What Makes Your Body Toxic?
Did you have any idea that every year the "average" American consumes about 150 lbs of sugar and 565 cans of soft drinks ("liquid candy") ?. That comes out to around 52 teaspoons of added sugars for each one of those average people, every single day and that's according to the USDA! Can't you just invision a person sitting in the kitchen, every morning and gobbling down 52 teaspoons of white sugar? Well, without our even realizing it, this is what is happening to us. No wonder we're such a fat country, right?
In the last several decades, the American junk food consumption has increased drastically. In 2001 alone, the average American, as compared to 1981, consumed in one year 45, count 'em, large bags of potato chips. That's up 78% in 20 years. They've also racked up 120 orders of French fries, which is an increase of 130%. And guess what is up 80%? Candy bars, yep and we now suck down 190 candy bars a year. Our morning pastries and baked desserts are up 95% to about 120 a ye ar and our love of pizza shows. We're up to about 120 0 slices of pizza every year. Wow! We're putting it away, huh?
"My body basically fell apart"
With this type of dietary degeneration over a 20 year period, what kinds of long-term effects might we expect? If you get a chance, watch the movie "Super Size Me" and be shocked! This movie actually documents precisely what physical and psychological changes take place when one consumes too much junk food. The filmmaker, a gentleman by the name of Morgan Spurlock, became a human guinea pig by eating three meals a day for 30 days at McDonald's, America's favorite restaurant. The film centers around the impact this had on his health and life. This is what the New York Post had to say about the film: "Scores of cheeseburgers, hundreds of fries and dozens of chocolate shakes later, the formerly strapping 6-foot-2 New Yorker - who started out at a healthy 185 pounds - had packed on 25 pounds. But his supersized shape was the least of his problems. Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock's entire body deteriorated."
Spurlock told the Post that, 'It was really crazy - my body basically fell apart over the course of 30 days," His cholesterol went from 165 to 230, his liver began to malfunction, his libido became diminished and he suffered headaches and became depressed." Toxins "stimulate neurons to death" The chemicals and additives contained in junk foods are dangerous and sometimes these junk foods are laced with excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame. What are Excitotoxins? They are "substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees." That's ugly! The best-selling book, "The Crazy Makers," by nutritionist Carol Simontacchi, puts a nice spin on it when she says, "Food industries wantonly destroy our bodies and our brains, all in the name of profit."
What is happening here is that America's health is being forsaken for the greediness of profits. The consumer is the victim. With the kinds of statistics that are available, it is no wonder that nearly half of the U.S. population has at least one chronic condition, and 60 million have more than one. That's a sad statistic!
All of the junk food that we consume in our daily lives will first have a devastating effect on the colon first and then it will go on to affect the other organs. Have you ever heard the adage, "death begins in the colon?" Well, this situation is what the adage is referring to.
Cleansing Of The Colon Is What Is Missing
Each of us has the power to improve our health and well-being quickly and dramatically. In order for that to happen, we have to change some things. The main key is good nutrition, however, we have to remember that our health depends not only on what nutrients we consume, but also on how much of those nutrients are actually well absorbed into our system. Another very important factor is that of how well and how regularly the body eliminates waste products.
It could very well be that the cleansing and detoxification process is the missing link in the type of nutrition that is practiced by the Western cultures and many believe that it is one of the keys to real healing. There have been hundreds of documented patients over the years who are able to transform regular or persistent illness into health and greatly improved vitality simply by using appropriate colon cleansing and detoxification. We can certainly maintain healthy and vital lives through the use of proper cleansing and detoxification measures.

The sad truth is that fast weight loss techniques, that you read about and hear about all the time, are not always effective. That's right. Many of them do not provide the results that they promise. Fast weight loss is, to be fair, a relative term. "Relative to what?", you ask. Well, relative to what you consider "fast." Is your weight reduction goal one week or one month? Is it 10 pounds or 100 or more pounds?
You see, unfortunately, most people don't want to hear the truth and they'll fall for an advertisement claiming that they can lose 10 pounds a week when, in reality, that kind of weight loss can be very dangerous and unhealthy. Most people don't seem to want to know the truth about fast weight loss and they'd rather go on believing that there is a way to lose weight ridiculously fast enough that they'll be able to shed those 30 pounds in two weeks. Then, unfortunately, they are very disappointed and frustrated when the truth sets in and the highly marketed diet plan that they bought into turns out to be an exaggeration.
We Know What You're Going ThroughThat's why we, at Repair My Weight loss, are here. We want you to know the truth despite what others are trying to get you to believe. We're certainly not saying that diets don't work. We know that diets work but we also know that they're never a walk in the park. Diets take hard and often frustrating work. Most people give up on a diet just as the diet is about to show results. We know because the staff at Repair My Weight Loss has experienced most of those diets right along with you. We've suffered through the seemingly starvation type diets, the low carb diets, the low fat diets...just about every one of them. We understand what you are going through and we want to help you.
Fast weight loss diets are, for the most part, unreal. There are a few fast weight loss diets that actually work initially but after you've lost the first few pounds rather rapidly, they stall out. There's a reason for that.
Other proclaimed fast weight reduction diets don't even come close to their claims. Then there are those that are highly effective if you can stand to stay on them for any amount of time. No matter which diet you use, believe in or want to try, we've found that one thing always seems to make the initial phase of any diet work much more effectively.
Cleansing
The cleansing of the colon by certain methods seems to allow the body to move into diets a bit more easily. The initial shock of any type of diet to the body is tolerated more readily if the colon is cleansed appropriately first. Does this mean you have to experience some form of diarrhea for a week or something nasty like that? No, not at all. Some forms of colon cleansing don't have much to do with bowel movements but rather what you put into the body over a certain period of time.
We don't condone or sponsor ANY specific colon cleansing product here at RMWL, but we do promote, strongly, the use of some type of colon cleanser either with or without a diet. Why? Because your health starts in your colon and that's the orgination of most diseases. This is a private thing. No one has to know that you practice colon cleansing. Just don't tell them but, for your own sake, DO practice it. Here is a great site for learning more about colon cleansing.
We have lots of information for you to go through at this website and we'll be adding new information fairly frequently. A lot of our pages have more than one subject in them. Read the entire page before moving on or you might miss some important information. Our goal is to help you understand what's out there and how it works before you decide whether or not to use a specific kind of diet. Regardless of which diet plan you choose, you should be able to find good information about it before taking the plunge. Stick with us and see if maybe we can help you get through this difficult time. You'll thank us for it in the long run.
