Winning the Weight Loss Battle

By Virginia Pipolini


The majority of western cultures are no stranger to dieting. With so many books and products for weight loss you would think we could easily win this battle, but the scales are tipping, in the wrong direction. We want Weight Loss for Life, but often that loss is short lived.

Some say stress is a factor, others say it's the foods we eat, or the combinations. There are many that do eat healthy diets, and exercise as well, yet they continue to battle the forces of excess weight.

We're not just talking about how good you look. Weight issues are health issues as well. Excess weight is hard on the heart, and can increase the level of toxins and artery clogging substances in the blood stream.

We are carrying toxins and many foreign substances that can cause harm to our body. The human body is highly intelligent. It knows a threat when it sees it. How does our body protect itself? Our body will respond to those substances it cannot release through urine and perspiration, and encase them with fat.

It is difficult to single out the cause of our weight problems because typically there is more than one cause. Our diets do not promote healthy cells. Toxicity supports more toxicity. The ultimate digestive maintenance substance called Candida, something that helps us by processing the excess sugar we consume, requires more sugar to survive.

Diets full of processed foods, loaded with preservatives and dyes, sugars and enhancers, can lead to an imbalance in the body. Once we understand our demons we can control them, and conquer the uphill weight loss battle.
