Detox Weight-Loss Plan
Detox weight-loss plans that require major dietary changes over the course of three days to four weeks can have side effects ranging from nausea to starvation. Dr. David Caruso, a family practitioner at Elk Regional Medical Center in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, says the side effects he has seen include fatigue, vomiting, headaches, malnutrition, dehydration, seizures and coma.
While most people do not stay on these extreme diets long enough to have serious side effects, those with eating disorders can run the risk of serious consequences, he says. Research has failed to prove or disprove the effectiveness of detox diets. Dr. Caruso says that organs such as the lungs, kidneys and liver have filtration-like systems that remove most dangerous toxins.
You secrete the toxins when you exhale, perspire, urinate or have a bowel movement. Batayneh suggests that the best way to detoxify and lose weight involves getting a proper balance of nutrients, limiting calories -- especially those that offer little or no nutrients -- and increasing activity. Avoid punishing your body with dangerous and extreme detoxification methods that may slow your metabolism, decrease your energy and deplete any nutrient stores you have.
Use a detox weight-loss plan that focuses on a balanced diet containing lean protein, healthy carbohydrates and good fats, while limiting your calories. Lean proteins include skinless poultry, fish, legumes, nuts and seeds. Complex carbs such as fresh vegetables, fruit and whole grains are healthy carbs. Sources of good fats include nuts, seeds, olive oil, corn oil, canola oil and avocados.
Batayneh emphasizes that you should start incorporating foods that you know are good for you and you enjoy eating. This allows you to make permanent changes to your eating habits, lose weight and keep your detox systems working properly. Start small by analyzing your dietary habits and making changes that you can sustain. Lose Weight. Feel Great! AGE lbs. WEIGHT ft.
I have been trying to get my cholestoral down without medication for the longest. I am definately going to try the flax seed. With a cholestoral count at 300, has me unnerved! My boyfriend just started using flax seed. I wasn't that interested in trying it but after reading your very informative article I may just give it a try! Amazing information and I will be incorporating this product into my diet. Any natural product than can help avoid pharmaceutical solutions is a good thing. Thank you so much and good luck on your continued success with lowering your cholesterol.
What an amazing story! I do not have high colesterol (can't even spell it) but was eating flax seed for some time. I had simply forgotten about it, and this hub reminds me to get some. It's cheap and easy to find. Plus, you can plant some of the seeds for a lovely crop of beautiful blue flowers! Voted so this hub just encourage me more to add them in my daily meals. Thank you for letting me know that this information is helpful to you.
Great tip about Flax seeds, which i was not aware, thank you so much. Thanks for checking out this info on using ground flax seed to deal with cholesterol problems. Interesting and useful thank you for sharing. You are right, the taste is a neutral/nutty taste, but even if it didn't taste okay, I would still use it as a prescription.
It's a far better choice to me than the official meds that docs prescribe, which I hope we never have to use! Thanks much for stopping in with your comment. Sounds like a great addition to those of us who are trying to lower our cholesterol. I assume it has a fairly neutral, or at least a nutty, taste? Voting this Up and Useful.
Using it regularly is the key, and the hard part because we are used to variety! I try to look at as a prescription that I must take in order to avoid having to have a prescription. Dressing it up sometimes by putting it in baked goods helps and adds flair to ordinary breads, etc., but it's not the same as having a daily prescription that is key to solving the problem. Thanks much for taking a look at this hub's info! Wow, it is nice to have a real life example of a natural remedy that actually works.
I have some flax seed here, but haven't been using it regularly. I will be using it more often from now on. I'll add ginger as well. Thanks for letting me know that this hub on lowering cholesterol is helpful to you! Just last week my cholesterol was reviewed by this same doc. I thought it would be up a little, and so it was, but he agreed more easily to checking them again in 4 months to see if I could get them down again.
He definitely did not want, however, to discuss the details. I'm now on a mission to do it again--right here at the holidays! ] However, that may be just what I need to avoid that holiday weight gain we will all have if we are not careful. I'm stepping up exercise and being more careful to use the ground flax seed daily, increasing the use of ginger and going to do more research on other foods to help lower cholesterol.
This is a beneficial article. I have read quite a bit about flax seed's benefits and now reading this about lowering cholesterol will be another reason to use it in my food prep. I have not ground it to use. Actually I add the seeds to a breakfast drink I make. But I will get a grinder and try your plan. Thank you for sharing this. I'm so glad you were able to share this info with your friend who needs to lower her cholesterol numbers.
