4 Lies That Are Keeping You From Your Guaranteed Weight Loss!

Myths are stories that may or may not have held some truth. Yet through time, they have been added to or distorted. People that buy into these myths then tend to live their lives around them, little known to them that these myths or false beliefs are driving them in the wrong direction.

What have you been told about about losing weight? Maybe you have heard from one of the experts in the industry that counting calories is the way to go? Or maybe you have been convinced that salt is bad for you? How about the fact that fat makes you fat? Or even that you need to eat meat for protein and iron and other important nutrients?

Well, if you have been told anyone of the above then you have been incorrectly informed! Yes, I said incorrectly. The truth of the matter is that most of what the 'weight loss world' is teaching is just plain wrong.

Let us look at the first one I mentioned above, 'counting calories'. The task of counting calories is a way of decreasing the amount of poisonous, life debilitating food and fluid most people are putting in their mouths. It seems like this is as much use as bailing a sinking boat out with a teaspoon! What would you say if I told you that you would be able to consume 5000 calories of healthy foods and fluids and the fat would pour off you? Keep in mind that the daily recommended amount of calories is between 2000-2500. Conversely, you could eat 1500 calories of acidic and poisonous foods and fluids and still gain weight.

So you see, counting calories is a simple way of decreasing the amount of toxicity an individual is consuming and the very act of counting calories blocks you from gaining the real solution to your weight problems. Double your calorie intake and fill those calories with alkalizing healthy foods and fluids and watch the weight fall of!

Another huge myth about weight loss is that 'fat makes you fat'. Nothing could be further from the truth. Healthy oils such as flax, hemp, olive, avocado, coconut and borage among others, actually help your body let go of fat. Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen ions which are acidic to the body (although the body does require some saturated fat to create the good cholesterol). Unsaturated fats, like the ones listed above, have gaps where the hydrogen ions are not present. These gaps are used to pick up acidic matter and dispose of it. It is this acidic matter that is causing the body to store fat so it has somewhere safe to store the acid created by normal bodily process' and lifestyle choices.

So consume unprocessed oils as much as you can. Up to 100 grams per day is fine and will not make you fat! Eat avocados, almonds, coconut and anything else containing natural healthy fats. Fill your meals with cold pressed olive, flax, hemp, sunflower, borage and avocado oils and watch the fat begin to leave your body.

That's 2 myths put to rest, let us tackle another. 'Salt is bad for you'. Let's get clear on this statement. Processed salt is bad for you, but unprocessed, natural mineral salt is not only good for you but absolutely necessary for your body to continue living. Now I know this probably seems like an odd statement. That is until you understand what salt really does. First of all, sodium chloride (salt) when added to hydrogen, oxygen and water creates potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. These four minerals are responsible for bundles of life giving functions within the body.

Sodium chloride, along with potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, also acts as an alkaline buffer, helping to neutralise harmful acids that keep the body overweight. Find yourself a source of unprocessed natural mineral salts and start consuming them liberally. Pour it on every meal and enjoy the taste of salt once more.

The last in our four great myths about weight loss is the 'protein myth'. This is a good one and most of the world still strongly believes it. Firstly, we were told that our body needs anywhere between 50-100 grams of protein per day, depending on which study you listened to. In the body builders world this number has even increased up to as much as 300 grams per day! Incredible! The truth, however, is that these numbers are incorrect. Any objective research that has been carried out in the last few decades shows that anywhere from 15-25 grams of protein per day is plenty. Some recent research is now suggesting as little 5-10 grams!

If you have spent any time studying the weight loss and health world then you surely would have been taught that you require exaggerated amounts of protein and, worse still, that this protein should come from meat and dairy products. Again, rubbish! Firstly, you don't need anywhere near what has been taught. Secondly, 70% of the bodies protein needs is formed within the body. And thirdly, there are much better quality and healthier sources of protein than animal and dairy produce. Meat and dairy products serve absolutely no purpose in the human diet.

There you have it. Four great myths exposed. Now it is time for you to choose. Will you continue to live within the lies or will you choose to counter these myths and change your living habits? Start consuming healthy oils and salt. Stop counting calories and instead, fill your diet with alkaline, electron rich, life enhancing foods. And finally, stop thinking you need animal and dairy protein to be healthy or build muscle or give your body iron or do any of the lies that have been told to you. The proof is in the pudding, so go on and see for yourself.
