Don't Stuff and Starve!

Nutritional Cleansing requires you to consume food throughout the day.  You should bookend your day with food.  Consume something soon after you wake and save a bit of something to eat after dinner.

 Actually you should NEVER go 5 or more waking hours without food.  Why you ask?  If a person waits more than 5 hours between eating. their liver will automatically start releasing glycogen it has stored.  It can release more than you would normally eat at a meal or snack.  To prevent the liver from overfeeding, you must beat it by eating. Blocking excess liver release of of sugar is a big part of controlling insulin release.

Diet Verses Exercise

I always advise my clients to NOT start a strenuous new exercise regime at the same time they start Nutritional Cleansing.  Why you ask?  Because if you hit your body with too many changes all at once, it will rebel and hang onto every last calorie AND you will likely get burned out quickly.

Step 1 - get rid of the weight!  Get close to your weight goal and then start up your program to tone!  You did not gain the weight all at once, let your adjust to the changes so they will become permanent changes!!

Step 2 - Take a long look at your thinner body and evaluate the areas you want to work on.  Start slow.  I like to see my clients start on a treadmill walking.  Slowly increase the speed and incline.  You do not have to run but you should walk 5 out of 7 days.

Step 3 - Seek professional trainer help - especially if you are going to work with weights!

Reminder.  Whatever activities you are doing when you start Nutritional Cleansing - keep doing them.  Just like you cannot reward yourself with food, you also can not reward yourself with less activity!

So What's the Story Behind Drinking All the Water?

ONE GALLON A DAY.....really?  Scroll down and read why!

Why this emphasis on water?  It is NOT because water will fill you up and make you less hungry!  The purpose of water in Nutritional Cleansing is to kep your blood at its proper concentration and PH.  Without proper hydration, waste products (ketones) build in the blood, changing its PH to become more acidic.  Your brain will detect the change in the PH and purposely slow fat burning in an effect to help neutralize the blood.  Plain and simple - DRINK WATER AND LOSE MORE FAT!
