Fat-Loss/Weight-Loss Challenges!
It’s important to know that there are definite challenges associated with weight loss and fat loss in some people. The good thing is that at New Leaf we know what to do about it. Many programmes are designed for the quick weight loss only – low calories, lots of shakes, small portions – and that’s fine. But what we find is that there is rarely enough protein in these diets and people lose muscle mass: this leads to exhaustion and thyroid problems.
The ongoing stress with this is that people will ALWAYS put on weight again afterwards! And low fat diets lead to hormonal issues since hormones are made of proteins and fats!
We also find that people don’t detox whilst losing weight, the problem here is that fat mass holds huge amounts of toxins – it’s a fantastic storage space, so by losing weight without detoxification, we’re simply pulling toxins out of the fat mass and less it flow through the blood stream and land in the nerves, the spine, the liver, the kidneys. This can cause a multitude of other health problems.
So, the two tips here are 1. eat heaps of protein and 2. detoxify while losing weight!
