 The 21-Day Purification Program and Weight Loss

How Toxins Prevent You From Losing Weight

We are all exposed to many toxic chemicals and substances on a daily basis, and the reality is there is no way to avoid these toxins completely.  They are in the air, food, soil and water.  The body is designed to recognize these foreign substances and eliminate them, but sometimes your body can become overwhelmed and not be able to remove these toxins quickly enough.  Then they start building up in your system.  The body does not want to keep these chemicals and toxins in circulation where they can potentially do more harm, so your body will try to minimize the damage to your cells by depositing them into various tissues.

One of the most common tissues we store toxins into is our body fat.  In fact, all mammals on the planet (yes . . . humans are mammals) will store a larger majority of our toxins away in our fat tissue where they will hopefully do less harm.  This also means that if you are eating the fat of animals, instead of trimming off the fat before you eat it, you are likely eating some the chemicals and toxins that animal was exposed to as well.

So how does this influence your ability to lose weight?  Basically, when you lose weight (or more specifically body fat) these toxins can get dumped back into circulation and will hopefully be removed forever.  If your body is not yet ready to deal with the removal of these toxins, you will essentially hold onto your body fat until your body has the right resources to manage the increase of toxins circulating in your system.  If your body never receives the right resources to get rid of these toxins that are stored in your body fat, you may end up holding onto this extra fat for years and decades!  This is a big issue with many people . . . especially people who have that stubborn body fat that is difficult to get rid of even though they’ve made multiple attempts to do so in the past.

How To Improve Your Odds of Success in Losing Weight Permanently

Since this is a real problem for so many people, it only makes sense that incorporating some type of detoxification into your weight loss program will give you better results.  In fact, there are many nutrition and natural healthcare experts that agree on the fact that ANYONE who is focusing on weight loss needs to be supporting their body’s ability to detoxify.  Not doing this may harm your body in other ways as you lose weight.  If the body fat decreases and the toxins remain in your body, these toxins will likely get stored into other tissues and injure your cells in other areas - even negatively affecting the functioning of various organ systems.  Also, the more damage that occurs to your cells the more quickly these cells will age . . . meaning the more quickly your entire body will age.  So the effects are not just short-term.  The impact can also be measured in your long-term health and how good you feel and look as you age.

Overweight and obesity has reached epidemic levels in our society, and there are of course other important factors besides toxins that can increase body weight such as:  poor diet, lack of exercise, eating too much sugar and carbohydrates, too much stress and so on.  There is one method of addressing most of these factors combined into a single highly effective weight loss and detoxifying approach called the 21-Day Purification Program.

The Basics of the 21-Day Purification Program

The easiest way to understand this program is 3 weeks of eating much healthier food and taking a few nutritional products to support your body’s ability to detoxify effectively.  I see many people trying to slowly and gradually transition to eating healthier foods, but this can result in increased frustration as weight loss results become slower as well.  Many people I talk with need to see some quicker results in their weight loss within the first 2-4 weeks in order to stay motivated and continue losing weight.  The reality is that if you are working hard to eat better and you are not seeing results within a few weeks, you are probably going to lose your motivation and fall back into the old eating habits that got you into trouble in the first place. 

The 21-Day Purification Program requires you to be a little more strict in cutting out all the unhealthy processed foods and eating healthier real foods for a few weeks, and then it’s much easier to continue on a new pattern of eating healthier foods beyond these three weeks even though you may not be as strict.  It’s a program that focuses on eating the right foods as you support your body’s ability to detoxify. 

Weight loss is only one of the many benefits people will see on this program.  Other benefits include:  more energy, better quality sleep, healthier skin, and eliminating their sugar or carbohydrate cravings that cause them to eat more often.  As we get closer to spring many people begin to think about effective ways to lose their extra weight before fitting into their summer clothes, and the 21-Day Purification Program is a highly effective approach to begin losing your weight more quickly but in a safe and controlled manner and have an easier time keeping the weight off.  This program also works great for those people who have been involved in losing weight for a while, but have reached a plateau in their progress and are looking for a way to get past their plateau and get back on track to losing weight again.
