Thread: Say NO to yo-yo dieting with Nutritional Cleansing

I applaud anyone trying to control their weight. I have followed several programs over the years ... successfully losing weight ... and successfully putting it back on ... I call this the yo-yo diet, and I dealt with the yo-yo on every program I followed …

… that is until I came across nutritional cleansing. The brain does not work well with the deprivation we find in most diets. In addition, the brain does not deal well with toxicity, a pronounced phenomenon found in the body of just about anyone living in a first-world country. The brain hoards calories when it detects nutrient deprivation, and the brain stores any toxins (that our detox organs cannot keep up with) in the fat cells on our mid-drift section. Between “hoarding” and “toxin-storage”, losing weight becomes an exercise in futility … nothing but yo-yo’s in store for anyone following traditional diet-and-exercise programs.

What to do? Well, as I said, nutritional cleansing really comes to the rescue. By boosting your daily nutrient intake in the low-caloric format of meal-replacement shakes (once or twice a day depending on your needs) and flushing out decades-worth of toxins from your fat cells, you provide your body with the missing link between the temporary results you get from diet-and-exercise programs alone and the permanent results you actually want.

Please know that your diet program of choice and nutritional cleansing are extremely compatible … it’s not an “either-or-proposition”, but rather one of synergy … the benefits of your diet program - combined with - nutritional cleansing (a flood of nutrients and a healthy sustainable-for-life gentle full-body cleansing program) … and presto … you have the lifelong results you always dreamed of!

Cheers and be well,

Diet and exercise is good,
but Nutritional Cleansing is the Missing Link between where you are and where you want to be!

I agree that cleansing is an important part of dieting. You can eat ruits and vegetables that will help you flush out toxins or try expensive alternatives. Just a reminder that detox or cleansing diets are not for weight loss so don't use it longer than you're supposed to.

I say no to yoyo diet too. It's a waste of energy don't you think? You worked hard to lose weight and you end up gaining it back.

Well, it is a waste of time if you gained them back because you started overeating again.. In some cases, even if they are still on a diet, they still gain all the weight they lost..

It has been my personal experience, both with myself and with people I coach, that the yo-yo is inevitable if the method used (to lose the weight) involves forms of deprivation, which is the case with most North American weight-loss diets. If you reduce your calories and/or fat and/or salt and/or sugar and you do not endeavour to replace them with their healthy alternatives, it is only a matter of time before the brain starts feeling deprived. This, coupled with the impurities held in the body's fat cells which get released into the body and free-float there as the "diet" flushes out the fat that was protecting the body against these impurities ... and you've got yourself a major DOUBLE-WHAMMY!!!!

At some point, and the timing is not the same for everyone, the brain will react to deprivation and a heightened toxic load by A) increasing sensations of craving, and B) reproducing fat cells to house free-floating toxicity. Like I said, DOUBLE-WHAMMY!!!!

Really, the yo-yo is inevitable so long as the person's so-called "diet" involves forms of deprivation. So, please do not blame people for slacking off their "diet". One might say "the devil made me do it", but in fact, it is truly the brain making them do it! If it is a diet based on any form of deprivation, then sooner or later, their brain will rebel and force them into making bad choices to deal with cravings and force their body back into the fat-factory mode.

This is my perspective, based on much reading and much personal pain. Nutritional cleansing is the only method I have found that picks up where diet and exercise alone leave off. You need good food choices and exercise, but 90% of the population needs more than that ... they need a nutrient-dense delivery system to the body that makes up for the nutrients we are not getting at the grocery store alone ... and they need a sustainable and healthy method for ridding the body of its impurities. I found all this in nutritional cleansing and I was finally able to turn my life around.

If I may recommend a couple of books that clearly lay out this DOUBLE-WHAMMY:
1) Fight Fat After Forty, by Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H.
2) The Mars & Venus Diet & Exercise Solution, by John Gray, Ph.D.

Happy reading,

Thanks for the amazing and educational posts Lorri. I have been through the yo-yo dieting as most of us have. It's really not easy to go through and follow any weight loss program because normally the body doesn't respond to food deprivation. If you have been so used to your eating lifestyle, it isn't easy to change and break it unless you are committed to lose weight. If you are not positively sure that you want to take measures to stay healthy, most likely you won't be successful. Better start slow but reap long term results
