 A Healthy Approach to Detox Dieting...KEYWORDS: detox dieting body clensing diet modified fast detox by fasting is fasting safe detox program
AUTHOR: Lynn Grieger, RD, CDE
Do we need to cleanse and detoxify our bodies on a regular basis for optimum health? Cleansing herbal teas, laxatives, juice fasts and colonic irrigation are popular.
Proponents of fasting insist that environmental toxins and food additives build up in our bodies over time and must be removed periodically through fasting and detoxification procedures. Others state that fasting merely deprives the body of energy and vital nutrients and is detrimental to your health. Who's right?

How to get started adopting a low fat lifestyle..KEYWORDS: low fat diet low fat foods diets
So how exactly do we go about changing our wicked ways with eating? It’s not about fad diets and excluding whole food groups, that’s for sure. Yet what about those nasty carbs we’ve been hearing about? Well, this is — quite literally — a complex issue. Refined sugars are a no-no but complex carbohydrates, like those found in whole-grain pastas, rice and breads, are an important component of a healthy diet.

Ketones are the “leftovers” eliminated from the body when it uses stored fat for fuel. Ketosis is the state where the body is burning fat instead of glucose.
Since the goal of any weight loss diet is to reduce fat levels, it is a “good thing” to burn fat.

If you would like to eat more than 5 times a day, you certainly may, but remember to eat only what the plan allows - 3 fruits, 1 large salad, plenty of vegetables, 3 JumpStart Shakes, and unlimited sugar free gelatin.
Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes. Brisk walking is one of the best exercises and can easily fit into your schedule.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to help you feel satisfied and refreshed.
Weigh yourself every morning.
If you normally experience monthly water weight gain, wait a few days after you cycle before starting this diet for best results.
Those vanilla shakes are pretty good...especially if you add ice cream to them...

Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) gives you the freedom to take control of your head and your body. This self-knowledge is the key to becoming a formerly fat person.
Imagine getting in the car to go on a family vacation without a clear idea of where you wanted to go. You'd drive around aimlessly, and you would certainly get somewhere, but it probably wouldn't be the same place you'd end up if you'd chosen a destination at the start. It's the same thing with weight loss.
Here are some tricks to get your head looking in the right direction. Do that and your body will follow.

Once you know which carbs impact on your blood sugar and which do not, you can eat more of foods that give you a "free ride."
Carbohydrate is a major category of food, including all the fruits, vegetables, grains and starches. If you choose to adhere to the Atkins Nutritional Approach™ for a lifetime, you must bring some exacting standards to the process of deciding what carbohydrate foods you intend to eat. That way you can fashion a great way to eat long term—not simply a weight-loss regimen.
