THE SECRET WEIGHT LOSS DRUG WITHIN YOU.

Did you know that our emotions control most of our actions?  Actions such as what we eat and how much we exercise.  Let face it if you are feeling down you dont feel like going for a walk or to the gym.  We have all heard of  €œcomfort foods.  do you know why they are called that?  It is because they release certain hormones within our body.  These then produce €œfeel good€ feelings.  Our emotions also control many of the hormones in our body.  The emotion of stress produces an overproduction of cortisol.  Cortisol is directive related to abdominal fat.  It also makes it very difficult to lose weight.

HAPPINESS IS THE SECRET WEIGHT LOSS DRUG!

Emotional control is an essential part of a thin and healthy life.  Pleasure is a powerful metabolizer that increases oxygenation and blood flow. It also decreases the production of Cortisol. Ultimately helping to burn fat and build muscle.
When you go out for a walk you increase your pleasure hormones.
Simply walking 10 minutes a day is a great way to start decreasing cortisol and increasing your pleasure hormones. When you walk it is helpful to look into the distance with your shoulders back and your head held up high.  Taking deep breaths while you are walking is also helpful in both elevating your mood and oxygenating your brain for increased clarity.  Start slowly and build up gradually increasing the time you walk.   You will find that this turns into a most relaxing time for yourself.  I know that I personally have become practically addicted to waking up and walking.
 Oxytocin is one of the most powerful feel good hormones. Until recently this has been a little known fact.

We have an entirely natural means of producing oxytocin in the brain and in our blood. Nurturing another, caring for a pet, giving selflessly, engaging in affectionate touch, massage, meditation, prayer, worship and exercise are all ways of producing Oxytocin.  Additionally this also creates more oxytocin receptors and makes these receptors more sensitive to oxytocin's effects. This hormone is especially powerful for women.

In other words, we produce oxytocin naturally when we love and are loved. The more love we give and receive, the more "in love' we feel, Thus producing more Oxytocin the €œstress busting happiness hormone.

So feel good and use these very simple quick and easy methods to reduce stress and give you the most potent weight loss drug there is HAPPINESS.

Want to Lose Weight? Stop Eating Sugar!

Sugar may taste sweet but its health effects are anything but.  Excessive sugar consumption throws the body's pH levels out of balance making it harder for us to lose weight and maintain good health.  The sugar, and the acidity that it creates, provides an internal environment that is ripe for the overgrowth of dangerous yeasts, fungi, and bacteria.
In turn, these pathogens feed on the sugar, multiply, and expel toxic wastes that make us feel and look even worse.  Because these critters feed on sugar, our body begins to crave more sugar in the form of sweets, breads, pastas, and so forth.  We end up feeding these microorganisms and fuel their growth and place further toxic acid into our body.
As this vicious cycle continues not only do we feed these toxin-producing microorganisms but we also intake huge amounts of calorie-rich, nutrient void, sugar-laden foods.  Over time, an excess intake of calories through sugar obviously leads to weight gain (considering everything else remains equal).

The Liver, Toxins, Acid, and Weight Loss

The other aspect of sugar that prevents weight loss is the fact that as we fuel more and more microorganisms, the toxins they expel create more acid in our blood and pose added stress on our liver.
Since excess acid in the blood will eventually be stored in fat cells, it is futile to further acidify your body if you want to lose weight.  Only once you rid your body of excess acid and restore its proper pH balance will you be able to shed excess fat.  If fat is needed to store acid, then it can more readily be metabolized. 
Similarly, if your liver becomes stressed and compromised as a result of having to filter tons of toxins floating through your blood, your weight loss attempts will be in vain.  This is because the liver is not only the body major filter but it also regulates sugar and fat metabolism.  If the liver is not functioning properly then its ability to metabolize sugar and fats will also be compromised.  Elevated blood sugar and blood lipid levels are usually the result.   

Hidden Sources of Sugar

While we typically eat a lot of sugar in the form of desserts and sugary beverages, a large portion of our sugar intake comes from hidden sources which include:

Livestock are often fed sugar prior to slaughter to improve the color and taste of the meat.
 Corn syrup and molasses are often used in restaurants to prevent shrinkage of hamburgers.
 Sugar is added to many mixes and roasted nuts.
 Canned fish are often glazed with sugar.
 Condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and relish are heavy sources of sugar.  In fact, sugar is most often the first ingredients in these foods.
Most table salts contain sugar.
Most breads, pastas, and cereals contain added sugar of some sort.
So as you can see we are bombarded by sugar.  The key is move away from packaged and processed foods and move towards fresh whole foods.
You're much better off eating natural sugar from fruit then chemically altered and manufactured refined sugar that you can buy from a store.
The choice is yours but if you want to lose weight then you need to make the right choice.  Opt for more fresh vegetables and fruit, especially greens.  Greens are one of the best sources of alkalinity and help rid your body of excess acid produced by sugar consumption.
