When was the last time you decided to put your car on a gasoline diet? Especially since gas has gotten so expensive, this would make all the sense in the world. Except your car would stop in the middle of freeway traffic. How could it not without fuel? This happens to people every day. Funny enough, as a sophisticated society educated about all types of diets, we stop giving our bodies the fuel it so desperately needs, and yet we want it to work longer hours and with more oomph and energy than it did before.
How ludicrous and illogical!
Somehow we still try these diets that scream "starve me, starve me" even though we know they don't work. Did you know that 95% of all diets fail?
Instead of withholding fuel from your precious body, try adding some foods to your diet that are healthy and your body will just soak them up. Instead of cutting out foods, trying adding the following:
1. Take two pink grapefruits, squeeze them and drink them on an empty stomach. Do not add anything to the juice, such as sugars or other sweeteners and don't eat for the next half hour. Fruits need no digestive juices and are light on your stomach. Many times eating fruits with your main meal can cause the fruit to sit in your stomach, unable to pass. This causes the fruit to ferment, and that causes stomach cramping.
2. It is essential to drink a full gallon of water per day. Yes, you heard right. When I first heard this, I was certain that my bladder wouldn't be able to handle it, but I listened and was amazed at how easily the weight started to come off and I was also hungry a lot less. You will realize that you won't be as hungry as you were before, because your body was actually telling you that you were thirsty. It's important to drink water without ice or lemons added to it.
3. Vegetables that are rich in natural content are essential add to your diet. Those foods make great snack foods. Some of those vegetables contain a lot of water, such as iceberg lettuce, celery, apples, and many more. Always do your best to leave them in their raw state and not to cook them. These foods full of water give you a satisfied and full feeling and their juices add to flushing out fatty cells and poisons in the body.
