My
Two Secrets for Shedding Weight Permanently
By: Peggy Wheeler, M.A.
75%
of Americans are overweight, and an astounding 40 to 50% of
those who are overweight are medically obese. We are, by
far, the fattest nation in the world.
To make things worse, there are over 60 very real
life-threatening diseases attributed to conditions of
overweight. In fact, if you carry as little as 15
excess pounds for any length of time, it's a matter of when
(not if) you will succumb to one of those 60
diseases, including heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's,
stroke, or diabetes.
So what do we do? We diet! Unfortunately, most
diets simply do not work. If you are like me, you have tried
every diet that has come down the pike but you still can't
lose weight, or can't keep it off in the long
run.
I
personally have tried the Atkins Diet, The Protein Power
Diet, The Hollywood Diet, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, The
Grapefruit Diet, The Green Tea Diet, the Metabolite
supplements, the B12/Apple Cider Vinegar pill, The Cabbage
Soup Diet, fasting, meal replacement shakes, Raw Juice Diet,
vegan diet, The Metabolic Research Plan, The Enzymatic Diet,
and I've used or researched many, many others.
With any diet or diet aid, I lose weight initially, but the
second I deviate from the diet, slow down on my exercise
regime, or quit using the latest diet drink, pill, shake or
supplement, all the weight (plus more) returns with a
vengeance.
Of
the more than 3,000 diets and diet products on the market
today (and literally 100s new ones appearing every day) more
than 98% of them fail! Why? The way
you lose weight when you diet is to deprive yourself of
calories, or fat, or sweets, or carbohydrates. In a
nutshell, you starve your body into submission through
deprivation. When you deprive yourself, you can
experience both bio-chemical and psychological repercussions
that result in what is known as "the rebound
effect." This means that after a diet, you may
have lost weight, but you will most likely gain the weight
back quicker than you'd lost it, and then you put on even
more weight on top of what you've regained. If
you are depending on diet aids, especially those with
stimulants, your body responds only while you are using the
aids, and then the rebound effect kicks in again. So
if diets, diet aides, and rigorous exercise do not work,
what alternatives do we have? Well, do I ever have
great news for you!
Believe
it or not, there are two simple secrets to shedding weight
rapidly, and keeping it off, and these two things are
very simple. We all agree that the "common sense trio"
of exercise, sound nutrition, and water are important to any
health and weight loss program, but you don't have to go on
a rigid, austere diet that requires the discipline of a
saint, adhere to an exercise regime that would kill an
Olympic gold medallist, or drink twice your body weight in
water every day. If you want to shed weight, and keep
it off, the number one secret is cleansing your body.
Once you rid yourself of internal toxins, the fat flushes
out of your system. No magic, no mystery, no prolonged
agony, no kidding.
Why
cleanse? Daily we are bombarded by chemicals,
pesticides, toxic by-products, carcinogenic particles, food
additives, dirt, allergens, parasites, heavy metals such as
lead and mercury, radiation, air pollution, and tap water
(which contains over 700 dangerous chemicals, by the
way). The list of toxins our bodies contend with every
moment of every single day is endless. Even if we eat
the cleanest all-vegetarian, all-organic,
never-touch-junk-food, low-calorie diet in the world, we
cannot avoid what is in our air, soil, or underground
aquifers and we can still be overweight!
When
Dr. Tony Escobar, biochemist and master herbalist who has
been a health product developer for over 22 years, speaks
about detoxification, he asks his audience, "What would
happen if you never changed your car's oil, never brushed
your teeth, or never changed the filter on your air
conditioner?" Of course, the answers are
obvious. He follows by asking, "...then why do you
never cleanse your internal organs?". It gives
one reason to pause, doesn't it? If we never
cleanse our colon, kidneys, blood, gallbladder, or liver,
what do we think happens to all the toxins that we
are constantly exposed to? Well, for starters, all
those toxins can remain in our system to clog up our organs
and arteries, which besides leading to serious illness,
contributes in a grand way to weight gain and fat
retention!
The
relationship between cleansing and weight loss is
simple. Your organs, particularly those associated
with filtering, such as your liver and kidneys will always
work to protect you. Let's talk about your liver
specifically. Your liver plays a huge role in
filtering toxins and metabolizing fat. A toxic liver
cannot function as it was designed to. If has to
contend with chemicals and pesticides, but needs to
metabolize fat at the same time, the stressed liver cannot
always handle both. This marvelous organ will
automatically filter toxins first to ensure that they do not
find their way into your brain or heart where they might
kill you.
If
your liver could talk (don't laugh - when I eat poorly or
drink too much wine, I swear, in its own way my liver does
talk to me about it!) it would say something like
this: "Okay, I have this load of toxins to filter, and
I have some dietary fat to metabolize. Since I'm clogged and
can't perform efficiently, I have to make a
choice. To save the life of my body, I will
neutralize the toxins and I'll just dump this blubber
directly into the abdominal wall and hold it there."
Kidneys, bowels, skin, blood, and gallbladder have to make
similar decisions constantly, and believe me, in every
instance, if your organs are too toxic to perform all
their functions, they will chose to preserve your life over
keeping you slim. If you never cleanse your system,
your clogged organs will continue to deposit dietary fat
into other areas of your body rather than processing it and
flushing it out. If you cleanse your system, your organs
will function optimally and can efficiently handle
both toxins and fat. Plain and
simple.
Incidentally,
did you know that fat itself plays an important role in
protecting your body? To keep heavy metals and
chemicals away from your vital organs, fat cells enrobe the
toxins to keep them at bay. If you detoxify your
system, the fat has no reason to remain, so the fat flushes
itself out of your body. Again, plain and
simple.
But,
detoxification is only the first step to fast, long-term
weight loss. There is another critical piece to
shedding weight and keeping it off. Feed your
body. While you detox, it's also important that you
use great nutrition to simultaneously support your
organs. If Secret Number One to long-term weight
loss is detoxification, then Secret Number Two is great
nutrition. The word "Diet" has within it the word
"Die" because if you are on a diet, you are not cleansing
your system of toxins or receiving the nutrition you need to
thrive. And, without proper cleansing and nutritional
support, you are simply killing yourself.
How
does one detoxify and feed the system? You can seek
the services of a qualified nutritionist, an herbalist, a
detoxification specialist, a naturopathic physician, or a
colon therapist. But, I know a better
way.
Imagine
a marvelous technology that thoroughly and naturally
detoxifies all of your organs, and also feeds and supports
the body with incredible, pure, bio-available
nutrients. What if that technology also allows you to
shed a lot of weight quickly without the rebound
effect? Well there is such a technology, and it
works! It's called Isagenix. The ancillary
benefit (or "side effect") of Isagenix is weight loss,
meaning that it's not a "diet" or "weight loss"
program. The reason you shed pounds with Isagenix is
because your organs are cleansed and supported so that they
work the way they are supposed to. The Isagenix
technology feeds your endocrine system, especially your
adrenals, and cleanses your body so that it can efficiently
handle dietary fats, process toxins, and get rid of colon
plaque, chemicals, candida and parasites. When that
happens, you lose weight, lots of weight, quickly and
safely. And because Isagenix also contains over 240
vital all-natural nutrients, 70 organic plant-based ionic
minerals, all the live enzymes your body needs, powerful
probiotics, and the purest, low-lactose whey protein
available, and because Isagenix does its job without
employing dangerous stimulants, artificial flavors, chemical
colors, or artificial sweeteners, you quickly become
healthy. A person who is healthy cannot be
overweight.
I
refuse to make medical claims, but I can tell you that more
and more testimonies are rolling in from all over the
country from people who are using Isagenix (and I mean
real verifiable testimonies, not bogus-made-up hype)
that with their physician's consent, are getting off their
blood-pressure medication, insulin (if they are type-2
diabetics), anti-depressants, cholesterol medications, sleep
apnea machines, and hormone replacement therapies.
Many people who are on Isagenix are reporting great
increases in their energy, less arthritic pain, eradicated
or greatly lessened symptoms related to fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue, increase in mental clarity and cognitive
abilities, and better sleep. Is Isagenix a
"miracle"? No, of course not, but since Isagenix does
detoxify the body and feed the body's systems the right way,
people are becoming healthy. The miracle is in your
own body's ability to quickly respond to the cleansing and
great nutritional support that Isagenix provides. And,
here is the best part -- 90% of all overweight people who
use Isagenix consistently, and as directed, get rid of
weight, a lot of weight, without the rebound
effect. What a precious and wonderful technology
that Isagenix offers to us!
My
own story is that after 11 years of battling a serious
overweight condition (plus fatigue, brain fog related to
candida, a hormonal imbalance that threw me into premature
menopause, arthritis pain, and breast cysts) after less than
10 weeks of using Isagenix, I not only lost 36 lbs and 42
inches and I've kept it off for over 6 months, this is what
else happened to me:
No more fatigue. Plus, when I sleep, it's sound and
restful. I no longer wake up at 2 or 3 every
morning.
No more pre-menopausal hot flashes, night sweats, mood
swings, or hormone headaches. After almost 2 years, my
periods have returned consistently without cramping or
tension (which I'd had all my life.) I'm no longer
using my herbal and homeopathic hormone therapies at
all. I simply don't need them.
No more breast cysts. I'd suffered with them for many
years.
No more signs of candida, and no more brain fog related to
candida.
No more arthritis pain at all.
No more heartburn or digestive issues.
On
top of all that, people tell me that I look years
younger. My complexion has improved, and some of my
fine lines and wrinkles have all but disappeared. At
last, I know what it is to feel and look good. I have
my life back! I want to help you get your life
back, too.
Isagenix
works. It's even effective for people who think they
cannot lose weight. It worked for
me! For more information on the incredible
