Lose weight with detox...no, it's not another fadYou are wondering if you can lose weight with detox. The answer is “yes” provided you do it the right way. 
Perhaps you have tried to lose weight with dieting. This works for some people. Others, maybe the majority, have achieved the opposite: more weight gain. How depressing?Fortunately, you can lose weight with detox. If you are wondering if there is a connection between being depressed and being overweight, the evidence supports it. A scientific paper on a study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry (2006;63:824-830), stated that obesity was associated with significant increases in lifetime diagnosis of major depression. To me, this is all rather obvious. If you are prone to depression and you are overweight, how could you not feel worse when you look at yourself in the mirror? Think about those old photos in the photo album that show you in a slimmer form. And when you see the clothes in your closet that don’t fit you any more, you are again painfully reminded of how you used to look and feel. So, which comes first, depression or obesity? People who are depressed are more prone towards gaining weight due to emotional overeating, negatives thoughts, despair or lack of regular exercise. People who are obese are more likely to feel depressed due to feelings of shame and bad health. However, if you were to survey obese people, most would probably respond, “Who cares? I’m overweight, I don’t feel well and I want to get out of this.” And they have a point. More importantly, would they be able to lose weight with detox? The issue of losing weight is a complex one. There are many factors involved: eating too much, eating the wrong foods, eating at the wrong times, insufficient exercise, emotional eating, genetics, stress and the general state of your health. Every year a few authors make breakthrough claims and the diet book industry loves it. The books generate an endless stream of cash, but the problem of obesity just keeps growing. Consider these four factors to lose weight with detox: • Our filtering organs, such as the liver, are overloaded due to massive quantities of toxins in our air, food, work and home environments. • These excess toxins are stored in fat cells. Toxins love fat and fat loves toxins. • As an ongoing and protective measure, the body continuously makes fat to coat the toxins. • Weight loss will occur when you reduce the toxins first. Then the body will automatically lose weight as a side effect. What specifically do I have to do to lose weight with detox? Toxin Reduction: Toxins are the main culprits. Our bodies are detoxifying constantly through the liver, kidney, skin, lymphatic system and intestinal tract. The liver is our main detoxification organ. To help it function better, try to reduce toxin intake by eating purer foods and drinking filtered water. Nutritional Cleansing: A nutritional cleansing program is designed to gently flush out impurities from the liver, the main organ of detoxification. This is achieved at a cellular level through the use of natural compounds such as Aloe Vera and cleansing teas. Replenishment: Replenishment is achieved with vitamins, botanicals and antioxidants, phytochemicals, probiotics, soluble fibre and amino acids. The absorption of essential nutrients with enzymes is greatly improved by taking an adequate amount of minerals. Muscle-building: Muscle building compounds such as whey powder will help to restore muscles mass as the fat tissue melts away. Water: By drinking at least 8 eighth-ounce glasses of water per day, we can greatly assist the flushing out of impurities from our system. (There are some excellent nutritional cleansing products available commercially) Can I really lose weight with detox? Your digestion has been improved due to better absorption of nutrients.

The weight loss side effect Your overworked liver and intestinal tract is now in the process of being rejuvenated regularly at a cellular level.
You can forget about fad diets Weight loss produces more energy resulting in a renewed desire to exercise.
