</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In the eyes of most of us there are only two types of weight problem: you’re gaining it too fast or you’re losing it too slowly. According to traditional dieticians both of these have their root in the same cause: the number of calories you are taking in is more than the number you are using up. Basically this is true, but it doesn’t mean that certain factors, like toxins, can’t interfere too.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

Some research explains that many of the foods we eat now contain toxins that actually promote weight gain in animals, and are likely to do this in humans too. To make matters worse, because many of these toxins appear in pesticides, they are concentrated in foods that we would use to lose weight, such as salad crops, soft fruits and other fruits and vegetables; even if you eat organic, you can be exposed to these toxins from insecticides and other household products.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

Relatively harmless toxins like caffeine or alcohol also play a role, because they destroy the vital nutrients we need to burn fat. Recent research from the University of Tennessee, USA found that the more calcium there was in a diet the more fat the body burned, since calcium has the power to convert cells from fat storers into fat burners. Caffeine, however, actually causes us to excrete calcium, taking out 6mg from our stores with every cup of coffee we drink.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

Research published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that 58 percent of overweight women were deficient in vitamin C (one of the major free radical fighting antioxidants); and in trials where overweight women were given supplements of vitamin C they lost weight even without dieting. Deficiencies in another antioxidant, vitamin E, are also linked to excess weight, and, again, this could be linked to toxic overload.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

Not only does cortisol stimulate your appetite, but it also encourages fat cells in the abdominal area to start collecting calories to store as fat.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

Unprocessed toxins are stored in the fat if the liver can’t handle them; stored with them, however, are large amounts of water. The reason for this, according to one nutritionist, is that the body’s ‘solution to pollution is dilution’. This means that if the body thinks that something is harmful it will surround it with water to try to minimize its strength and efficacy. If you’re storing high levels of toxins in your body, therefore, you’re probably also carrying high levels of fluid. If this is the case, no amount of fat-burning will reduce your weight.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In some people, this reaction occurs for another reason: food intolerances. These arise when the body loses the ability to digest a particular type of food properly. This means that the food stays in the system longer than it should and it ferments, filling the body with substances that it finds toxic. The body then tries to dilute these ‘poisons’ by flooding them with water.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

The diet is also low in sodium, which will also reduce the amount of fluid you retain. In addition, it supplies large amounts of detox foods and supplements that will help neutralize any harmful toxins released into the body as the fat breaks down. This is important, so please don’t skip your daily Chelating Cocktail. It will also boost your efforts if you use organic products and keep toxins such as alcohol and caffeine to a minimum so that your liver can deal with any large toxins that are released.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

While detoxing enhances results, it’s cutting calories that ensures weight comes off, so try acupressure instead. The appetite point is on your ear about 1cm (½ in) from the top; on the side next to your head you’ll feel a small hollow. Use a cotton bud to press it gently a few times.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />

It aims to help the body eliminate fluid more effectively, stopping it from being reabsorbed into the tissues. It uses a very basic form of manual lymph drainage to do this, which means that instead of deep probing strokes you should use long, very gentle moves. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">For best results, carry out the massage with a blend of essential oils that are designed to fight fat and fluid retention. For example, take two drops of grapefruit oil, two drops of mandarin oil and one drop of black pepper oil and add them to 10ml of carrier oil (test this first, since black pepper can irritate sensitive skins). You can also boost fluid loss by trying steams of saunas. Aim for one a week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">If you get to the end of the month of the plan and still have more weight to lose, there’s a good chance that it’s fat that you now need to reduce, not fluid. You can therefore reintroduce wheat and dairy products into your diet in small amounts. Switch from soya to skimmed milk in breakfast meals. Add cottage cheese or 50g (2oz) of reduced-fat hard cheeses to your protein choices (and choose these once or twice a week). Also add wholegrain breads and wholewheat pastas to your carbohydrates in the evening (and again choose these once or twice a week). The rest of the diet stays the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The simplest way to beat this is to add intervals to the aerobic part of your plan. After every two minutes of your normal aerobic activity, add 30 seconds to two minutes of working out at least 10 percent faster. These mini energy bursts stimulate your body and stop it from getting ‘bored’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight no matter how cleansed your system is. To work out how many calories you can consume in a day without gaining weight, do this simple calculation. Multiply your weight in kilograms by 0.9, then multiply this figure by 24. Multiply this third figure by one of the following: 1.3 if you are in a sedentary job and do no exercise; 1.5 if you are in a sedentary job but exercise for 1-3 hours a week; 1.7 if you are in a manual job or exercise heavily (for more than three hours a week). (For example, if you weigh 65kg and fall into the second category above, the calculation for your calorie intake would be: 65 x 0.9 = 58.5 x 24 = 1,404 x 1.5 =2,106 calories.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you don’t have a food intolerance, there is no point cutting out wheat and dairy products any longer. If you aren’t sure, go back to normal levels but listen to your body: if you notice your waistline getting puffy, or the scales rapidly adding 2kg (4lb) or more in a day, you are intolerant. If this is the case, stay off them again for a few days, then introduce just low levels: no more than 1-2 servings of dairy foods and 1-2 servings of wheat foods daily. If you do keep dairy foods low, boost your calcium intake through leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale and broccoli, calcium-enriched products like orange juice and bony fish like sardines. (The body needs calcium to burn fat.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
