6 Tips to D-Stress and Lose Weight

To be successful at weight loss and the prevention of weight gain, it is vital that you find ways to manage stress. Otherwise, you leave yourself open to some of the negative effects of stress. In my case, long-term stress led to a lowered immune system, which in turn made me susceptible to everything, including chronic fatigue syndrome.

Time and time again, I see clients who feel like they've been doing everything "right" and aren't getting the weight loss results that they want.

They diet. They obsess over calories.

They push themselves at the gym... and they are still not seeing what they want on the scale, or in the mirror!

Why the Scale Isn't Budging (And It's Not What You Think)

That's why I always say that you need to look deeper — beyond just food, calories, and exercise.

Here's what isn't being told by many health and weight loss specialists. Getting rid of toxins is just as important, if not more important than nutrition and exercise.

You might ask why?

The Hidden Toxic Load You're Carrying Daily

Because you are exposed to around 100,000 different toxic chemicals on a daily basis, some of which include:

  • Processed foods
  • GMOs
  • Alcohol
  • Trans (toxic) fats
  • Preservatives
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Dyes
  • Prescription medications
  • Perfumes
  • Cosmetics
  • Cleaning products
  • Heavy metals
  • Petrol
  • Phthalates
  • BPA
  • PFAS
  • Parabens
  • Fertilisers
  • Pesticides
  • Hormones
  • Chlorine
  • EM radiation

Just in Your Produce Alone, This Could Be Lurking:

  • Germs from whoever handled or grazed over them
  • Waxes
  • Pesticides
  • Herbicides
  • Fungicides
  • Rodenticides
  • General farm-yard gunk

Worst of all these toxins and chemicals are also all around us, in the air you breathe, the clothing you wear, in old fashioned air pollution, it's inescapable...

They place a tremendous burden on the body, and particularly on the liver, and there is substantial evidence to show a link between toxicity and numerous ailments, including poor concentration, headaches, digestive problems, and low energy levels.

The Toxic "Bucket" Theory

And did you also know that we all have a "bucket" that contains all the toxins we take in?

We each have a different sized bucket and can tolerate different amounts of toxins. Once our "bucket" is full the only option is for the toxins to spill over into the body, into the organs, into the tissues, and overtime causing damage.

Unfortunately the older you get and the more toxic exposure you've had, the more likely your "bucket" will overflow. Just like mine did...

How Toxins Sabotage Your Metabolism

Once the toxins have built up, your body (and your metabolism) slows down.

When your body is constantly focusing on trying to eliminate the buildup of toxins and heal the resulting inflammation, it's energy is depleted and it doesn't have anything else left for metabolism and the shedding of kilos.

Eliminating these hidden "fat magnets" (e.g. toxins) will prime your body for safe, natural, almost effortless weight loss.

The Solution: Strategic Detox Programmes

Doing a detox programme like my 28-Day Summer Body Meal Plan or 30-Day Mojo Detox can help your body reset, clear out toxins, clean the slate and get you back on track so that you can see results.

Does that mean you'll lose ALL the weight you want in these programmes?

Not necessarily. After all, your goals and your body are unique.

But you can expect to see and feel results.

Most Important: You'll Be Setting Yourself Up for Continued, Long-Term Success

Plus you'll get lots of delicious recipes, handy shopping lists and meal plans to make things as easy as possible. I've also included daily detox tips and tools to help boost your results and turbocharge your mojo to another level!

Whether you'd like to:

  • Reduce your sugar intake
  • Eat more plant-based meals
  • Cut back on the alcohol
  • Drink more water

My programmes provide you with the opportunity to kick start some new healthy habits and lose some weight too!
