Water & Weight Loss Pt 7 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food

HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS - PT 7

Let me begin by apologizing for not posting for about a week. I've been under a lot of stress moving my family into a new home, and with all the packing and setting up of our new home, I haven't had any time to write for my blog readers. Beginning next week I should be able to get back on track with this series on weight loss.

Today I'd like to continue this series on successful healthy weight loss. I'll be sharing practical things you can do to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight for your height and body shape.

By way of review,
here are the other three keys that we've covered so far.

Key #1 - Stop overeating and practice systematic undereating.

Key #2 - Eat for nutrition, for energy, for life.
Listen, seek, research, learn, study, and understand that there are keys of knowledge that will help you unlock the secrets to a long, healthy life and successful weight loss and weight management. These keys to good nutrition and tips to healthy eating will open a whole new world of health, life, and vitality to you. I believe you were created by God and destined to a life of health and prosperity.

Key #3 - EAT ONLY HEALTHY ORGANIC NATURAL WHOLE FOODS

Key #4 - EXERCISE DAILY

Key #5 - ELIMINATE ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, AND WHITE SUGAR

Key # 6 - ADD ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL TO YOUR DIET

Key # 7 - DRINK NATURAL SPRING WATER (HALF YOUR BODY WEIGHT IN OUNCES) EVERY DAY, AND START YOUR DAY WITH A LARGE GLASS OF WATER WITH SOME LEMON AND SOME ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Starting your day with a large glass of natural spring water with some lemon squeezed in and some organic apple cider vinegar will help kick start your body's natural metabolism and cleansing. DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER! Tap water is loaded with all kinds of toxic chemicals that will harm your body. If you are overweight, you need to drink plenty of good natural spring water throughout the day to help your body flush out toxins and cleanse itself. Apple cider vinegar has been shown to be effective in helping people lose weight. I recommend putting one tablespoon of Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar into a glass of water with some lemon and if needed, a teaspoon of natural unheated raw honey.

If you really want to go all the way, you will also want to add a shake of cayenne pepper into your glass of water because it will help increase your metabolism and make you burn fat quicker. As you can imagine, drinking a large glass of water, cayenne pepper, organic apple cider vinegar, a big squeeze of lemon, and possibly some raw honey, is not going to be easy to do because of the taste. However, if you get into the habit of doing this every morning, it will become a regular part of your morning routine and you won't mind doing it.

One other idea is to make yourself a morning smoothie with some fresh or frozen organic fruit and berries, add some live whole food like The Feast (by Uri International), and then put in your lemon, apple cider vinegar, honey, and cayenne pepper, along with a banana to thicken it. This, in fact, is what I do every morning myself. This has been my daily morning routine for a year now, and I love making this smoothie every morning. Of course, I also add a few other things such as some Himalayan Crystal Salt, some freshly ground up flax seed, some fiber, and some coconut oil. It tastes great, is very filling, gives me plenty of energy, keeps me going until around 12 or 1 pm, is very healthy for me, and helps cleanse my body of toxins and set my metabolism to burn fat efficiently.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

God-made Foods Vs. Man-made Products - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy

"If it wasn't a food 100 years ago, it's a man-made product." - Brett Rademacher

I'd like to give you a standard by which you can measure all food products to know if they are healthy or not. Use these keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy when you're out food shopping or eating in a restaurant. Simply ask yourself these two questions:

Question #1 - "Was this a food 100 years ago?"

Question #2 - "Is this a God-made food or a man-made product?"

If the food product you are considering eating or drinking WAS a food 100 years ago, then it is most probably a whole food and healthy for you. In other words, it is probably a GOD-MADE FOOD that was designed by God to meet the nutritional needs of your body. Therefore, it is a good whole food and should be eaten and enjoyed.

However, if you're considering a food product that WAS NOT a food 100 years ago, then it is most definitely a MAN-MADE PRODUCT and is NOT healthy for your body. Don't eat it or drink it! It is simply not good for your health and will put a toxic stress on your organs.

Let's look at a couple of examples and see if this measuring rod holds true.

1. An Organic Apple - This was a food 100 years ago, and it is a God-made food that is healthy to eat today.

2. High Fructose Corn Sweetener - This was not a food 100 years ago, and it is a man-made product that is NOT healthy to eat. Unfortunately, man (food manufacturers) has found a way to put this unhealthy man-made toxic sweetener in most of the products in the supermarket, often without the consumer even knowing it's there, and usually without the consumer knowing how dangerously unhealthy it is for his health.

3. An Organic Carrot - This was a food 100 years ago, and it is a God-made food that provides good nutrition to your body.

4. Hydrogenated Oils (Trans Fats) - This was not a food 100 years ago, and it is a man-made product that is very UN-healthy for your body. Unfortunately, this toxic form of oil is found in many man-made food products in the supermarket and in restaurants.

5. Artificial Sweeteners - These are obviously man-made products and were NOT a food 100 years ago. They are extremely toxic to your body and cause all kinds of terrible physical health problems. Therefore, never use Aspartame, NutraSweet, Splenda, and Saacharin.

6. MSG (monosodium glutamate) - This was not a food 100 years ago, and it is a man-made food additive that is very UN-healthy for your body. Unfortunately, food manufacturers and restaurant owners have found hundreds of ways to sneak it into their man-made food products without the consumer even knowing it's there. Avoid this excito-toxin at all costs.

7. Organic 100% Whole Wheat Flour - This was a food 100 years ago, and it still is because it was made by God. This is the only kind of wheat flour to bake with and eat.

8. "Enriched" Wheat Flour - This was NOT a food 100 years ago, and it is a man-made product that is very UN-healthy for your body. Most of the good nutrition has been bleached out and stripped out, with a few synthetic vitamins and minerals added back in that your body cannot even use. Unfortunately, this is the most common kind of flour that food manufacturers put into their hundreds of baked goods. Another danger with eating this man-made product is that it is most probably a genetically modified (GM) product that is very UN-healthy for you.

I could go on and on with a ton of examples, but I hope you see my point. Most foods fit into one of these two categories: God-made foods and man-made foods. Most food products can be classified into one of these categories, which will help you choose what to eat and what to avoid.

There are a few things that do not easily fit into these two categories, and if you ask if they were a food 100 years ago, some people might say "Yes," while others would say "No." These are special cases that you need to look deeper at in order to make a wise decision. For example, what about pork products and shellfish?

The truth is that God did not create pigs and shellfish to be eaten by man. They are God-made creatures, but they are NOT God-made foods. Let me explain.

God created certain creatures to be scavengers on the earth and to eat nasty things like the decomposing flesh of other animals. Pigs, shrimp, lobsters, crabs, clams, scallops, and vultures are all scavengers that God designed to eat rubbish and garbage and other scum on the ground and ocean seafloor. When you study the dietary restrictions that God gave His people in the Bible, you will find all of these scavengers prohibited for health reasons. When man does not abide by these dietary restrictions that God set up for our good, he starts consuming a whole host of toxins that accumulate in his body and eventually lead to all kinds of terrible physical health problems and illnesses. If you don't believe me, ask any marine biologist about the levels of mercury and other poisons found in clams and scallops. In summary, certain creatures that God made were strictly forbidden to be eaten because God did not make them to be food for mankind. Pigs, shellfish, birds of prey, and the like are not to be eaten by man, and if they are, they will cause him to become sick and loaded with toxins that are destructive to the body. They are God-made creatures, but they are not God-made foods.

In conclusion, when you're out shopping for food or eating at a restaurant, always ask yourself these two questions.

1. Is this a God-made food or a man-made food?

2. Was this a food 100 years ago?

If the answer to both of these questions is "YES" - then eat it and enjoy it.

If the answer to either of these questions is "NO" - then do NOT eat it because it is not healthy for your body and will cause you many health problems.

Natural Whole Food Supplements Recommended as Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy

Daily Quote: "Perfect health is above gold; a sound body before riches." - King Solomon

Good morning, my friends, from your faithful Naked Nutrition Knight. Today I'd like to give you a few more keys to good nutrition and some tips to eating healthy. Are you ready for some practical insider information on what the best whole food nutritional supplements are?

Before I share this useful information, I need to say that you should not by buying processed synthetic man-made vitamins and mineral and nutritional supplements. Most of these products are now being made by drug companies, and most of them are being made in foreign countries like China. The main reason that you shouldn't be buying them is that they are "synthetic" man-made chemical copies of what is found naturally in nature. In other words, most of them have been chemically produced in a pharmaceutical laboratory and are not made from the natural food sources found in nature.

This is a huge problem because your body cannot effectively utilize these "synthetic" man-made versions of vitamins and minerals. In fact, many of them are not even recognized by your body as vitamins and minerals, and they are therefore rejected by your body as toxins, which is what they really are. If you are loading up every day on "synthetic" chemically-based man-made vitamins and minerals, you are actually weakening your body with chemicals that are often toxic to your system and are not able to be recognized or utilized by your body. I encourage you to stop buying these man-made products.

The best source for natural vitamins and minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, and phytonutrients is from live whole foods. In other words, eat an apple and some watermelon. Get your nutrition from real live fresh organic whole foods such as vegetables, greens, fruits, berries, grains, seeds, nuts, legumes and beans. These foods are loaded with vitamins and minerals and hundreds of other important nutrients.

In addition to eating these whole foods, you can also juice your vegetables and fruits in order to get a concentrated amount of natural vitamins and minerals and enzymes. However, this must be done in moderation because you don't want to overload your system with too much natural sugar found in fruits. The down side to juicing is that many people find it just too inconvenient due to the cleaning up process. People often buy a juicer and use it for several weeks or months, but soon they stop using it because it is just too much work to buy all the fresh produce, wash it, juice it, and clean up the mess afterwards day after day.

There is another "next best alternative" source for getting your natural vitamins and minerals. It's called live whole food nutritional supplements. What does that mean? Simply put, it means that they take the fresh live organic fruits & berries, greens and vegetables, and they pick them at their peak of ripeness and nutritional value, and turn them into a juice mixture. Then they dry the juice using a low-heat dehydration process that preserves the nutrients without preservatives. The final natural product is a powder that you simply mix with water (rehydrate) and drink. In this way you're able to get the full nutritional value of all of that live organic whole food produce, including all of the natural occurring vitamins, minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, phytonutrients, & hundreds of other nutrivitve compounds.

TAKE THESE NATURAL WHOLE FOOD NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

Here is a brief, condensed list of some of the very best natural whole food nutritional supplements that you can (and should) be putting in your body every day. These foods are often referred to as superfoods or superjuices because they are so loaded with powerful nutritional compounds that are so good for your body's health and vitality.

1. Drink a top-quality "GREEN DRINK" every day. These should come in a powdered dehydrated form that you simply mix with water and drink. Never buy a green drink or superjuice that is in a liquid form because it has been pasteurized (which kills many of the living nutrients) and because it has had unhealthy preservatives added to it to keep it from going moldy. Always look for a dry dehydrated powder form that you mix with water.

Make sure that it is loaded with high-quality, ripe, live natural organic whole foods. These should include as many as possible of the following foods, superfoods and superjuices: Barley grass juice, wheat grass juice, alfalfa leaf juice, oat grass juice, Klamath Lake blue-green algae, spirulina, chlorella, kelp, lots of powerful greens and vegetables, lots of antioxidant rich fruits and berries such as noni-fruit, mangosteen, wolfberry-goji, acai berry, black currant, blackberry, blueberry, pomegranate, bilberry, raspberry, purple grape, elderberry, cranberry, strawberry, and apple; lots of nutrient dense seeds, nuts, and sprouts such as flax seed, oat bran, brown rice fiber, almond seed, sunflower seed, wheat sprout, quinoa sprout, amaranth sprout, pumpkin seed, chia seed, and sesame seed; many active enzymes and fulvic minerals; and a lot of resilient living probiotics.

You can go to a health food store to find green drinks, but most of them taste like you're licking a lawnmower. Sadly, most people who buy them end up throwing them away after one or two tastes because they simply taste so awfully green. The secret to overcoming this problem is to find a green drink that has a lot of fruits and berries added in to the greens and vegetable juices that add an element of sweetness that makes the green drink actually taste good. I warn you, there aren't many out there, so you'll really have to look everywhere until you find one. By the way, I can make your search very easy because several months ago I found just such a superjuice green drink that has everything mentioned above, and it actually tastes great. It's called, "The Feast." Believe it or not, my small kids even love it and demand it every morning. If you would like to learn more about this amazing green drink, you can find information on it at the following website. The FEAST

2. Drink some Bragg's Organic APPLE CIDER VINEGAR every morning. In 400 B.C., Hippocrates (the father of medicine) discovered that natural, undistilled apple cider vinegar is a powerful cleansing and healing elixir - a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs, bacteria, mold, and viruses - for a healthier, stronger, longer life. The best kind to use is organic, raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the "mother" in it. You can find this at most health food stores. I recommend the Bragg's brand and their book, "Apple Cider Vinegar Miracle Health System: Learn these Powerful Health Qualities for a Longer, Healthier, Youthful Life!" by Paul Bragg and Patricia Bragg. They recommend mixing 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with some raw honey or raw agave nectar in 8 ounces of water upon rising every morning.

3. Use EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL every day in your smoothies and/or cooking. Coconut oil is a very healthy oil that has many benefits for your body, including assisting in weight loss. Two more excellent oils to add to your diet are EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL and SESAME OIL.

4. Use as a sweetener RAW HONEY (unheated, unfiltered, natural, unprocessed pollen-rich). Also, you can take raw honey related superfoods such as propolis, bee pollen, and royal jelly. Honey possesses miraculous nutritional and medicinal properties. However, I caution you not to take more than one or two teaspoons a day. Too much honey may adversely affect the pancreas, liver, and adrenals and contribute to sugar-metabolism disorders.

5. I would also recommend taking GTF CHROMIUM on a daily basis. Most Americans are deficient in chromium, which is an essential co-factor of insulin that helps control & regulate insulin in your body.

6. Start using HIMALAYAN KRYSTAL SALT in your diet, in moderation. Stop using table salt immediately. It contains only sodium chloride, can cause the body to retain water which can cause swelling, edema, and cellulite; and it often has additives such as aluminum hydroxide, sodiumferrocyanide, calcium phosphate, stearic acid, and others which can be toxic. When ingested, the body recognizes table salt as a poison and accumulates water in and around the cells to protect them from this invading substance.

On the other hand, Krystal Salt contains all 72 mineral elements that the human body consists of in ideal proportions. All these minerals are in the perfect crystal matrix and ultimate ionic form (electrically charged). Krystal salt is the only antioxidant that works everywhere in the body. Once Krystal Salt is introduced into the body, a profound regeneration of the cell membranes becomes possible. If you would like more information on Himalayan Krystal Salt or Miracle Krystal Salt, simply do a Google search, find a producer of the salt, and order some, or click on this link to where I get mine: Himalayan Krystal Salt Then get rid of all table salt from your kitchen, diet, and life.

I trust this information has been helpful to you. I encourage you to incorporate these SIX SUPERFOODS into your daily diet.
