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.

Juice Fasting Pt 7 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

What to DRINK during your Juice Fast

JUICES

The best kind of juice to drink during your juice fast is fresh, live home-made juice. If you have a juicer, you can make your own fresh juice just before drinking it. Do NOT drink pasteurized, processed, preserved bottled or canned juices that are found in the supermarket. These juices are dead, are often loaded with sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and are very unhealthy for you. Do NOT drink these because they are dead juices.

There are several good books out there that have recipes for juicing and juice fasting.

Drink juices made from fresh fruits, berries, greens, and vegetables.

The fruit juices most frequently used during juice fasts are: apple, orange, grapefruit, lemon, grapes, pineapple, and pear.

Here are some recommended vegetable juices: carrot, beets, celery, cabbage, as well as green juice (chlorophyll drink) made from green leaves of alfalfa, wheat grass, comfrey, carrot tops, beet tops, and/or other available edible greens.

If you don't have a juicer, you can do what I do, which is to mix up a large glass of The Feast, by Uri International. The Feast is a live whole food based InstaFresh super juice powdered mix that has over 30 fresh fruits and berries and 30 fresh greens and vegetables in it. It is not pasteurized and has no sugar or artificial sweeteners in it. It is a very convenient way to drink your fresh live whole food fruits, berries, greens, and vegetables during your juice fast. At the bottom of this posting is a link for more information about the Feast and how you can order some.

It is usually best to dilute your fresh fruit and vegetable juices with water about 50%-50%.

NATURAL SPRING WATER

In addition to drinking fresh juices, you can also drink plenty of natural spring water or artesian well water. Do NOT drink tap water or bottled water that is made from tap water because of all of the harmful chemicals and toxins.

FRESH MADE VEGETABLE BROTH

In my next posting I'll teach you how to make a VEGETABLE BROTH, which is another thing you can drink while doing a juice fast.

Secrets to a Healthy Breakfast - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy

"To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals." - Benjamin Franklin

I'd like to share with you some secrets to eating a healthy breakfast. If you use these keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy, you will accomplish two important things. First, you will assist your body in the mornings with the process of elimination, which is extremely important to your health and well being. Secondly, you will give yourself an energy boost that will take you all the way to lunchtime.

SECRETS TO A HEALTHY BREAKFAST REVEALED

Key 1 - After rising, drink a large 12-16 ounce lukewarm glass of natural spring water with 1-2 teaspoons of Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar, a big squeeze of lemon, and a tablespoon of organic raw honey. These four things will assist your body in the elimination process. Your body needs lots of water in the morning to rehydrate itself and to flush out toxins in your system.

Your body processes food in three stages: digestion, assimilation, and elimination. These stages correspond to three time cycles.

digestion = noon - 8 pm
assimilation = 8 pm - 4 am
elimination = 4 am - noon

You need to learn to work "with" your body instead of "against" your body and its cycles of food processing. The optimum time for eating and digesting food is between noon and 8 pm. Digestion is followed by the process of assimilation from 8 pm to 4 am. Most of this takes place while you sleep. The third stage is elimination, which lasts from 4 am to around noon. During this third and final stage, your body is focused on eliminating all of the wastes and toxins from the previous day. This is NOT a time to eat a heavy breakfast, but rather a time to exercise and drink lots of fluids, fresh juices, and to eat an apple. Do NOT begin your day with a large breakfast, which will only defeat your body's purpose of cleansing and elimination.

Key 2 - You need to learn to EARN YOUR BREAKFAST. In other words, your day should start with plenty of exercise, chores, and work, during which time your body has time to stretch and start eliminating the wastes and toxins it is purging.

Key 3 - About an hour after your large mixture of water and cleansing ingredients, it's time for you to have some more liquids. I recommend one of two things. You can either make your own fresh squeezed juice from organic fruits, berries, and vegetables. This will give you an energy boost for the morning, and it will aid in the elimination process. Or you can mix up a "green drink" in the form of a smoothie. This can include a lot of water, some fresh or frozen organic fruits and berries, an organic whole food powdered nutritional supplement, some Himalayan Krystal Salt saline solution, some organic barley grass juice powder, some organic extra virgin coconut oil, some flax oil, 1/4 or 1/2 of a fresh lemon, a banana, and some cayenne pepper. All of these green drink smoothie ingredients will give your body an incredible energetic morning boost, as well as assist your body in the process of elimination. I highly recommend an organic whole food based powdered nutritional supplement called, The Feast, made by Uri International. You can find more information on this amazing product by going to this website. http://www.LiveSuperJuice.com

Key 4 - Around ten in the morning, eat an organic apple or another high-fiber fruit. Apples are very healthy for you and contain fiber that will help your body cleanse itself and eliminate waste from the previous day. The wise proverb, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," is actually true! Fruit is the best whole food for the morning because it is loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that assist your body in the cleansing and elimination process, as well as providing your body with an energy boost.

If you will follow these four secret keys to a healthy breakfast, your body will reap the benefits as you learn to work with it instead of against it. The main thing to keep in mind is that mornings are a time for elimination, and not a time for digesting a large breakfast. Mornings are a time to hydrate your body and flush out the toxins. Mornings are a time to get plenty of exercise and to drink lots of water and some fruit juice. Late mornings are a time for an organic apple or some other tasty cleansing food. I trust this information is useful to you. Sincerely, the Naked Nutrition Knight.
