Jump-start Weight-loss: Precursor to Exercise

Many of us know people who desire to lose weight but just can't seem to get it going. Often times people need to lose weight for various health reasons but the ailments that they need to lose the weight for, are the very ailments that prevent them from doing the exercise needed to burn the calories & fat that contribute to the ailment. For example; one might suffer from severe back pain. Often times ppl w/ back pain are overweight or obese. If a person has back pain from obesity, the weight loss needs to take place for the back to be relieved. Well if their back bothers them so much that they can't exercise then what are they supposed to do? Seems hopeless doesn't it? Well there is yet hope (Romans 8:25).

Although a healthy diet can only go so far without exercise, it is a great way for beginners or morbidly obese ppl to jump start their weightloss journey. Often times when you see morbidly obese ppl on television they are put on a very strict diet. Alot of times these men/women lose hundreds of lbs just from the healthy eating alone. A change in diet will display IMMEDIATE changes in one's weight/health b/c the shock to the body takes place during the 1st 6 weeks of lifestyle change. These immediate changes will not only make you lose weight, they will shrink your stomach & help detoxify your system. Follow these steps & I guarantee you will lose at least 15 lbs in one month's time without exercise.

• CLEANSE, CLEANSE, CLEANSE. DETOXIFY YOUR BODY. There are many colon & full body detoxification cleanses out there. (Please contact me privately for recommendations. Don't want to post names on the blog & end up gettin sued.) There are ones that you can purchase at the store & there is also the master cleanse (which is not for everybody), along with various teas & oils that will help aid in this process. Why detox though?
• it will help purify your system. We eat, drink, & breathe toxins & poisons on a daily basis & these toxins need to be removed from our bodies. Your body releases toxins several ways, through the skin, breathing, through urinating & pooping.
• A healthy colon is essential to long life as well as weight loss. Colon cleanses target the colon specifically b/c lots of poisons & disease lie in the colon if not pushed out. Many of us have lbs & lbs of waste in us that we don't even know are there. I promise you if you clean your colon you'll lose weight & you will feel revitalized. 
• A lot of aches, pains & ailments come from unhealthy eating & a system that needs to be cleansed. I can attest to this fact. The poisons & toxins that are in our bodies affect not only our weight but our ability to function &l ive life comfortably. Detoxing will aid in the healing of the ailments. Cleansing will help relieve these ailments that hinder you from exercising.
• Alot of skin problems that we have are caused by our eating as well. The release of those toxins will restore beautiful & bright skin to the detoxer (if u will).
• Watch your meals. For 2 weeks eat only 3 meals with 2 snacks (fruit or vegetables ONLY) & drink nothing but water. If you have to have something with flavor ONLY drink 100% fruit/vegetable juice. No fried foods, no sweets or junk. No gravies, heavy cream sauces, white bread or pastas, no red meat, or pork. Your protein serving (fish, poultry, nuts) should be NO BIGGER than the size of the palm of your hand. Your starch should be half that size & your vegetable/fruit should be twice that size. This will shrink your stomach & jump start your weightloss. I guarantee you will lose at least 6 lbs in 2 weeks.
• DRINK WATER. I would recommend drinking nothing but water & 100% juices. Alot of weight gain comes fromt he added sugars that are PACKED into many juice drinks that you see in the stores. Water will flush your system out, clean your urinary tract, & even help promote natural bowel movements. Water works at lukewarm temperatures but drinking ice cold water makes the body burn calories to warm it up so this is recommended.
•  Crystal Light & Wylers flavored drinks that you mix into your bottled water are not good for you either. They're a subtle way of killing you without raising your blood sugar levels. They're filled w/ maltodextrin, dextrose, maltose &  all of these other ingredients from corn which are equivalent to high fructose cornsyrup.
• Watch your salt intake. Salt makes you retain water/water weight which makes you heavier than you really are. Water retention is often times seen in the feet & ankles. It usually causes swelling in those areas & leaves a dent in the skin when you touch it. Water retention is often times a sign of hypertension.

Although diet alone will not suffice for long term weight loss, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for it. Exercising alone will also not suffice, especially if your diet consists of trash & garbage. Exercise & diet by themselves can only do so much. Either way, there are sacrifices. Exercise is essential to promoting cardiovascular health & mainting healthy weight no matter what size you are. Skinny ppl need to exercise too.

These tips are intended to motivate those who have ailments preventing them from exercising, to take the necessary steps to find relief for those ailments through detoxification & healthy eating so that they can begin exercising. This is also for the morbidly obese person who is unable to exercise that he/she will lose enough weight to allow body movement & exercise.

I hope this information is helpful & motivational to those who may fit the profile of any of these examples. Please post comments & testimonials. Blessings!
