How Detox Programs Remove Toxins and Prevent Weight Loss Failure

Permanent weight loss is dependent upon peak liver performance. In order to burn fat and lose weight, our liver converts fat in the form of triglycerides into energy. However, fat soluble toxins in the liver severely impede your liver function and stop fat burning. A well-designed program that supports the liver will enhance fat burning and result in permanent weight loss.

Your liver is responsible for maintaining energy balance for different systems throughout the body that require energy to do their function. Muscle uses free fatty acids, the brain uses glucose for energy. When the liver is required to make energy from stored fatty acids due to calorie restriction, toxins that are stored in fat cells along with triglycerides are circulated into the liver for processing.

The liver is like a factory that has limited resources and cannot function without proper maintenance. Toxins cause the liver to require more resources (special amino acids, polypeptides, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes) and without them, similar to a factory, the liver will shut down. In order to break the load of toxins coming into the factory the liver will halt the process of breaking down triglycerides. Circulating triglycerides are restored into fat cells. Hence, the process of burning free fatty acids is reversed due to toxic overload in the liver.

When the liver cannot process toxins fast enough, it will not convert the fat into glucose for energy consumption. At this point weight loss stops or worse, weight begins to accumulate again even on a low calorie diet.

In order to lose weight and excess body fat, a weight loss program must encourage the consumption and reduction of internal fat rather than protein. If the body consumes protein instead of fat it breaks down muscle and connective tissue resulting in weakness and emaciation.

The solution to successful long term weight loss begins with a detox system that will support and increase liver metabolism in order to reduce toxic load that naturally surges as fat cells are consumed for energy. (It's like running a car engine with 94 octane versus 87 octane).

To be effective weight loss should be a system that is followed over time. For those who are serious about permanent weight loss, one of the best initial programs is a simple and effective 14 day detox system.

The goal is to get healthy and eliminate toxins in our bodies such as pesticides, herbicides and industrial chemicals that enter our bodies through the food we eat, water, juices, sodas, alcohol and the air we breathe. These toxins enter our bodies negatively affecting our health, vitality and contribute to chronic diseases. A 14 day detox system can remove toxins from our bodies enabling the body to lose weight and reduce body fat. Other benefits include increased energy, healthier skin and hair, restful sleep, clear thinking, positive moods and the start to healthy habits for prolonged health.

Additional benefits of a 14 Day Detox System include:

• Improves digestion issues
• Reduces or eliminates bad breath
• Reduces fatigue and increases energy
• Relieves constipation and headaches
• Improves skin, reducing or eliminating itchy skin and rashes
• Relieves joint pain
• Increases concentration and reduces irritability

A successful 14 day detox program includes a balanced diet supplemented with protein, herbs, nutrients and antioxidants to help the liver balance detoxification pathways.

Be sure to avoid foods such as sugar, sweeteners, gluten containing grains including wheat, oats and rye, dairy products alcohol and desserts.

Implementing a 14 day detox program is a simple and effective short term strategy for getting you on a path of long term health and permanent weight loss.
