The Best Home Remedies for Weight Loss

People have been searching for the best home remedies for weight loss for many millennia. millions of people have spent billions of dollars, tried zillions of over the counter remedies, yet in spite of it all, we still have an obesity epidemic in America. In fact, we have more overweight individuals than ever before in our history.

But before I share those words with you, let me tell you a little about how I came to be a healer. It all started with my personal quest to find the best home remedies for weight loss. I was in my thirties and gaining weight, even though I was working out several times a week as a martial artist.

I went into a health food store, not because I was interested in health food, but because I was looking for low calorie meat substitutes as well as home remedies for weight loss and information on the best way to lose weight. At that time, I was still counting calories. It wasn't until later that I learned that calories are irrelevant. Yes, I said irrelevant. More on this later.

Lo and behold! Not only had I found the best home remedies for weight loss, I started to feel very different. My energy level shot up. My bowels became really regular. My skin started to glow. My spirits were uplifted. I started to feel like a racehorse at the starting gate. This was nothing less than an actual transformation for which I am still eternally grateful.

I have kept it off, not by struggling and sacrificing and denying myself, not by trying different conventional and home remedies for weight loss, but by implementing the best home remedies for weight loss: eating whole foods, fresh fruits and vegetables and drinking my protein rich health and energy drink (PowerUp).

Yes, it does require effort to shop for and prepare healthy foods, or when eating out, to order healthy foods, but it's by far the best way to lose weight and the results are so powerful that it's well worth the effort. And today, with close to two hundred Whole Foods stores and hundreds of independent health food stores nationwide, it's a lot less difficult than it was thirty years ago.

So here's the three word answer to your weight loss issues:

I'm sorry, but no matter how many home remedies for weight loss you take, eating whole foods is the best way to lose weight and it's the only way you will ever lose it and keep it off. It is simply not possible to eat supermarket food, denatured food, fast food and junk food, then take a few home remedies for weight loss, and think that you will lose weight or maintain proper weight. Yes, there are people that seem to be exceptions to this rule, but it's the exception to the rule that proves it. And make no mistake, fake foods will eventually take their toll on everyone, thin or not.

Forget calories. For the best way to lose weight, remember this: The issue isn't calories. Here are the issues: is it real? Is it whole? Does it contain nutrients? Is the body designed to digest it? Is it brown rice or white rice? Is it whole wheat flour or white flour? Is it honey or white sugar?

One of my biggest detractors when I was conducting my AIDS project was the local AIDS dietitian. She actually told HIV positive people not to drink water. How crazy was that?

Pure water is an absolute prerequisite for health and the people who needed it most were not getting it. Her reason? No calories in water.

Apparently, she failed to see the irony of the fact that even though she was pumping many thousands of calories into AIDS victims, they were still wasting away and dying. Of course the minute they started to eat whole foods and drink health drinks, the wasting would stop.

It does not nourish you, it's addictive and it forces you to overeat because your body is craving the nutrients that are lacking in that fake food and it will MAKE you eat, even when you're not hungry.Getting away from denatured, fake food is the best way to lose weight. In fact, not only is it the best way, it's the only way you'll ever lose it and keep it off.

For example, I used to be addicted to Thomas's english muffins. I could eat a whole pack (6) at one tine, no problem. Well, try to eat six real whole grain english muffins. It's not possible. You will be stuffed after two. And those two will stick with you for hours. You will not be hungry and craving. You will actually have a wonderful feeling of satisfaction and fullness for a long time. Are you starting to see why eating whole foods is the best way to lose weight?

Now in the beginning, you may still overeat, because you're so used to eating that way, but this will pass and you WILL lose the weight as long as what you eat is whole and pure (even with an occasional pig out).

So, if you want to be thin, if you want to be energetic, if you want to be strong and vibrant, if you want to have a life even, you have to eat whole foods. Not only is it the best way to lose weight, it's the foundation of a healthy, productive, successful existence free from the mental, emotional and physical problems that plague most of the population.

Does this mean that you have to give up everything you love? No, no, no, a thousand times no.

BUT --

You do have to make the effort to find and create delicious, healthy versions of the foods you know and love.These healthy versions of your favorite foods are, by far, the best home remedies for weight loss. Find simple, quick, mouth watering recipes here.

The fiber and roughage in raw, uncooked fruit and veggies is one of the most important home remedies for weight loss. Fiber and roughage are critical for proper colon function (your bowels should move twice a day). Fruit in the morning (which will get everything moving), and salad in the evening.

Many of the most essential enzymes and other nutrients are available only in uncooked fruits and vegetables. As soon as heat is applied, food begins to lose its nutritional value.

If you don't like salad, which is literally your most important home remedy for weight loss, drench it in a salad dressing you like (from the health food store, no dairy). Eventually, You will come to love and crave your salad and no meal will be complete without one. There is nothing better than the crunchy, refreshing, cool crispness of live veggies with a delicious, healthy dressing.

Remember, your taste buds have been overstimulated, warped and misshapen by the fake food with all its salt, sugar and other garbage.

In fact, although it may be hard to believe, eventually, you won't want the foods that you may be currently addicted to. They will actually appear, smell and taste nasty. At the same time, as you eat more natural, healthy versions of the foods you know and love, you will find that they are bursting with tantalizing aroma and flavor and will satisfy and delight you way beyond the crapola from the supermarket. You will be like this: "I can't believe I ate that stuff my whole life!".

And I cannot emphasize enough the absolute necessity for a daily protein rich health and energy drink for weight loss. It's one of the best home remedies for weight loss. Click here for PowerUp recipe. Make sure to add a quality vegan protein powder to the basic recipe. There's a protein powder called Raw Power that I really love. Your daily health drink (PowerUp) is one of the most important and effective home remedies for weight loss there is.

Remember, these home remedies for weight loss are useful and effective, but the best way to lose weight is to implement my basic three part program: a daily, protein rich health and energy drink PowerUp , healing herbs, and a whole foods diet.

Look, you're gonna have to clean up your diet sooner or later anyway, because if you continue to eat regular American food, you WILL get sick. But you don't have to suffer. This can be an uplifting, powerful, healing journey.
