 Safe Weight Loss With so many quick-fix diet and fads offered to us by
the mass media promising to be the next best thing to bring about an effective
and safe weight loss, it is no wonder the public is left confused as to which
one to choose. Sadly, this permits for exploitation from the many marketers and
charlatans out to make a fast buck on the expense of the vulnerable. Even the so called natural approaches for safe weight
loss solutions are unrealistic, impractical and often pricey or are just the
same one-dimensional gimmick cures disguised as holistic solutions. This leads one to conclude that we must go back to the
basics when eating not only for weight loss but for better health. Therefore,
the recommended staples of your diet should be your fruits and vegetables. These substances constitute the Mucus-Less Diet
otherwise known as the ‘Alkaline’; Disease Healing or Gen 1:29 diet. It provides you with all the necessary nutrients such
as Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, vitamins and minerals needed for weight loss,
improved health and overall fitness and in conjunction with proper exercise
will be more than unmatched in helping you achieve these goals. So let’s go over the items that should constitute one’s
diet when eating for health and a safe weight loss. Safe Weight Loss Diet: Items for Consumption (A-C) A sub-acid or sweet fruit depending on its taste, it is
an excellent source of the B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, potassium and soluble
fiber to aid as an excellent intestinal broom and mucus absorber. Its origin is
in the temperate regions of our earth and is at its peak during the fall and
winter seasons. A natural aphrodisiac and an excellent source of
vitamins A, D E and K, fats and a plethora of other minerals, this nutty
tasting fruit vegetable is a must have for the health seeker. As great as it is
a fruit, it should be eating in moderation say 1-2 maximum a day depending on
your constitution, age and level of physical activity. In
Season year round. This should be a staple in any health seekers diet
considering its year round availability and durability. It's been hailed as
having everything the human body needs and containing the 8 essential amino
acids that the body cannot produce on its own. Of course it is the favorite of
active kids. Berries are high in minerals and vitamins and they
taste great. They are, like the apples, of temperate origins. Bears have been
said to eat massive amounts of berries and obviously gain tons of strength and
‘healthy’ weight from them. Berries, being of the acid-fruit category should be
eaten in the earlier parts of the day. Eat this vegetable raw, discarding of its outer leaves
as well. Though it is not a dark green vegetable it still stands its own as an
excellent source of vitamins A, C and E with the essential amino acids
included. Anybody ever heard of cold-slaw? Wrongly described as a lower vegetable void of
nutrients, this salty and nutritious food is actually the "powerhouse of
life-giving nutrition!” It combines with anything first of all and increases
magnetism to the opposite sex for some strange reason. It is very alkaline
forming and helps to relieve muscle cramping and fatigue. Wild, it is the
favorite food of our cousin the Gorilla. Tangerines are excellent and rank quite high as mucus
absorbing fruits-even higher than the lemon. As with all acid fruits they are
best eaten in the mornings or early afternoons. These are available in Asian markets or your nearest
health food store. They are good sources of grounding fats and proteins and are
quite tasty in smoothies. For a light supper, try 1-3 followed by Celery/lettuce,
or blend with tomatoes and a little bit of salt and see Ranch French dressing
beg to be excused. Okay that’s A-C of what should constitute a natural
diet for a safe weight loss regimen Needless to say some form of exercise will be needed,
you may choose to read on my article on “Yoga for Weight Loss: What you need
know to succeed” to see why I suggest Yoga along with these obviously natural
food items, but of course whatever form of exercise suits your taste or needs
will suffice. Let’s add, working with your own body weight may be the
best choice and you could at least borrow the warm up routine of yoga known as
the sun salutations (it’ll only take you 5-10 minutes-if that-but here’s
something to consider, Indian wrestlers and martial artists perform these
exercises in dozens…need more be said?) Listed below is a list of other common items that
should form the basis of a proper diet for a safe weight-loss regimen. Combined
with proper exercise and mental attunements, these substances will make the
drugless foundation for a quick and safe weight loss, naturally and without the
dangerous and unnecessary side-effects of modern day concoctions and diet fads. Moreover, you will experience improved health, delayed
aging, increased flexibility, clearer skin, brighter eyes and mental sharpness
to name a few of its many benefits. These are the rest of the foods for a healthy diet when
aiming for a safe weight loss as suggested in the first part of this article. Safe Weight Loss Diet: Items for Consumption (D-T) NATURAL CANDY! They are loaded with tons of nutrients
unlike their artificial counterfeits: candies in the store, but like them have
to be eaten in moderation say 4-5 in the spring and summer times and 5-15
(medium sized ones) fall and winter times. Try to eat dates 12 minutes or so after a mono meal of
a sweet fruit say bananas or mangoes and 10 minutes before a stalk of Celery or
lettuce. Barhi or honey dates are my personal
favorites. According to Dr. Arnold Ehret they are
excellent mucus absorbers as well. They are great sources of quick energy and
surprisingly, proteins. When in season, these one of a kind fruits are
powerfully cleansing and rank very high as detoxifying and body building
elements. Buy them only in season (summer times) it’s the favorite of African
Chimpanzees. They are great sources of powerful antioxidants. Ensure
to eat them organically and in season only (summer). Also try to get the seeded
ones. They are one of the best foods to break a fast with. Dried, they make
your raisins. This is about the only non-sweet fruit that is included
in the diet. It has ascorbic properties and when squeezed fresh in warm water
first thing in the morning can be unrivaled in beating constipation and
alleviating overall lethargy. It is one of the most alkaline forming foods in
spite of its acidic taste and it's available year round. Even plain, it has an excellent taste. It is highly
perishable though and thus needs to be consumed soon after purchase. It is the
basis of many a salad and is a great body building food. Mountain gorillas of
the Plateau regions of Nigeria and Cameroon subsists primarily on leaves and
look at how big and strong they are (of course that's all they have access to
in their habitats and they are much less active than the lowland gorillas of
the south of these two African countries who eat mostly sweet fruits and a few
leaves) Native to the First Americans, this food is a balanced
form of positive and negative sugars. There are three grades of maple syrup A,
B and C. The recommended grade is B. It contains sodium, potassium, calcium,
magnesium, manganese, iron, copper and silicon. Some uninformed operators of
the sugaring of maple syrup do use formaldehyde pellets ran through polyethene tubing so ensure to use only organic maple
syrup. As great as this fruit is, eat it in moderation and, if
you can, eat only organically grown and only in season. 4-5 should fill the
average person up, but if they are too tempting it doesn't hurt to enjoy. As a rule Eat melons alone or leave alone. They are one
of the fruits that leave the stomach almost as soon as they are ingested and
thus should not be combined with other foods, if you must, wait 20 minutes or
so and eat Celery or Lettuce. Summer time is when they peak and a human can
subsist on them for days on end. Ensure to get them ripe and enjoy as you
desire. Like its close relative, peaches, these stone fruits
are excellent in the summer times when they are available and a mono meal of
them for a restricted diet can be a camouflaged fast. A viable winter fruit.
It is a sub acid fruit like the apple and is of course loaded with vitamins and
minerals. Ensure to eat this fruit only when fully ripe. Look for varieties ripened on the leaves. Being an
acidic fruit, ensure to consume them in the earlier part of the day. At times known as the potatoes of the air, the
varieties grown in Ecuador or the tropical countries are great. They form the
staple of many so-called third world countries and can be enjoyed alone or with
some plain raw leaves of parsley, lettuce or celery. Some authors have attacked potatoes as being unsuitable
for human consumption. Though not the best food, nothing could be further from
the truth though. Boiled and mashed with avocadoes and a dash of sea salt after
eating some celery, they are a welcome balance to even excessive sweet fruits
and are very nourishing as well. They are also easy to digest and are better
than even some so-called raw recipes. They of course are available year round. Like the potato, it is a member of the nightshade
family but unlike it, the tomato is a fruit botanically. Blended with Young
Coconuts or Avocadoes, they are excellent for dressing. They are an acidic
fruit thus should be eaten in moderation due to their high content of oxalic
acids, 2 -3 should suffice and even then every other day. As a rule ensure that all of the above (save for maybe
mangoes and avocadoes) are grown organically only. Better health and a safe weight loss need not be things
you have to pay an extreme amount of money for. You really don’t need any
special recipes, worthless and hazardous substances when trying to lose weight.
By simply consuming the divinely ordained foods listed above and of course
living an active lifestyle, you will be well on your way to a healthy,
effective and safe weight loss that your body will appreciate for years to
come. Copyright ®2005-2009 eNewsletterSolutions.com. All rights reserved
