Have you noticed that it takes 6 months to lose 5 lbs….and a weekend to gain it all back plus a few more!?!

The problem may NOT be you or what you are doing. The problem may be what you don’t know!  What you don’t know may be leaving you exhausted, unable to lose weight, and maybe even sick

The food we eat, water we drink and air we breathe are filled with chemicals.  Those chemicals leave toxic deposits in our fat cells creating a little thing we call cellulite.

It’s ugly but that’s not the point. You are literally carrying around those toxins, trapped in the fat cells in your body.

Your fat cells are doing you a favor by holding onto the toxins, preventing them from circulating thru your system wreaking major havoc on your health.  Until your body provides those cells with a map to the exit ramp, those fat cells are holding on to all that garbage for your dear life

Your body also retains excess water to dilute the excess chemicals and impurities. No wonder you feel (and look) bloated!

I’m a firm believer in helping the body do what God created it to do: heal itself. When we keep our bodies as clean as possible, it will thank us with energy and better health

This past Monday, I forgot to take the garbage out!  Now the bin is over-flowing, it smells and it just can’t handle anything else.

Some of us haven’t taken out the garbage (for our bodies) in decades. Yet we can’t figure out why our bodies aren’t functioning the way God intended.

Here are a few things I passionately believe can make a difference. Give some of these a try and let me know how much more energy you have:

• Drink lots of water
• Add fresh lemon to warm water each morning
• Eat God-made food rather than man-made food
• Plant a garden!  Start with a lemon tree or simple vegetables
• Walk at least 30 mins 5 days/week
• Jump on a quality mini-trampoline
• Visit www.safecosmetics.org
• Wash your pillow case every two days in hot water
• Dry your face with a clean paper towel
• Bathe in epsom salts and baking soda once/week
• Fast routinely!  My favorite fasting drink is warm lemon water with one tablespoon Grade B .maple syrup and a dash of cayenne pepper.   Start with two days, build to five then ten days.
• As God directs, prayerfully consider a 40 day fast

My book, Becoming the Woman I Want to Be: A 90 Day Journey to Renewing Spirit, Soul + Body, outlines a comprehensive cleanse for spirit, soul and body. I invite you to check it out.

I also recommend the nutritional cleansing product, Isagenix.

Take care of your body and it will return the favor!
