Weight loss Tips!!!!!
The most
common cause of weight gain is consuming too much fat and not doing enough
exercise to burn off the excess calories. What typically leads us to gain
weight and become obese are imbalances in the mind and body:
- Physical Imbalance: stored toxins
in our digestive tract can drain our energy and cause us to eat
stimulating foods such as sugar that can lead to weight gain.
- Nutritional Imbalance: eating
foods that don't provide the body with the essential nutrients that it
needs to function optimally.
- Mental and Emotional Imbalance:
indulging in excess food is often used to overcome uncomfortable feelings
in our daily lives, such as stress and anxiety.
By
correcting these imbalances, researchers believe that we can naturally make
better food choices that can prevent us from gaining weight. Unfortunately,
most methods of losing weight include the use of drugs or surgery that decrease
our appetite, block fat absorption, or reduce the volume of our stomach.
However, all of these treatments can have serious side-effects. Fortunately a
set of simple home remedies and natural foods can help us achieve this balance
and even promote weight loss, without the negative side effects.
Other less common reasons for weight gain include the following:
Other less common reasons for weight gain include the following:
- A genetic predisposition to store
excess calories as fat.
- Dieting, which slows our
metabolism since the body thinks it is starving, causing us to easily gain
weight when we begin eating again.
- Medications, such as birth control
pills or anti-depressants, are known to cause weight gain.
- Fluid retention, which can be
caused by heart, liver, or kidney disease. This sort of weight gain
requires the attention of a doctor.

Remedies and Natural Cures for Weight Loss
Apple Cider Vinegar
HomeRemediesWeb.com suggests using apple cider vinegar for
weight loss and claims that it may increase your metabolism. Combine 2 tsp. of
organic apple cider vinegar with 16 oz of water and sip it throughout the day.
MayoClinic.com warns that apple cider vinegar may interact with some
supplements or drugs, such as diuretics and insulin, and it can irritate your
throat. MayoClinic.com also states that it is unlikely to be effective.
Green Tea and Caffeine for Weight Loss
Research has found that the combination of Green Tea and
Caffeine can help to boost our metabolism as well as help to suppress our
appetites. Therefore, an effective remedy for weight loss is to take a Green
Tea supplement which contains 50mg of Caffeine and 90mg of EGCG (the active
ingredient in Green Tea) three times per day (once before each meal). Combine
this with a 30-minute exercise routine three times per week (10 minutes of
light weights followed by 20 minutes of cardio). There is some evidence that
suggests individuals can lose up to 2.5 pounds per week using this combination
of exercise and supplements.
Drinking Fruit juices to Promote Weight Loss
A daily fruit juice for breakfast is a fantastic way to
restore balance and promote weight loss. By choosing the right ingredients, you
can easily create a drink which provides a total infusion of essential
vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and fatty acids that also tastes delicious
and prevents food cravings.
An excellent smoothie can be created by mixing the following ingredients in a blender until smooth:

1 cup of soy milk
1 cup of orange juice
1 banana
4 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon of aloe juice
1 tablespoon of concentrated black cherry juice
1 teaspoon of raw, organic bee pollen
1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil
Exercise to Promote Weight Loss
One of the best ways to promote weight loss is by becoming
active and exercising for at least 30 minutes per day. Brisk walking, jogging,
biking, or using indoor machines such as elliptical bikes are excellent ways to
burn off excess calories. Adding some weight training to your exercise routine
is also highly recommended, since increasing muscle mass helps to increase our
metabolism, which allows us to burn more calories while we are at rest. Regular
exercise also helps to reduce stress and depression, which are both common
causes of weight gain.
