people are finding it so difficult to lose weight and keep it off these days. First is the fact that toxic substances are bombarding our bodies on a constant basis. The list of foreign agents in our food, air and water that have a negative cumulative impact on our health goes on and on. Second is that people are consuming far more calories than ever before. This is due to the fact the the majority of our food supply has become watered down and denatured due to processing and unsound farming practices, causing us to require twice as many calories to get the same amount of nutrition we would have had to have consumed only decades ago. Therefore people keep eating in order to satisfy their cravings which are simply signals from the body calling out to satisfy it’s nutritional needs!

Juice fasting for weight loss takes both these of issue and swiftly nips them in the bud. Built around the simple idea that by flooding your body with abundant quantities of high quality bioavailable nutrition in the form of enzyme rich fruit and vegetable juices, the body’s nutritional needs are satisfied and cravings disappear. Then, once the the body gets its nutritional requirements satisfied and fulfilled, it goes to work detoxifying your entire system and scrubbing clean each of your 80 trillion cells. Because all nutrition is ”juiced”, the need for digestion (which can take up to a whopping 70% of your energy!) is eliminated and the body can spend that energy cleaning up the mess that is causing you to remain overweight despite any and all dieting efforts.

So as you can see, juice fasting for weight loss is by far the most efficient and health affirming way to jump-start your body and get you looking and feeling fabulous fast! And since there are no side effects, besides radiantly glowing skin, sparkling eyes and the energy of a ten year old, can you think of any reason not to give it a try?!

Maybe you’ve decided that your slinky black dress is becoming rather – shall we say, lumpy…Perhaps that dreaded school reunion is just around the corner, or you haven’t been able to see your toes for a while – whatever the cause, you need to drop 10 or 15 pounds. Enter, the 3 day tuna diet and it seems to be fast and easy. just what you were thinking of!

Hold off! There are a few facts about the 3 day tuna diet that you will want to know before you decide to get started.

True, the 3 day tuna diet has climbed the popularity charts very quickly. As a crash diet, it’s one of the hot ones. Why? Most people believe it can’t be harmful to your health due to the short amount of time involved.

That couldn’t be further from the truth. This, and virtually EVERY crash diet adversely affects your metabolism. What that means bottom line is that you are setting yourself up to gain back all the weight you lost – fast – plus some. Your 10 pound annoyance will rapidly escalate into a 20 pound disaster.

The route to success for ALL crash diets is through starvation. That includes the 3 day tuna diet. It works to lose a few pounds at first, but starvation is also the reason why it’s unhealthy. If you aren’t getting enough calories, your body will slip into starvation mode – within the first day.

When your body – in an attempt to protect you – has switched over to starvation mode, it’s usually fairly easy to tell. You’ll feel sluggish and not want to do anything, you might start to dream about food (night dreams AND day dreams), you could have trouble keeping warm and will constantly be cold, specially in your extremities.

Any diet below the 1200 calorie per day threshold is considered a low calorie diet. Any diet below 800 calories is considered to be a very low calorie diet. (VLCD) The 3 day tuna diet is very near to the “VLCD” level.

Regardless of the level of obesity, no child should EVER be on a “VLCD”. No adult should attempt it without close supervision of a doctor.

The name: 3 day Tuna Diet, gives the appearance that the diet lasts only 3 days. Not so, you are on and off of it for a full month and the foods you are eating are NOT a balanced diet and have no real chance of helping with long term weight loss.

Be wary of the refined carbohydrates that make up such a large portion of the diet. They have minor if any nutritional value and will cause a spike in the production of insulin. Spiking and dropping off of insulin levels not only creates food cravings and energy highs and lows – but can lead to major medical difficulties.

Worse, even if you do manage to stick it out during the 3 days each week, your food cravings will make you gorge and overeat the other four days when you are not on the 3 day tuna diet. As far back as the 1970’s, studies have shown that the average dieter will gain back all their weight plus an average of 8 pounds in the weeks just after the diet.

You can lose weight and keep it off. There are many diets that work very well – and safely. They replace bad food choices and habits with better ones. With these safe diets, you should NEVER experience hunger.

It is a safe assumption that everyone on the planet wants to look their very best. Although it may be for drastically different reasons, there is a need for people who look as if they had just had a makeover most of the time. Luckily, there happen to be many different methods for this to happen, regardless of what a person considers to be an area a problematic area for them, and they may choose the procedure known as liposuction.

Will it work for me? For a resounding amount of people, the problem usually seems to be their weight. Many people are simply not pleased with how much they weigh, and liposuction can generally help them out with their discomfort with the extra weight that they may have accumulated. Although, this may be an embarrassing topic for many, it is quite normal, and the procedure generally works in the favor of everyone who decides to choose this approach in combating weight.

In talking about liposuction, many people feel as if it may be a little risky, and they generally wonder if they are the ideal candidate for it. Luckily, everyone can usually have it done, as it is not a very strenuous process. The criterion for the perfect liposuction patient is:

- In good health – Non-smoking – Within twenty five pounds of the target weight – Without any significant health problems – Exercise regularly – Does not have fluctuations in health – Are genuinely realistic about the surgery

It is also noteworthy to state that the person does not require that this is a weight-loss method, which is the common misconception about weight loss. The desiring candidate should know that this is a reshaping process for aesthetic purposes. Other areas for concern are the age of the patient, although it is not absolutely a huge concern, but the elasticity of the skin obviously deteriorates over the course of time.

Other noteworthy mention is the state of the skin when choosing to undergo the liposuction procedure. For instance, those with cellulite and/or stretch marks do not have the same results as people that do not, and may not find that their surgery wasn’t as much as a success than what they had envisioned it to be.

Results After liposuction, the patient will generally feel amazing about the choice that they made, and they will absolutely love the way that they look. The procedure is usually one that does not incur many problematic experiences, and the recovery is something that can be described as one of a breeze. For the person who would like to have this method done to improve the way that they look, it is wise to state that they should talk to their doctor with a more in-depth consideration into what they are about to embark on. Although it is very rewarding, the process may not be for everyone, so proper research about liposuction would most definitely be advisable for those looking to improve their look!
