10 QUICK WEIGHT LOSS TIPS FOR 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

I can't believe how fast the past year went by. I hope you are proud of all you accomplished when you look back, if not don't give up, as long as you believe, are ready to work at it, you will be successful. Here are a few weight loss tips to aid you this year:

1. DRINK MORE WATER: 
-It makes you fuller faster
-Increases your metabolic rate
-Helps flush out toxins from your body

2. LIGHT BREAKFAST:
- Fruits and vegetable juices are great for breakfast, takes very little time to digest but keeps you energized and satiated.

Anti-oxidant galore YUM

3. SAY NO TO SUGAR & REDUCE SALT INTAKE
-Use fruits, dates, organic maple syrup, honey, stevia or agave to sweeten
-If you crave salt, use dulse flakes, braggs amino acids, or dried celery flakes, you can also eat strawberries or mangoes, they have enough sodium to soothe your cravings.
-Himalayan salt is the best quality salt I know and use, unlike regular table salt whose minerals have been bleached out, himalayan salt still has all its elements.

4. AVOID DAIRY PRODUCTS (if you must then buy organic)
-Collard greens, broccoli, almonds are all great sources of calcium

5. DETOX
-Excess weight is caused by excessive waste in the body and calories the body can't use
-Do a juice fast or the FYR 21-Day detox (ebooks available at top right hand corner of this site)

FYR 'Fire'


6. EXERCISE before you eat breakfast:
-Forces the body to burn fat as opposed to the body burning sugars from what you just ate

Doing jumping jacks with resistance bands

7. AVOID ALL 'WHITE' FOODS and foods that contain them
- White sugar, rice, breads etc
-Substitute that side of potato or rice with some steamed or raw vegetables instead

8. TRY NOT TO EAT AFTER 8PM OR EAT AT LEAST 3-4 HOURS BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
-Teas or water is fine

9. EAT AS MUCH RAW FOODS AS POSSIBLE
-One of the quickest and safest ways to lose weight is to eat more raw foods.
-You could do raw until dinner and then have some cooked food
-Raw-vegan foods include fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts
-Raw food contains live enzymes which are denatured by heat when we cook food
-Live enzymes help cleanse the body and get rid of waste
-Eating 70-80% raw will yield tons of benefits to your health, you only need to try it for a few days to know what I mean

10. KEEP YOUR STRESS DOWN
-Please refer to my blog entry titled 'Stress, the silent killer'
-Most people respond to stress by overeating
