You're looking to lose weight for good, right? You're not keen on fluctuation up and down with your weight all of the time, struggling day in and day out to maintain any results for good.

No-one is realistically going to want to lose weight for a short period of time only. Its just likely. They aren't going to come out and say 'I really just want to lose weight for a few months and then put it all back on again, perhaps with some extra baggage!' No, if you have a weight problem, you're looking for a long term solution. Problem is, most people don't know what this solution is and are doing things wrong.

They think they do, however. They think that a regular diet or nutrition plan is going to give them the results that they want. They think they'll start eating healthily and somehow they'll manage to maintain this forever and stay slim and healthy for good.

No chance

Nope, not gonna happen. I'm sorry to announce that only about 1 in 200 people end up losing weight and keeping it off for good from dieting alone. Not good odds for anyone and the chances are pretty high you're going to be one of the 199...no the 0.5 per cent minority!

Now, what you are probably not aware of is that detoxing is absolutely critical if you want to see a long term weight loss solution. Why exactly? Let me tell you.

Toxins are all over the place. They're in our foods, in the air, in our beauty products, in our cleaning products...they are everywhere. When you ingest these toxins into the body through food, through your skin, and so on, they get stored in the fat cells. Obviously this toxic build-up isn't great for the body and it is our fat that helps to protect our nervous system and organs from these toxins....not great if these toxins are stored in the fat!

Yep, we all need some fat around our organs and nervous system as protection. And the more toxic we are, the more protection we're going to need. So, when you go on a diet and your fat cells get smaller, you're actually making yourself more toxic.

Hoe does this happen?

Well, because the toxins are stored in our fat cells, so as they get smaller, and the toxins remain, you end up becoming more toxic. Not good, right?

The body responds to all of this by producing more fat as protection. So this is kind of where rebound weight gain comes from - its a reaction and defence mechanism brough about by the toxic overload in your system.

This is one of the main reasons why you may well have suffered from rebound weight gain before. Unless you reduce the toxicity in your fat cells, you're not going to be able to lose that fat and keep it off.

So, detoxing becomes a vital part of any long term weight loss plan and it should certainly be high on your agenda if you are struggling in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and rebound weight gain.
