A weight loss cleanse can be easier to follow than a diet which can be time consuming. In addition, cleansing will help you clear built up toxins that can be stored in fatty areas and when done right, may help you reset your metabolism. As you cleanse, you can find out what foods make you feel tired and sick and what foods keep your energy up.

Following a weight loss cleanse can be easy when you keep things simple. Don’t waste time counting calories or analyzing sodium grams. By incorporating some simple steps you will no longer have to live by labels. You can also learn how eating healthy will give you the energy and metabolism needed to keep the weight off once and for all.

Step 1 – Stop eating junk food. Everyone knows what they are; sodas, chips, french fries, fat foods (oops, I mean fast foods), ice cream and so on. These highly processed junk foods not only add weight, but they can stop your body from losing any weight! Junk foods are loaded with chemicals such as preservatives that can get stored in fatty tissues causing you to look fatter. On top of this, they can interfere with your thyroid function.

Step 2 – Avoid any processed foods. These include packaged or pre-made foods that are supposed to save time in the kitchen. Give yourself a reality check and see if this is true. One example is, you can spend 1/2 hour chopping up a head of lettuce and some veggies and keep them in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, you simply reach in and grab a handful. This is quicker than opening and heating up a can of pre-made soup. If you really do want a food like this, find the equivalent of it at your local health food store. Look at the ingredients and be sure there are not too many listed – the more ingredients a food has, the more processed and unhealthy it is. Your weight loss cleanse will be more effective without them.

Step 3 – Make the bulk of your meals fresh and whole. Eat mostly fruits and veggies. After that eat protein the size of your palm and 1/2 a serving of grains such as wild rice. Put the food on your plate and make sure 1/2 to 3/4 of the plate is filled with vegetables. None of these foods will have labels because they are whole, natural foods. If you use sauces to cook with, keep them to a minimum and try to find organic if possible. Drink only water and herbal teas.

Step 4 – Take fiber twice a day. Use a supplement such as crushed flax seeds or psyllium. These types of fiber can help absorb toxins from your intestinal tract and add bulk to help remove more waste. Taking fiber 10-15 minutes before your meals can help you feel fuller, sooner.

Step 5 – During your weight loss cleanse, supplement your nutrition by adding whole food supplements to your daily regimen. This should include a whole food vitamin so you are sure to get all your vitamins and minerals. Using a product that is made from “whole foods” as opposed to the synthetic version will ensure your body uses most of the nutrients without causing toxic side-effects. Also take EFA’s or Essential Fatty Acids. This supplement supplies oils that your body needs to keep joints mobile, skin and hair healthy, balance your hormones, are necessary for proper brain function for healthy moods – and they help you lose weight!

Step 6 – Daily exercise using circuit training can help burn more fat, more calories and make your exercise more effective. Exercising is known to stimulate metabolism, stimulate circulation, clear toxins, elevate mood and help you eliminate excess waste and shed weight.

Circuit train at home by using resistance exercise alternating with aerobic exercise. You don’t even need to buy special equipment if you don’t want to. First, put on music to help you get pumped up. Then choose about six resistance exercise like push-ups, lunges, or jump squats. Keep a goal of doing three sets for each exercise of 9-15 reps each. Start by doing one set of resistance exercise followed by one minute of cardio such as running in place, exercise bike if you have one, jumping jacks or rebounding. Then do another set of resistance followed by another set of cardio (aerobics) and so on until you have done 30-40 minutes of exercise.

Write out these six steps and post them where you will read them every day. Don’t eat in restaurants for now and instead, collect recipes for whole foods. You can find many free ones on the net! Use a weight loss cleanse so you can be summer-ready with a healthier body and mind.
