Wholefoods & Healthy Fats
It’s evident that if you eat a fresh, healthy salad of kale, carrots, nuts, legumes, and various seeds drizzled in your favorite non-dairy salad dressing is far more robust than a bowl of old school ramen noodles (without vegetables) and bag of cheese puffs, The fuel you put into your body is essential and the less processed the food is the more weight you will lose. Instead of eating chips (fried food), candy, baked goods, starchy foods, buy and cook with vegetables and fruits you enjoy. Most common healthy plants to have around for cooking meals and tossing together delicious salads are:
Green Apples
Carrots
Celery
Broccoli
Pineapple
Your Favorite Beans
Sweet Potatoes
Purple Cabbage
Avocados
Whole Grains
Lean Proteins
Greek Yogurt
Extra-virgin Olive Oil
Of course, there’s so many fruits and vegetables missing from this list for no reason whatsoever. As you begin to experiment in the kitchen and at the grocery store, you’ll find exotic produce that you can’t live without in a salad such as the fantastic jicama. The point is, start eating more vegetables and don’t stop trying new salad toppings. Every time you want to eat sugar, instead eat fruit.
Unsweetened Teas
Green tea is the most typical tea suggested for those on a diet. The easiest way to burn fat is to avoid sugar. When you introduce sugar into your system, your brain will use the sugar as fuel instead of targeting fat as fuel; this is part of a particular diet plan known as the ketosis diet. With so many teas to choose from the best drinks for weight loss and appetite suppression are:
Bilberry Tea
Oolong Tea
Hibiscus Tea
Star Anise Tea
Rose Tea
Peppermint Tea
Pu-erh Tea
White Tea
Yerba Mate
Apple Cider Vinegar
There are too many benefits to apple cider vinegar, from making yummy salad dressings to conditioning your hair, that apple cider vinegar deserves a gold star for being so versatile. For a fat burning tonic that boosts energy and metabolism and reduces blood sugar spikes, mix these ingredients into a cup and drink on an empty stomach or with a meal and drink any time you want:
1 Tablespoon (Organic) Apple Cider Vinegar
1.5 Cups Warm Water
1 Tablespoon Honey
Dash Of Cinnamon (Optional)
Epsom Salt
This next treatment can be dangerous for those with heart problems, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Incorporating baking soda, 2 cups of Epsom salt, and apple cider vinegar to a weekly bath soak can not only help alleviate aches and pains but also increase your bodies ability to release toxins and accelerate weight loss while enhancing relaxation and reducing stress. If you have a bathtub, then an Epsom salt bath soak will help you burn fat and feel rested.
Baking Soda
Besides adding baking soda to your bath, the reason we mention this amazing agent of the house is for a secret known by athletes called ‘soda doping.’ Soda doping is common to the sports industry, especially for runners in need of an energy boost before a game or practice. Soda doping won’t trigger your body to target fat, but it will improve your workouts which will help in endurance and intensity, motivating you to work out longer.
Once used as a home remedy for heartburn and indigestion, add a half-teaspoon of baking soda to a full glass of water for a boost in energy and digestive relief. Make sure always to measure how much baking soda you use as too much can cause vomiting, upset stomach, and other internal stressors. If you take medications or have sensitive medical conditions, ask your doctor if drinking a small amount of baking soda will be of benefit to you.
Fenugreek Seeds
Ancient Egyptians have been utilizing the benefits of the fenugreek seed (or methi seeds) to spice up foods and as a beauty enhancing supplement for centuries. It’s important, like all herbs and supplements to limit your intake and never consume more than the recommended amount. Avoid taking fenugreek If you’re pregnant, have diabetes, or taking anti-inflammatory medications or blood thinners. Consuming too much fenugreek can cause diarrhea, bloating, and gas. However small amounts as a culinary spice or herbal supplement is an effective appetite suppressant. Fenugreek seeds are loaded with essential vitamins:
B6
Fiber
Carotene
Calcium
Magnesium
Zinc
Protein
Iron
Copper
Electrolyte Potassium
Amino Acids & More
For a healthy dose of fiber soak one tablespoon of fenugreek seeds in a little bit of water and let the seeds sprout overnight. Strain the seeds and drink in the morning on an empty stomach. You can also purchase fenugreek powder for mixing into water for a similar effect. Try seasoning your foods with fenugreek and experiment with your favorite dishes.
A Chiropractor
The ultimate reason many people would want to lose weight is the chronic pains extra fat can cause to weak muscles and joints. A spinal adjustment from a chiropractor boosts your immune system and increases your body’s ability to function correctly. Not every chiropractor offers the same services or expertise. For a holistic approach that incorporates your weight loss goals, search for a certified Advanced Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) practitioner, The difference between a general chiropractor and the Advanced CBP chiropractor is the extra services that address your weight loss goals, exercise routines, and dietary and nutritional guidance needs.
A Massage Therapist
If you’re serious about losing weight, plan on a monthly appointment with a massage therapist. You deserve a massage every day, but that’s not affordable. Having a massage once a month or more can help your body relax and release toxins, which in turn can help you with your weight loss goals.
A Nutritionist Specialist
We added this to our top ten list for those who have specific dietary needs and restrictions. With so many latest fads, trends, diets, and pills, it’s important to stay cautious and seek the help of a specialist. A trained nutritionist can help you change your eating habits by choosing alternative ingredients that match your favorite meals.
Fitness Membership
Technically you can exercise at your home for free without any equipment with simple jumping jacks, squats, and push-ups, but becoming a member at a fitness center can accelerate your workout routines and help you stay on track to your weight loss goals. Some fitness gyms offer in-house sports chiropractors, massage therapists, and personal trainers. These combined services are the ultimate secret guide to a healthy life and continual weight loss.
The Bottom Line To Weight Loss
It’s important to understand that without exercise and healthy eating habits, no diet or pill will help you lose weight. Aerobic exercise three times a week or more and drinking plenty of water is vital to burning fat and slimming down. Walking every day is a simple way to shed pounds naturally. If a sports injury or disability limit your mobility, following the guidance of a physical therapist or Advanced CBP spinal physician can help you figure out proper movements that ease the pain, boost mobility, and inevitably lose weight.
