Eliminate toxins that trap fat

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

The accumulation of toxins, residues of poor nutrition (wrong food choice or food of poor quality), an excess of stress hormones and the consequences of environmental pollution are just one of those responsible for the accumulation of fat in the body. In any case the advice of nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D.

The result of this accumulation of toxins, weakening labor liver, thyroid, adrenals, and accelerate the formation of fat in the cells and slows its elimination.

The solution: A program of cleaning 3 days.

This program is actually a mini detox which will eliminate high-speed excess toxins from your body and will effectively start your program of weight loss, whatever.

The core program: fruit

The fruit, when carefully chosen, are a weapon of great power in a detoxification program. They have the ability to give tone to the production of glucagon, a hormone secreted by the pancreas to increase blood glucose (sugar in the blood) and promoting lipolysis (fat destruction). That is to say that this hormone is a true ally in the war on fat.

Fruits also provide more than 1200 enzymes necessary for metabolism of the body, without neglecting the intake of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning of the liver and its ability to convert fat to eliminate. The fibers present in fruits can also capture much of the fat present in the digestive tract and eliminated through the intestinal tract.

The simple program of detoxification using some fruit and some other foods, is so powerful that only 3 days there will be a great transformation in your body. The fat will literally caught and expelled from the cell body. The liver, thyroid and adrenal glands work much more effectively and toxins will be neutralized.

The result will be the beginning of your weight loss and more energy.

Your allies in the war on extra pounds:

Lawyers:
A simple lawyer provides 30 grams of fatty acid Omega-9, a type of fat that helps control hunger and cravings. It also helps the liver to process fats more efficiently to eliminate them. Research at the University of California at Riverside, we demonstrated that it was possible to lose 5 pounds in 2 months, consuming a daily lawyer, without calculating the calories consumed.

Citrus
(lemons, oranges, grapefruits): Simply eat half a cup daily of citrus fruits, preferably before meals, prevents absorption of fat by the body, according to research conducted in Ontario, Canada.

Eggs:
To accomplish the hundreds of chemical reactions for the transformation of fatty liver has a great need for amino acids such as taurine, cysteine and methionine. Two eggs consumed each day, providing the necessary amount of these amino acids.

Linseed:
They contain 800 times more lignans, a compound that helps the liver to metabolize toxins than any other food or plant. Also flaxseed are rich in soluble fibers and Omega-3, whose role is also very important in controlling fat and glucose.

The 3-day program:

Day 1

Saturate your body proteins: The key to success when using the treatment of fruit to detoxify the body is, initially, reduce the level of glycogen in the body. Glycogen retained in cells, is the primary source of energy used by the liver and muscles. When the glycogen level decreases, the body is folded into the stored fat reserves stored in the body and are overweight.

The fastest way to lower the level of glycogen and burn fat quickly is to saturate the body proteins. In practice this principle, just one day, increases of 50% reduction of glycogen available.

From 8:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon:
you consume EVERY 2 HOURS a protein shake. Any protein-rich drink will do, provided it is not sweetened with sugar (glucose, fructose, maltose, etc..) Or an artificial sweetener.
A drink consisting of one part soy protein powder for a cup of water is a good example of a protein shake). There are a multitude of drink in such trade.

At 6:00 in the evening (18h00):
Your meal will be in a salad of raw vegetables accompanied by half a lawyer, and 150 gr accompanied by a high source of protein to choose among the following foods: chicken, turkey breast, fish, lean beef or 4 white cooked eggs.
Season with a tablespoon of ground flaxseed.

Days 2 and 3

Saturate your body with fresh fruit and begin to eliminate toxins: The abundance of live enzymes and other nutrients will accelerate the work of the liver and metabolic transformation and elimination of toxins that hold prisoners of fat your body.

From 8:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon:
you consume EVERY 2 HOURS salad of fresh fruit.

Examples:

8:00: 2 cups of watermelon (you can combine several kinds of melons)
10.00: 1 half banana
12:00: 2 cups of a mixture of sliced pineapple (fresh, not canned!), Strawberries, sliced apple and a small orange, diced, some blueberries or blueberry.
14.00: 1 cup diced grapefruit
16.00: 1 cup sliced apples accompanied + 1 cup of blueberries and blueberries (if not the season for blueberries, you can use frozen fruit)
18.00: 6 cups mixed raw vegetable (any vegetable) accompanied by a half avocado, juice of one lemon and sprinkle of ground flaxseed (1 tablespoon). + 1 large glass of protein drink unsweetened.
Drinking plus 1 large glass of water.

This program allows to perform rapid detoxification and initiate the right foot on a program of weight loss. It is better to practice in peace and serve with a good daily walk of 15 to 30 minutes. After 3 days done, you can either continue with another program or diet to lose weight, or return to a normal diet and start this program 3 days each week for a total duration of 12 weeks. This should allow you to lose an average of 1.5 pounds per week, or a loss of up to nearly 10 pounds in 3 months.

So to lose weight, it is preferable to a low-intensity activity on a sustained and prolonged. For example, instead of jogging for 10 minutes, it is better to do brisk walking for 30 minutes. Pay special attention to respiration (breathing deeply as possible). Oxygenation promotes fat burning.
