A weight loss cleanse can be easier to follow than a diet which can be time consuming. In addition, cleansing will help you clear built up toxins that can be stored in fatty areas and when done right, may help you reset your metabolism. As you cleanse, you can find out what foods make you feel tired and sick and what foods keep your energy up.

Following a weight loss cleanse can be easy when you keep things simple. Don’t waste time counting calories or analyzing sodium grams. By incorporating some simple steps you will no longer have to live by labels. You can also learn how eating healthy will give you the energy and metabolism needed to keep the weight off once and for all.

Step 1 – Stop eating junk food. Everyone knows what they are; sodas, chips, french fries, fat foods (oops, I mean fast foods), ice cream and so on. These highly processed junk foods not only add weight, but they can stop your body from losing any weight! Junk foods are loaded with chemicals such as preservatives that can get stored in fatty tissues causing you to look fatter. On top of this, they can interfere with your thyroid function.

Step 2 – Eat as few processed foods as possible. This means foods that are packaged and/or pre-made designed to save time. Do a reality check and see if it really does save you time. For example, you can chop some lettuce and veggies to throw a salad together in about the same time it takes to open and heat a can of soup. If you really do want the packaged food, look for the equivalent at a health food store. Check the ingredients – the less your food has, the better. More ingredients means more processing. A weight loss cleanse should help your body eliminate harmful ingredients.

Step 3 – Eat mainly whole, fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Also eat proteins such as chicken or fish, without preservatives or processing. Then add 1/2 serving of whole grains to your meal such as wild rice. Fill your plate before you eat, with 1/2 to 3/4 full of vegetables. Keep protein the size of your palm. Any of these foods should not have labels, as they are in their natural state. If you add sauces, use only a minimal amount and try to use organic if possible. Drink only fresh, spring water and herbal teas.

Step 4 – Take fiber twice a day. Use a supplement such as crushed flax seeds or psyllium. These types of fiber can help absorb toxins from your intestinal tract and add bulk to help remove more waste. Taking fiber 10-15 minutes before your meals can help you feel fuller, sooner.

Step 5 – While on your weight loss cleanse, add to your nutrition. Start by taking whole food vitamins so you are getting all of your nutrients. A “whole food” version ensures your body can utilize most of the nutrients and you don’t have to worry about toxic side effects. Another supplement to include are Essential Fatty Acids, or EFA’s. These are fats that your body needs for healthy brain function, to balance hormones, keep joints supple, keep your hair and skin healthy and they help you lose weight.

Step 6 – Incorporate daily exercise utilizing the circuit training effect. Circuit training burns more fat and calories and breaks up your routine to make exercise more effective. Exercise raises metabolism, boosts your mood, stimulates circulation and can help your body clear excess waste and weight.

Try circuit training at home by alternating aerobic type exercise with resistance exercise. You can do this without special equipment, if you choose. Put on some music to help set the tone and choose resistance exercise you want to do which may include push-ups, squats and lunges. Choose four to six exercises with a goal of performing three sets of each. Do a set of resistance exercise (say 12 squats) followed by one minute of aerobic exercise. You can jump rope, use an exercise bike if you have one, or even use a rebounder. Follow this by another set of resistance and then another minute of aerobics. Continue this way until you exercise for a total of 30-40 minutes.

Make a list of these six steps and put them where you will see them each day. Stay away from restaurants for now. Try collecting recipes to help you stay away from fast foods. There are many free ones on the net. Help yourself with a weight loss cleanse so you are ready for summer with a healthier body and mind.
