Everyone likes to talk about 'weight loss' but what type of 'weight' are people actually losing? In this article, readers discover the truth about the term collectively known as 'weight loss'.In 2003 I attended a seminar entitled 'Fat Loss not Weight Loss' as part of my Naturopathic training. Early in the day the lecturer made a comment that I have never forgotten. "You can lose weight just by going to the toilet!" Although Mr. Eddy ND was stating the obvious; it wasn't until that moment that it dawned on me just how misleading the term 'weight loss' can be. Losing excess fat, fluid, waste or toxins, should be the goal of any healthy weight reduction program. However, for most people, the success of a weight loss program is measured simply by a decrease in kilograms on the scales.So when 'Anita' weighs herself on the scales and she's 2 kg lighter, she assumes that this is healthy and what she is doing is working. And of course this is understandable given that the generalized notion of weight loss, is all anybody ever talks about! But what if that 2 kg weight loss came at the expense of a reduction in muscle and bone mass? Muscle mass is heavier than fat mass so when it is lost it...more

I have taken flushing the fat out of your system to a whole new level! I dug in and did some extensive research to find the ingredients that are proven to flush fat from your cells, detoxify your liver, eliminate toxins from your cells and basically cleanse your entire system. While doing this, I discovered that fruits and vegetables are loaded with phytonutrients (like beta & alpha carotene, lycopene and lutein) which, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (from their website):1. Serve as antioxidants2. Enhance immune response3. Alter estrogen metabolism4. Covert vitamin A5. Cause cancer cells to die6. Repair DNA damage caused by smoking and other toxins7. Detoxify carcinogensWow! We always heard that you should eat your fruits and vegetables, but we never really hear exactly why. I found out why! For example, carrots have Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin B 1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B 3 (Niacin), Vitamin B 6 (Pyridoxine), Folate, Manganese, Magnesium, Molybdenum, Potassium, Phosphorus, beta-carotene, falcarinol AND Dietary Fiber.
