You want to achieve lasting weight loss, don't you? You want to lose weight for good rather than losing for a time and then putting it back on again soon after, like so many people do.
No-one is going to go out and say that they want to lose weight only in the short term. They're not going to say that they want to 'lose weight for a while and then pile it all back on again'. Nope, anyone who has a problem with their weight wants a permanent solution. The problem is, most people have no idea what that solution is.
They think they do, however. They think that a regular diet or nutrition plan is going to give them the results that they want. They think they'll start eating healthily and somehow they'll manage to maintain this forever and stay slim and healthy for good.
No chance.
Not gonna happen! In fact the truth is that only 1 in 200 people manage to lose weight and then keep that weight off for good from dieting alone. 1 in 200! Thats only 0.5%, not good oods in anyone's book.
What you may also not know is that detoxing is essential if you want to lose weight for good. Why? Well let me briefly tell you.
Toxins are everywhere. They are in our food, in the air, in our cleaning products, our beauty products...just all over the place really. When these toxins are ingested into the body they get stored in our fat cells. Now, these toxins are bad for the body (obvisouly) and our body helps protect against them using the insulation around our nervous system and organs. And what helps insulate our organs and nervous system? Fat.
Yep, we all need some fat around our organs and nervous system as protection. And the more toxic we are, the more protection we're going to need. So, when you go on a diet and your fat cells get smaller, you're actually making yourself more toxic.
How?
Well, simply because these toxins are stored in our fat cells and as they shrink, and the toxicity remains, we end up becoming more toxic. Not great.
The body responds to all of this by producing more fat as protection. So this is kind of where rebound weight gain comes from - its a reaction and defence mechanism brough about by the toxic overload in your system.
This is one of the main reasons why you may well have suffered from rebound weight gain before. Unless you reduce the toxicity in your fat cells, you're not going to be able to lose that fat and keep it off.
Detoxing, therefore, is certainly a crucial element of any long term weight loss program, especially if you're struggled in the past with rebound weight gain and yo-yo dieting.
