These Foods are Toxic…And Many Are Making You Fat!

If you are overweight, as so many people are these days,

don’t point a finger at the mirror and assign blame to

yourself. Yes, you’re ultimately the one who is in charge of

what goes into your mouth, but the food industry has been

selling the public a bill of goods that has us convinced that

“diet” foods are good for us when, in fact, they put us into a

toxic state. Did you know that the majority of “diet” foods

that contain fruits and vegetables (think breakfast cereal,

snack bars, puffed, processed veggie snacks, and other

so-called healthy items) often have added sugar or artificial

sweetener in them? In just a moment you’ll learn how

these contribute to toxicity and contribute to obesity.

Toxic foods aren’t poison in the sense that they will kill us

immediately when ingested, but they put our bodies into a

tailspin that leads to out of control eating, leading to obesity

that in turn increases our risk for heart disease and

stroke. If your daily diet is full of junk such as processed

meats, fried foods, and soda (especially the diet kind!)

then you are on the straight and narrow path toward an

unhealthy end.

Luckily, the body often heals itself perfectly when treated

to a pure, clean diet, and when you cut the junk and begin

feeding yourself on a cellular level, your health takes a

near-immediate turn for the better.

Why I created The 14 Day Red Smoothie Cleanse

As a naturopath and nutritionist, I make a point of eating

a clean, healthy diet filled with natural, organic foods. But

my diet hasn’t always been the best! In fact, obesity runs

in my family. In college, I ate constantly. I gnawed my way

through study sessions and stressful pre-exam jitters. I

gorged myself to celebrate good grades, and binged to

mourn bad ones.

                 

My weight skyrocketed, making the average “freshman 15”

look like a drop in the bucket. When I went to the student

health clinic for a checkup at the beginning of my sophomore

year, I was obese. My doctor warned me to stop the

out-of-control eating or lose my life before it even had a

chance to really blossom.

All that happened about 20 years ago, back before America’s

obesity crisis was really out of hand. I was someone

unusual – a young woman with a serious weight problem

and lots of impending health issues to go along with it.

Now, I see that stressed, binge-prone girl in so many of my

patients, and my colleagues and I agree that this may be

the first generation to live shorter, unhealthier lives than

their parents.

Anyway, I digress. By the time spring break arrived a year

later (I was a junior) I was 30 pounds into the “obese” category.

I did well on my semester finals, but not well enough

to satisfy the perfectionist inside me; in fact, I lost my mind

and binged on everything in sight. During one memorable

binge session, I gorged on a huge pizza with loads of meat

and cheese. I downed cheesy garlic bread, along with buffalo

wings and the blue cheese dressing that came with

them. Then, I drank an entire two-liter bottle of diet soda.

In my craze, I thought that would somehow make things

Better:

The more I drank diet soda instead of having nourishing 
foods like the ones I’m about to introduce you to, the worse
I felt. In fact,the hungrier and more crazed with cravings I 
became! Although I looked and felt like a python that swallowed 
an entire goat, I was still hungry. I kept on eating. In 
the morning, I felt like I had survived the worst day of my life.

Yes, I’d survived, but things were about to get even worse. I
decided to go on a college-sponsored summer trip to Peru,
a place I’d always wanted to go. I was bursting out of my clothes.
My belly hung over the waistband of my jeans, making me feel 
beyond uncomfortable and causing me to struggle to breathe. 
As our group made its way along, it wasn’t the beautiful mountain 
scenery I noticed most; it was the fact that I had to pause and rest 
after a mere five minutes of walking.

My usual way to deal with this discomfort would have been

to find my favorite comfort foods and placate myself with

them. But instead, I had to settle for local foods. Suddenly,

I was immersed in a world of drinks made with ripe, red

fruit, all smelling and tasting of exotic spices that the Incas

and Spanish prized like gold. Sometimes light and refreshing,

sometimes rich and creamy, these drinks somehow

kept me going. Soon I noticed that I never felt hungry, even

though I was subsisting on a diet consisting almost entirely

of these local drinks! Click here to get the program instantly
