As a child I loved sugar. I had sugary cereals, toast with caramel on it, freshly squeezed artificial fruit punch. I don’t blame my mother. It was what all mothers fed their kids. No one knew the possible side effect of a nutrient deficient diet. As a matter of fact, I think that many people still, to this day, do not understand. All we want is that magic diet pill to satisfy our need to lose weight fast.
We are motivated to lose weight, each time we decide to get on the diet band wagon. But what happens, we fall off the wagon and we get more and more discouraged each time. We don’t even notice other “symptoms” of excess weight. We are not taught what necessary nutrients our bodies need to survive. We are given/taught the daily food guide, but not much beyond that. And who follows that anyway? And because we are a fast society we believe that to lose weight fast is going to be a no brainer.
Let me tell you a story. When you get a new car, you like the way it drives and handles and often you don’t hear the engine running. Have you ever tried to restart a new car because you do not think it was on? I did. I had my first car nearly 10 years. And to keep it in good running order, I serviced it when it needed it by having the oil changed, spark plugs tweaked and breaks checked. As my car got older, it began to run a little rougher than before and started to show rust spots.
One of my friends who had the same car, but hers worked a little better, lasted a little longer. The reason: her husband was an avid car guy and he knew a little more (ok a lot more) about cars than I did. He was a passionate amateur mechanic.
You may wonder what this story has to do with weight loss? Not much actually. However, what I want to illustrate to you is that the more we know about the “mechanics” of something, the longer that something will last. And the better it will run. That also goes for our body.
You should know that an oil change gets rid of the oil as we hear about the benefits of having this done on advertisements all the time. Good quality oil extends the life of your vehicle as does using premium gas. Well, our bodies, including our brain are no different. Natural weight loss should come rather as a side effect of maintaining our body with premium fuel that no magic fast weight loss pill can do.
Let’s go back to my childhood… Eating loads of sugar, empty carbohydrates, and chemically enhanced or engineered protein is not considered premium fuel. Actually, it’s empty food, containing no nutrients. The food guide says a balanced diet consists of 4 food groups. But your typical honey nut cereals are not a source of grains. French fries are not really a vegetable and milk with strawberry or chocolate syrup will not help you grow healthy bones.
What eating these foods will do is prevent your body from functioning at its best. And one day, we find ourselves looking for that magic diet pill for easy weight loss.
In my case, I was in my forties with three children, and feeling “Forty, Fat and Frumpy. What happened? Is this what getting old is all about? Will I be a couch potato for the rest of my life? I don’t think so … I want to live until I’m 80, at the very least. That’s a lot of channel flipping to find motivation. I wanted to lose weight fast, but did not have the energy to do anything. I cut out junk food before, I tried to eat balanced meals. Why was nothing working for me?
But one day, my life changed completely. I met someone who introduced me to a program that would nourish my body and remove impurities, not a weight loss program to lose weight fast, although to my surprise, that’s exactly what it did. It was about finding a balance in my body, and food rich in nutrients, and at the same time removing all the impurities at the cellular level.
Impurities/toxins comes from many sources, not just the food we eat, the water we drink, but think about the air we breathe, chemicals we use. Of course, we can reduce the impurities, but we cannot stop them all together. Pollution is here to stay and it affects how we feel.
Life does not end at forty. Not only did I lose weight fast, but I found myself in a new way that I share with others who want to lose weight fast. I feel better physically and emotionally. All pistons are firing! I am in tip top shape.
