How to overcome weight loss challenges

Weight loss is often more of a challenge than anticipated

You decide to lose weight. That is easy. So you join a gym or start a diet program. Even easier. Once you start, you discover that it is not easy at all.

In fact, it is quite painful, both physically and emotionally. Burnout sets in and instead of getting the results you wanted, you just want to give up. Maybe you think “well, maybe next year” and the old clothes resume. This is the story of almost every weight loss program undertaken by would-be “losers” who just couldn’t take the “pain” that comes with reaching the goal. What happens? Is it possible to overcome?

Weight loss is painful in proportion to the amount of toxins involved

Weight gain is not so much a health problem as it is a symptom of one. The so-called “foods” that are ingested and that the body considers toxic accumulate and create havoc due to internal malfunctions. The body begins to decompose from there. In other words, the body loses its health due to lack of nutrition.

Weight gain is a major symptom of this, but other symptoms such as aches and pains, tension, stress, and many others can also occur. One of the first things that happens when you try to lose weight by eating a more nutritious diet and exercising is that the body begins to rid itself of those toxins.

This is what is happening.

When the body is exposed to toxins, whether from ingested foods (chemicals, GMOs, excess sugars and refined carbohydrates, the list goes on…), it can get rid of a certain amount through bodily function, if that body is relatively healthy. However, the body can only discharge a certain amount, so to protect itself, excess toxins are coated with fat and deposited in fatty tissue.

That sound good. But… there is more.

Caffeine is one of the most obvious examples of an “addiction” on the part of the body, as evidenced by the withdrawal symptoms experienced when stopping its consumption. Any toxin will have this effect on the body. Toxins from processed foods like diet sodas and packaged non-whole foods will need to be eliminated to get healthy and lose those pounds. Withdrawal symptoms abound in many cases.

This is what is happening. When you begin to lose weight, the body begins to detoxify: the toxins trapped in the fatty tissue are released back into the bloodstream. Regardless of what those toxic particles are connected to, for example getting drunk at a bar and having a fight with your spouse and/or being beaten, whatever the incident, those emotions, discomforts (physical or emotional) will be re-experienced, unknown to you.

For some people this can be very intense or very uncomfortable or even painful.

That’s when many give up on the decision to lose weight.

Withdrawal doesn’t have to be very painful at all.

One of the characteristics of withdrawal is the depletion of minerals from the body. Deficiencies are created by the detoxification process, which is where all the pain and discomfort can come from. This is where calcium and magnesium once again come into play most vitally. Maintaining these levels is increasingly important in the detoxification process, as well as in recovery from exercise. This is paramount because here we have the top reasons people give up on weight loss. These mineral levels can be the difference between success and failure.

How to achieve real weight loss without quitting smoking

While there is still some mental challenge, there doesn’t have to be any pain to achieve weight loss and there may also be a reduction in mental challenge. With the right minerals, exercise, and a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods, success and goals can be achieved.

As a detox specialist, I have seen many people help themselves through these discomforts with the right diet and the right calcium and magnesium in balance and at the right pH. I am always happy to help you. My wish for you is a happy and healthy body. You CAN do it and that is my wish for you.
