I have received a lot of questions for tips on how to lose weight and keep it off.  I do have some tips for losing weight and it worked for me:

#1. Stay completely away from fast food, processed food, and any diet food and drinks. These foods not only contain a ridiculous amount of sodium (which cause water retention and weight gain), they also contain a ton of man-made chemicals not meant for human consumption and they produce a ton of side affects such as headaches, mood swings, water retention, weight gain, and will completely throw your body’s chemistry out of whack. (A lot of today’s health problems are caused by these chemicals in our food).  Completely avoid anything that contains “ASPARTAME.”  This is a chemical that is considered the “sweet poison.”  Headaches, mood swings, and weight gain are just a few of its many, many, many side effects.  (I had headaches almost everyday til I discovered this in Nutrition class.  Now I seldom ever get a headache).

#2. Drink lots of water every day. Drink a glass of water before each and every meal. Not only will this help you feel full faster (therefore eating less) this will also help collect bad fats and flush them out of your system before they have a chance to be stored. Continue reading →
