Following are twenty six ways for natural weight loss and to lose weight easily.
1. Consume foods in the natural state when possible. This includes raw, fresh fruits
and vegetables (lots of leafy green salads). Raw and non-processed
foods are prime sources of natural enzymes needed to stimulate the
body�s endocrine glands. Fruits and vegetables are also a natural source
of fiber which helps lose weight
2. Food programs should emphasize high protein
content obtainable from a variety of meat, dairy products, eggs,
cottage cheese, nuts, legumes, and yogurt. It�s advantageous to minimize
the amount of fat with the protein. A basic rule of thumb as far as
meats are concerned -- if it swims, i.e., fish, its is better than if it
flies, i.e., poultry, it is better than if it walks, such as beef or
pork.
3. When possible, use foods grown or
raised without poisonous chemical sprays or food additives. Wash fruit
thoroughly before eating. Enzymes from natural fruit help lose weight.
4. Steam
vegetables or cook with a minimum amount of water and for as short a
time as possible to minimize destruction of vitamins.. Use that water
for soups, broths... to lose weight.
5. Eliminate
or minimize the use of refined sugar such as corn syrup, dextrose,
sucrose, fructose, brown sugar, 10X sugar. Substitute natural sweets
such as unprocessed honey, in moderation, or rose hips powder carob
powder, blackstrap molasses, date powder. Refined sugar affects the
body�s metabolism and over taxes the pancreas, and often results in a
hypoglycemia reaction. Use stevia as a natural substitute for sugar (for
baking purposes, one teaspoon stevia is equivalent to one cup of
sugar--very healthy way to lose weight). Stay away from Nutrisweet or aspartame. At 92 degrees F it breaks down into formaldehyde.
6. Eliminate
the use of bleached white flour products. The valuable nutrients of the
whole grain have been removed. Frequently, bleaching and preservative
agents are also added that create disharmony with the body. The chemical
processing strips as much as 80% of the zinc, magnesium, Vitamin A, and
50% of the manganese, just to name a few. Whole grain cereals and
flours are an excellent source of protein as well as B complex vitamins,
Vitamin B and unsaturated fatty acids and are also important to keep
your colon healthy.
7. Avoid prepackaged
breads, pastries, ice cream, cold or prepared cured meats. These foods
are saturated with preservatives, artificial colorings, chemical
flavoring agents, synthetic emulsifiers, extenders, stabilizers, and so
on. Typical ones you'll find are MSG - monosodium glutamate, nitrates,
and nitrates, BVO (brominated vegetable oil, EDTA (ethylenediamine
tetraacetid acid), Thiourea in dry or frozen fruit, artificial
colorings, citrus red No2, Violet No 1, red No. 40, Orange B, Red #3,
Blue #1, Yellow #5, and flavorings, (see #26)
8. Minimize
fat intake and avoid trans saturated fats You�ll find these in anything
that says, �hydrogenated,� or �partially hydrogenated.�
All
margarine and cooking oils, i.e., peanut oil, palm oil, and animal
fats are high in saturated fats which interfere with the production of
prostaglandin. In the absence of prostaglandin, fats adhere to one
another and create plaque buildup in the arteries. Use sweet butter and
polyunsaturated oils such as rice bran oil and cold pressed safflower
oil. To remove particles from the oil before bottling, manufacturers
usually heat the oil so its easier to filter, unfortunately, this alone
destroys the nature of the oil. �Cold pressed,� means that the oil was
filtered at room temperature. Avoid reusing oil, store it in the
refrigerator and break open a vitamin E capsule to add to it every two
weeks. Treat it as you would treat your arteries.
9. Avoid
the use of carbonated soda and drinks containing caffeine, such as
coffee, tea and coke. Instead, where possible consume fresh fruit
juices, water and decaffeinated herbal teas.
10. During
times of the year when fresh vegetables are not available, frozen
vegetables are your next best choice as they are frozen with liquid
nitrogen and retain much of the nutrients. Avoid canned vegetables and
fruits, for they usually are either overcooked or prepared in sugar or
fructose solution.
11. Minimize the use of
normal table salt, such as sodium chloride. Use Morton�s salt substitute
(high in potassium) or onion, chive, garlic mushroom lemon and lie for
useful salt substitutes.
12. Avoid fast foods
as they have salt and additives. Eliminate use of carbonated beverages,
club soda or seltzer. They rob your body of calcium. Your calcium
balance is required for natural weight loss.
13. Prepare
moderate quantities of food to minimize leftovers for three reasons: A.
Leftovers are tempting to finish so they won�t be left over. B.
Leftovers, when reheated, lose most of their nutrient value. C.
Leftovers are oxidized and interfere with normal functioning that
interferes with weight loss.
14. Use unsalted
butter as opposed to margarine and where possible minimize the use of
butter. Instead season food with herbs and spices and lose weight
naturally.
15. Pan broil meats in a non-stick skillet without fat. Use Pam.
16. Use canned fish packed in water.
17. Replace half the oil in salad dressing with broth or water.
18. Use yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream.
19. Thicken soups and sauces with pureed vegetables instead of flour or cornstarch.
20. Use bouillon instead of gravy on meats and casseroles.
21. Avoid using aluminum cookware as aluminum may be toxic to the human body. (not proven yet)
22. Vitamins and herbs could make a difference. A well balanced multi-vitamin in a rice bran base such as the Complete
Nutritional System by Rainbow Light. An effective calcium and mineral
supplement such as Xooma Coral Calcium distributed by HTN can keep your
body healthy and save you the problems of any of 150 different diseases
that are a result of calcium deficiency. Most supplements on the market
are equivalent to licking a chalk board and leave one deficient in
calcium.
23. Eat fruits and drink fruit juice either � hour before or � hour after meals to allow proper digestion of protein.
24. Microwave ovens are great for making hot water, but questionable for cooking.
25. The
nutritional value of dairy products, i.e., milk, cheese and butter are
questionable. If you do include them, it�s recommended that you use skim
milk and nonprocessed cheeses to aid in losing weight naturally.
26. Ice
cream -- Soy cream with fruit juice is recommended. Otherwise, except
your own homemade ice cream, you�ll find gobs of sugar not to mention
the real goodies such as #1. deithyl glucol (used instead of eggs), #2.
peperonal (used instead of vanilla), #3. aldehyde 17 (cherry flavor),
#4. ethyl acetate, (pineapple flavor), #5. butyr aldehyde (nut flavor),
#6. amyl acetate (banana flavor), and #7. benzyl acetate (strawberry).
Other uses of these chemicals are #1. antifreeeze and paint thinner, #2.
kills lice, #3. dye for plastics and lumber, #4. leather cleaner,
#5. ingredient in rubber cement, #6. oil paint solvent, #7. nitrate
solvent. Read the labels. Use stevia to make your own ice cream.

Since items # 21 and 24 are more for health than losing weight, this
item is worth both of them--
EXERCISE. Moderate exercise such as
rebounding three times daily for three minutes or brisk walking 20 minutes per day.
