Are Toxins Stalling Your Fat Loss?
By Karen Sessions NSCA-CPT
aka: MsFitYou have been dieting and exercising for months on end. You managed to lose about five to ten pounds the first several months, but now your weight loss has completely stalled dead in its tracks.
You cut your carbohydrates back and increased your cardio, hoping for a gleam of light next week when you step on the scale. Sadly, through all your hard work and adhering to a strict diet of tasteless foods, you don't see the scale move the slightest degree.
Push has come to shove. In addition to your low carbohydrates and excess cardio, you cut calories and invest in a top-of-the-line fat burner, only to see nothing has really changed.
Does this feel like the roller coaster you ride each week, every month, year after year? Are you just about sick and tired to putting 100% effort into your program only to receive minimal results?
Stop Look and Listen
Let's stop for a minute and examine some areas of your health, nutrition, and well-being. Maybe it's not anything you are doing wrong. Perhaps your body is not performing optimally. I'm sure you wonder how that can be. You say you eat right and exercise so that should make you lose weight. You are absolutely right. But we must first examine certain areas of nutrition and health in intricate detail to get to the source of your dilemma.
First, let's take a look at the average American. Today, more people are on diets now than ever before. More people are exercising formally than they ever have in history. Right now more people are taking dietary supplements to burn fat than ever before. Ironically, today, more people are overweight than ever. This should make you wonderStop Losing Faith and Start Losing FAT!
Diet Foods Are Making You Fat
Many people don't understand the concept of dieting or clean eating. A diet is not a restriction per se. It's basically what you eat each day, whether it is good or bad food choices. I also think many people misinterpret clean eating.
Eating Clean is NOT:
Healthy Choice Frozen Dinners
Low Fat Hot Pockets
Smart Ones Turkey and Green Bean Meals
Low-Fat Milk
Low-Fat Yogurt
Special K
Fat-Free CookiesCan you see where I am going with this? Anything that is man- made is not a quality weight-loss food item, or even nutritious for that matter. The above list contains processed foods. They don't contain any natural vitamins and minerals. The synthetic vitamins and minerals injected into the products can't be assimilated by the body because synthetic matter is a chemical, and your body cannot process chemicals.
The Heart of the Matter
To get to the source of why you are overweight or cannot lose weight is that your body is probably loaded with toxins. I would estimate that 95% of the population is toxic to some degree.
If you eat the typical diet, you are eating toxins. Anything man-made contains so many chemicals that Albert Einstein would be a deer caught in the headlights. Not only that, if you are, or have taken prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications, it has left toxins in your body. You breathe toxins in everyday and you rub them into your skin.
Toxic Personal Hygiene
All the commercial products you use to brush your teeth, wash your hair, clean your face andbody, as well as detergent contains toxic chemicals that rob your body of nutrients and when you lack nutrients, your body will not function as it should.
Are you curious as to what kind of toxins you could be rubbing into your skin or absorbing in your mouth? A few examples are Colgate, Herbal Essence, Salon Selectives, Aussie, Lubriderm, and Loreal, which contains Propylene Glycol, commonly known as Anti- Freeze. Ah yes, the FDA says it's okay to absorb Ant-Freeze into your body, but they want to ban us from taking basic vitamins, minerals, and herbs.
Here is the Warning Label on Anti-Freeze
HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CONTAINS ETHYLENEGLYCOL. Do not drink antifreeze or solution. If swallowed (Colgate toothpaste), do NOT induce vomiting. IMMEDIATELY contact a poison control center or physician. Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Ethylene glycol causes birth defects in laboratory animals. Wash thoroughly after handling.
In addition to this warning label, many toothpastes state that if a child under six swallows it, to contact poison control. Isn't that what children do, put everything in their mouth and taste everything? As for the adults, by the time we hit our thirties, we have been absorbing these toxins all our lives. It is any wonder that the average persons health and waistline goes downhill by thirty? It's not your fault. You've been deceived and you should be angry!
Get Rid of the Toxins and Get Rid of the Cellulite!
Toxins Effects
Toxins can slow fat loss, diminish muscle gains, decrease the metabolism, and drain you of energy. The toxins become trapped in the fatty tissues and cells in your body. The trapped toxins bloat you because they cause your body to retain fluid to dilute the foreign element. When these toxins fill your cells, they also trap fat in them and hold them there and prevent them from being utilized. The more the toxins build up, the more fat is stored in the cells.
To make matters worse, the toxins alter your bloods pH balance, making you more acidic. An acidic condition means you are very low on minerals and your body will not function optimally. In this acidic state, you cannot burn fat, are more prone to illnesses, and more apt to develop degenerative diseases, such as osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, etc.
How Do You Know If You Are Acidic?
You can easily determine your pH blood level by taking a saliva or urine test on a pH test stick or Litmus Paper. First morning samples are best. You can get a quality saliva reading about two hours after a meal as well.
Creating A Balance
Now that we know how easy it is to become toxic and how toxins can kill fat loss endeavors, it's time to do something about it!
If you can normalize your bloods pH level and bring it more to a neutral state, the cells will release the fat and allow for them to be burned. This, in turn, can increase your metabolism and energy, ignite fat loss, and in my opinion, reverse the aging process as well.
Most of the people on my forum know me on a one-on-one personal basis and they will tell you that I'm genuine and I'm for the people. I want to make people more aware and learn the truth about fat loss, health, and well-being. You cannot lose fat if your body is not functioning optimally and your body is not functioning optimally if you are acidic.
My AMAZING Discovery
With that, I want to tell you about a new product line that was presented to me a couple of weeks ago. These products are made with oxygenated water, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Your body is made up of water, oxygen and minerals... just like the Earth. You need these in balance to live and for your body to function correctly. When these are out of balance, you become acidic. Acid drives out oxygen, but oxygen and minerals drive out acid. If you can put oxygen and minerals back in the fastest way possible (skin and mouth), you can be healthy and lose weight at a much faster rate.
Please note that I'm not making any medical claims. I am only sharing a wealth of information and experiences.NatureRich is formerly known as The Master's Miracle.
Natural Soap NatureRich 100% Natural Soap is created with oxygenated water and minerals is great for washing your body, your hair, your teeth, your laundry, etc. With this natural soap, you will not be putting toxins into your body.
Neutralizer I believe this product is great for balancing the pH level (When your pH is balanced, your body is working 100% and you are more apt to burn body fat). Add the Neutralizer and Natural Soap to your bath water for a soothing and detoxing mineral bath. In addition, drink 7 to 14 drops of the Neutralizer morning and night. It's tasteless, as it's just oxygenated water and minerals. Also, kill bacteria on your tooth brush by soaking it in the Neutralizer.
Greens The Greens is a dietary supplement drink that is rich in 93 ingredients to support the immune system, liver, energize, etc. It's a WONDERFUL way to get your fiber and it's full of enzymes for nutrients and antioxidants to fight off nasty free radicals.
Gel I call the Gel the muscle rub. It's a pH balanced formula that you can apply this to aching muscles and joints. This product is great for the lactic acid in your muscles after a hard workout and is wonderful to apply to cuts and scrapes.
Moisturizer This is a natural moisturizer that is 100% toxin free. Stop rubbing Anti-Freeze into your skin and start rubbing minerals in that your body can use. It will thank you for it.

My Experience
I have been soaking in the NatureRich Soap and Neutralizer for almost a week. By the third day I noticed a mole I had at least since the 5th grade going away. It's down in size and shape.
I lost two pounds of body fat and didn't even change my diet or exercise program. It's my belief that fat was release from my cells and allowed to be burned.
My appetite has increased, but my business partner's appetite decreased. It's my opinion that due to the amount of muscle mass I have, my body was alerting me to eat so it doesn't catabolize. My business partner does not workout so she didn't require any additional calories.
One woman took part in daily soaks and in six months she lost 45 pounds... only by soaking. Nothing else. I believe the Neutralizer released fat from her cells and allowed them to be burned.
I personally applied the NatureRich Gel to my triceps where I had painful lactic acid built up. In five minutes the pain was reduced 60% and by the end of the day the pain was down approximately 90%. A second application would have removed the lactic acid pain completely.
I swear this is the last thing I wanted to get involved in, but I've seen so much positive changes that I want to share it. I'm all about telling the truth.
