How
Juice Fasting Helps You To Lose Weight
Staying on a diet
Trying to stay on a diet can turn a
simple journey to the supermarket into an epic challenge of
self-discipline. How can you ignore all the florescent-lit aisles of
junk food offering every temptation known to the tongue when you are
hungry depressed and feeling deprived? It becomes a war of desires
where your willingness to surrender is quickly rewarded.
Obsession with weight loss
In a culture that esteems fashion-model thinness as perfect beauty, fat
is the ugly disease that must be cured. This creates an obsession with
weight-loss that increases the difficulty in losing weight. It is like
trying not to think of a white horse. The more you try not to think of
it the more it comes back into your thoughts.
Obsession, slow metabolism and high-calorie food are a
deadly combination for weight gain. The worst offenders
of weight gain are starches, fats, and refined sugars.
Since the biggest part of our diet is starch in the form
of breakfast cereal, cookies, cakes, pies, chips and
bread, it has the greatest impact on weight gain.
Starches are worse than sugar. For a short amount of
time, the blood sugar will peak allowing the body to
store the excess sugar as body fat. Starch is different
in that it is a slow release of sugar, which is perfect
for long-distance runners, however, if you are inactive,
the slow-releasing sugars will be turned into body fat.
Excess calories equate to excess fat.
Fat is stored calories for periods of starvation but the
only time that occurred in this century was the Great
Depression where people worked long hours on small
amounts of food. Now we have the opposite. Most people
eat too much and with little physical activity. It takes
about 30 seconds to eat 150 calories of cookies but an
hour of jogging to burn it off. Getting stuffed at an
all-you-can-eat buffet can fill the stomach with 4,000
calories. To burn off that many calories would require
27 hours of jogging. Instead, we spend much of the day
sitting in front of a computer, TV or driving. The end
result is inevitable …weight gain.
Fasting is effective for weight loss
You can see the
pounds melt away on a daily basis. You don’t even feel
hungry. But, do you lose weight, your health is improved
and the skin regains is natural elasticity resulting in
a youthful tone and more energy. You can’t get a better
weight loss program than that.
