The Diet Cola Story by Patricia J Ahner
A friend of mine had been gaining weight for the past maybe 5-6 years, I told her to eliminate the diet cola she had been drinking, to lose weight. She finally did, in 2 months she lost 25 lbs without changing anything else. She not only lost weight, she looked healthier and appeared 10 years younger, her eyes were clearer, she was less tired, her thinking was clearer and her emotions were stable.
Just doing diet & exercise to lose weight is not the trick. People need to know how their body works to really lose weight and stay healthy. “Diet” is too general, people don’t seem to know: diet should not mean stop or reduce what you eat, but choose what you eat very carefully and you will not be hungry and you will lose weight. Start slow, don’t overwhelm yourself, stress eating doesn't help anyone!
GETTING STARTED: WHAT NOT TO PUT IN YOUR BODY:
3 main things that stop the body from losing weight and keeping it off:
Diet things - anything with artificial sugars – seem to stop the body from processing.(4)
Milk & Milk Products - seem to clog up the body in most people (lactose intolerant) and when the body is clogged up, it cannot eliminate properly (5)
Lack of Hydration - good purified water: water seems to helps the body rid itself of toxins that build up and eventually block the body’s function
OTHER THINGS TO AVOID:
Caffeine - stimulates your hunger and dehydrates, so the water part is not working.(1,2)
Anything white - white flour, white sugar, noodles/pasta, rice, white bread - all these things are processed, some are bleached (would you drink bleach???, I hope not, so don’t eat it with your food) and add low or no nutritional value to your body.
WHAT IS GOOD TO PUT IN YOUR BODY
Whole foods - grains, nuts, beans, fruits, vegetables, good water
What is BETTER to put into your body:
Locally grown organic vegetables, fruits - find an organic market near your area that offers locally grown foods, the flavor is beyond anything that is not locally grown. If the flavor is better, the nutrition is better.(3)
Organic anything is better than conventional, whole food is generally better than processed: Hormone & Pesticide free meats and other vegetables allow your body to have less things to deal with, so it can continue to deal with getting the weight off. Whole foods tend to be more nutrient rich so your body can digest them. Some foods, if not overcooked actually contain enzymes which aid digestion.
If it is too much to even wrap your brain around….Start to change your habits, if it is too much, just start with the purified water and eliminate "diet" drinks, you will be amazed.
Good Health to you.
