As a
naturopathic
doctor and
certified
nutritionist, I
have dealt with
thousands of
cases of people
wanting or
needing to lose
weight anywhere
from 5 to 200
pounds. I have
learned so much
about weight
loss it could
literally fill
volumes.
People’s
patterns,
weaknesses,
desires,
compulsions and
even neuroses
can cause weight
gain.
I
have
learned
the
majority
of the
time, we
do the
damage.
When working
with a patient
who wants to
lose weight, I
have also
learned the road
provided to us
by Nature is
much preferred
to the road
provided to us
by man and
medicine. Nature
gives us its
simple, logical
and non-evasive
principals to
live by. When we
don’t live by
these
principles, we
become sick and
one of the
symptoms of
illness is
obesity.
Nature never
killed anybody
on a weight loss
program.
Unfortunately, I
can’t say the
same for man and
medicine. There
have been far
too many
people’s lives
damaged or lost
due to harsh
weight loss
procedures. Fen
Phen - t he once
popular diet
drug - caused
serious health
complications
(including
death) and was
taken off the
market. Read the
warning labels
on common O.T.C.
weight loss
medicines and be
prepared to be
shocked: “Users
may experience
“abdominal pain,
pounding or
irregular
heartbeat,
severe
headaches,
severe
vomiting,
severe
nervousness,
severe
restlessness,
convulsions,
seizures,
hallucinations,
hostile
behavior,” and
more.
All
of this
begs the
question:
which
road
should
we
choose
when
going on
a
healthy
weight
loss
plan: man
and
medicine’s
approach
– or
Nature’s
approach?
Man and medicine
often uses
synthesized and
damaging
components to
force unnatural
weight loss.
Only recently
have man and
medicine begun
to realize that
proper diet,
consistent
exercise,
healthy
lifestyle, pure
water to
de-stress and
other simple
elements are
critical for
anyone desiring
to lose extra
pounds. Man and
medicine’s
approach has
destroyed lives,
organs, and even
the spirit of
its victims -
even the
nutritional
supplement
industry has
come out with
some pretty
harsh products.
On the other
hand, Nature’s
approach is
filled with
vibrant, live
foods rich in
vitamins,
minerals,
enzymes, and
thirst quenching
liquids,
sunshine,
plentiful rest,
exercise and
finally,
Nature’s
medicine chest
which contains
nutritional and
herbal elements.
The closer we
live to nature,
the healthier we
are. The further
we live from
nature, the more
toxic we become.
The more toxic
we become, the
more our body’s
functions and
reserves slow
down – this
contributes to
weight gain.
My best results
as a
nutritionist
with weight loss
have always come
from addressing
weight loss from
a COMPREHENSIVE,
natural
approach. We
must attack
weight loss from
all appropriate
angles, hold the
client’s hand
and give Love,
support,
encouragement
and sometimes
even a strong
push in the
right direction.
Below is an
outline of a
very effective
and healthy
weight loss
program:
1.
Digestion is
Key:
Enhance
Digestion with
Digestive
Enzymes
2.
Ensure Proper
Elimination:
If you’re not
having 2 – 3
bowel movements
everyday, get a
good all natural
Internal
Cleansing
product and fix
the problem
quickly.
3. Drink
Pure Water:
12 – 13 glasses
of purified
water daily to
flush the
kidneys, bladder
and urinary
tract - critical
during weight
loss.
4. Enjoy
Exercise:
Cardio is
critical for
weight loss.
Panting and
sweating enhance
mood, mind
function and
memory.
5.
Strengthen the
Thyroid Gland:
Make sure the
thyroid gland is
not slow
(hypoactive.)
Iodine is the #1
nutrient for our
Thyroid Gland.
SUGGESTION
6.
Cleanse The
Liver:
Responsible for
metabolizing
fats, most
overweight
people have
liver overload:
toxic buildup. A
clogged liver
can also
contribute to
cellulite
formation.
7.
Systematically
under-eat:
One of the best
exercises you
can do: “ The
Push away.” That
is – to simply
learn to push
away from the
table before
you’re full.
8. Get
all Vital and
Required
Nutrients:
What most people
don’t know is
your body can
feel continually
hungry because
of malnutrition.
Feed your body
with fast foods
and processed
carbs and your
body will be
starving for
nutrients.
Eating a large
quantity of food
does not equal
eating a large
quantity of
nutrients. Good
liquid
nutritional
supplements will
fix this
quickly.
9. STOP
eating dead
foods:
Junk, fried and
fast foods, fat,
sugar, caffeine,
processed carbs,
dairy, cheese
and soda.
Remember, the
more Live foods
we eat, the more
alive we feel.
The more dead
foods we eat . .
.
10.
Balance blood
sugar:
Unbalanced blood
sugar levels
cause mental
confusion and
fatigue.
Don’ts: sodas,
sugar,
stimulants,
candy, coffee,
overeating, too
many carbs
(especially in
the morning)
Do’s: smaller
meal portions
throughout the
day, B Complex
vitamins,
Chromium, plenty
of Protein and
exercise.
11. Increase
metabolism:
Age slows
metabolism.
Take Natural
nutrients:Iodine,
Kelp, Cinnamon,
Cayenne Pepper,
Mustard Seed,
Ginger to
enhance
metabolism.
Also, digestive
enzymes are
critical.
7 more important
considerations:
Use
herbs to
address
water
retention.
Use
herbs to
stimulating
BAT
(Brown
Adipose
Tissue.)
Use
herbs to
increase
thermogenesis.
Use
herbs to
increase
serotonin
levels
to help
control
food
cravings.
Use
herbs to
increase
circulation.
Use
vitamins
to
increase
energy
levels.
Plenty
of
Sunshine,
rest &
quiet
time for
contemplation.
The bottom line
regarding weight
loss is: you
have choices.
Choose the
destructive way
- often times
devastating and
even life
threatening
results occur.
Choose Nature’s
way - and let
the power of
Nature do its
work.
From my
experience,
there really is
no choice.
At
my
nutritional
clinic
I
use
some
very
simple
but
effective
techniques
to
promote
healthy
weight
loss.
I do
not
believe
in
harmful
deprivation
diets,
water
pills,
harsh
chemicals
and
other
such
gimmicks
that
offer
only
temporary
weight
loss
while
doing
the
body
harm.
I
have
had
very
successful,
permanent
weight
loss
results
with
my
clients
by
addressing
weight
control
through
natural,
easy-to-follow
steps:
Supplementation
I
believe
in
nutritional
supplementation
to
assist
with
weight
loss
and
use
an
all-natural
nutritional
support
system
at
my
clinic
to
help
clients
change
their
eating
patterns,
enhance
their
fat-burning
capabilities,
sup-port
their
energy
levels,
assist
in
fat
digestion
and
enhance
their
overall
nutrition.
In
this
fast-paced
day
and
age,
it’s
hard
to
always
eat
right
and
resist
temptation.
A
good-for-you,
natural
weight-loss
supplement
often
gives
you
that
extra
“ammunition”
needed
to
achieve
weight-loss
goals.
Do
not
Diet
I
believe
that
“diet”
is
one
of
those
four-letter
words
with
negative
connotations.
Dieting,
whether
you’re
following
one
of
those
diet
club
menus
that
offer
ready-made,
prepackaged
foods,
or
simply
following
a
strict
program
of
cutting
out
certain
foods---
i.e.,
the
“grapefruit
diet,”
the
“brown-rice
diet,”
the
all-protein
diet,
etc.
---is
a
diet
program
almost certain
to
fail
because
it
is
not
reality
based.
Yes,
you
can
lose
weight
in
the
short-term
with
some
of
these
diet
programs,
but
in
the
long
haul
most
people
regain
it
when
they
begin
eating
normal
food
again.
Starvation
and
deprivation
diets
cause
the
body
to
gain
more
weight
as
it
adjusts
itself
for
“famine,”
slowing
down
metabolic
and
digestive
functions
for
“dietary
fuel
conservation”
and
becoming
more
efficient
than
ever
at
storing
fat.
Healthy
Foods
The
key
to
long
lasting
weight
loss
is
to
follow
a
healthy
diet!
The
idea
isn’t
to
deprive
yourself
or
to
always
feel
hungry.
It’s
possible
to
eat
larger
portions
of
good-for-you
foods
that
satiate
your
appetite
yet
allow
you
to
lose
weight!
Eat
low-fat
foods
consisting
of
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables,
rainbow
salads,
legumes,
beans
and
whole
grains.
These
foods
fill
you
up
without
filling
you
out!
Eat
flesh
protein
in
moderation,
sticking
to
lean,
small
portions
of
fresh
chicken,
fish
and
meat.
Try
to
stay
away
from
fried
foods,
junk
foods,
excessive
sweets,
dairy,
breads
and
alcohol.
The Carbohydrate
Trap
Did
you
know
that
eating
too
many
carbohydrates,
even
the
‘non-fat”
kind
such
as
fat-free
cookies,
muffins,
bagels,
etc.,
pack
on
unwanted
pounds?
Both
complex
and
simple
carbohydrates
are
broken
down
into
sugar
by
the
human
body.
Sugar,
when
not
used
as
fuel,
converts
to
fat
and
is
stored
as
such.
This
simple
fact
is
why
obesity
is a
bigger
problem
than
ever
in
the
U.S.
despite
the
abundant
supply
of
fat-free
food
products.
Eat
carbohydrates
in
extreme
moderation!
Do
Not
Overeat
Eat
small
meals!
This
simple
rule
has
changed
more
lives
at
my
nutritional
clinic
than
you
can
imagine.
Even
the
best
foods
can
place
a
burden
on
the
digestive
processes
if
you
eat
too
much
of
them.
Do
not
overwhelm
your
digestive
system.
This
slows
down
your
metabolism
and
causes
weight
gain.
Practice
“pushing
back”
from
the
dinner
table
when
your
stomach’s
almost
full,
not
necessarily
when
your
plate’s
empty!
No Late-Night Meals
Eating
late
is
the
“kiss
of
death”
to
weight-loss
programs!
Your
body
uses
nighttime
sleeping
hours
to
cleanse,
restore
and
rejuvenate
the
digestive
and
eliminatory
systems.
For
your
metabolism
to
function
at
its
most
efficient,
it
depends
on
this
nightly
restorative
process
to
keep
your
body
operating
at
optimum
levels.
Have
you
ever
eaten
late
at
night
then
awaken
the
next
morning
feeling
like
a
“freight
train
ran
over
you”?
That’s
because
while
your
mind
was
sleeping,
your
poor
digestive
system
was
working
overtime,
with
very
little
sleep.
It’s
impossible
to
lose
weight
with
an
overloaded,
sluggish
metabolism
and
eating
late
at
night
can
be a
main
contributing
factor
to
this
problem.
Exercise
Last
but
not
least,
daily
exercise
is
an
important
key
to
weight
loss.
Exercise
raises
your
body’s
fat-burning
capabilities,
enabling
your
body
to
burn
calories
more
efficiently
and
at a
faster
rate.
Cardiovascular
exercise,
where
you
sweat
and
pant,
stimulates
your
entire
body,
encouraging
optimum
circulation,
heart
strength,
lymphatic
drainage,
lung
power
and
more.
It
also
enhances
your
mood,
mind
and
memory.
Weight-training
exercise
increases
lean
muscle
mass.
Muscle
tissue
burns
calories
for
energy
so
the
greater
amount
of
muscle
tissue
you
have,
the
more
calories
you
can
burn.
Find
a
physical
activity
you
like
to
do
whether
it
is
taking
long
walks
with
your
dog,
joining
an
aerobics
class,
playing
team
sports,
etc.
Remember
you
don’t
have
to
be
an
Olympic
athlete
to
benefit
from
exercise—just
sweat
and
pant
a
little
bit
every
day
and
reap
the
weight-loss
benefits
ten-fold!
Healthy, long-term weight loss is within your reach.
My nutritional clients have achieved what they thought were “unachievable weight-loss goals” by following the simple guidelines listed above.
Carrying
excess
poundage
is
not
a
natural
state
for
the
human
body.
We
must
listen
to
it,
support
it
with
the
right
nutrients,
nurture
it,
stimulate
it
and
treat
it
“right”—and
our
natural,
healthy
body
weight
will
prevail.
