Losing Weight Can Be An Easy Thing

By: Pam Smith

Maybe this is a authoritarian statement but I think dropping pounds can be easy. In my humble opinion, the most important issue with folks trying to lose pounds is that they are eating the wrong food. Maybe that sounds clear, and if you agree, wouldn't the simple solution be to begin eating the right foods?
I'm guessing that people today simply do not know what the proper foods are due to all of the mixed signals and disinformation.
Another barrier, besides a lack of knowledge is the issue with food dependency and obsessions.
If I were to outline a diet schedule and advised that it had everything your body needs to be healthy and further said that you would only need to do it for 3-4 weeks to get results, almost everyone would balk at the idea and probably not do it.
What's fascinating to me though is that those same men and women would go on a prohibited diet just long enough to qualify for the weight management surgery. You know, the one where they cut part of your tummy out so you can't eat as much food? Outrageous!
Seriously though, I feel that people are spreading lies when they suggest you require animal flesh in your diet. I feel wholeheartedly that people can, and should, have a diet comprised often of fruits and veggies. Fruits and vegetables contain fat, protein, calcium and all of the other nutrient elements that folk seem to think aren't present in them.
OK, presume for a second you believe me and the numerous other people that suggest fruits and veggies contain everything you require to survive and flourish and you are actually prepared to give it a go. Now what? What about the convenience factor of fast food? And, who really wants to eat several salads and stir fries? Well, I've got a easy solution for you.
I'm going to describe a diet that I recommend anyone should at least try, after confirming with a naturopath doctor, for 2-4 weeks. Before starting, get some blood work done. Test your vitamin levels ( B12, D, etc ). Check your minerals ( calcium, etc ). Check your cholesterol and anything else that's on the blood work form that contributes to health. Then you may have hard numbers to compare against, besides your weight, after the diet is over. Make sense?
Ready? Get a blender. Get some of your favourite fruits, ideally organic. Get plenty of them including bananas, berries, mangoes, papaya, and so on. Now get some greens, again, preferably organic. Get some kale, baby spinach, dandelion, parsley, dill, anything green and leafy. Get some avocados. Get some 100% juice in a carton for simplicity sake. Now, anytime you feel hungry, mix 70-80% fruit in a blender with the rest greens. Just use one sort of green at a time and keep rotating them. Oh, and add some juice or water in there so it blends easier. Blend until smooth and drink. Tastes fantastic and is void of all the crap you normally eat and is also full of digestive enzymes because it has not been heated. Skip the supplements too, this has everything. Eat an avocado every day or 2 for healthy fats.
The greens mixed with the fruit will make the whole drink low glycemic, particularly if you use berries. Also, you will be very well hydrated without the requirement for plain water. Do not believe me? Take a look at your pee. And you'll have the best of what the earth has to supply being simply digested into your body.
You may detoxify as your body rids itself of the gunk from your past and you begin to cure. You can see a large amount of weirdness in your stool and it might be green in colour. Don't be alarmed. You are healing and losing pounds. And it will be green of course from the greens you are eating. You could lose more than you would like to initially but your body will bounce back to your ideal weight as you go on. Best of luck to you.
