Find Your Own Ideal Weight

Over and over again, I hear people say that they lost weight when they started on a raw foods diet. Most of them weren't even trying to lose weight. It's just that raw foods help the body eliminate toxins that trigger fat storage, so the excess pounds drop away effortlessly along with the toxins.

When I first discovered how easy it is to lose weight by eating a balanced raw-foods diet, I wasn't trying to lose weight, either. I was just looking for a healthier diet and I like to experiment. I only had a few extra pounds to lose, but I was amazed to find that I could eat as much as I wanted and still lose weight until I stabilized at my ideal weight.

I ate lots of fresh fruits, green salads, vegetable smoothies/soups, avocados, olives, nuts, seeds, and salad dressings. According to Raw Foods expert and sports nutritionist Dr. Douglas N. Graham, the ideal balance is 80% or more carbohydrates (mainly from raw fruits), 3-9% protein (mainly from leafy greens), and 3-9% fats (mainly from vegetables and seeds). If you want to lose weight faster, just cut back on the fatty foods until you reach your ideal weight. Read The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr. Douglas N. Graham

I don't stay on a 100% raw foods diet, because it is inconvenient when sharing meals with others. Even so, I find that sticking to at least 80% raw foods (and avoiding junk foods) insures a high level of health and vitality, while keeping my weight in the ideal range.

Hormones and Weight Gain

There is a strange thing that happens as we all get older. Our hormone levels change. Suddenly it becomes easier to gain weight and harder to lose it. Before I discovered raw foods, I was approaching menopause with a slow but steady weight gain. I tried eating less and exercising more, but still the pounds were adding up, just a couple pounds a year, and my attempts at dieting and exercise didn't seem to make any difference!

In my research, I've learned that it is actually a good thing for women to gain about ten pounds at menopause, because this helps moderate hormone swings. Very thin women have a much harder time with hot flashes and mood swings during menopause. It would do them good to put on a few pounds, but gaining more than ten pounds can be detrimental to health.

At one point, I exceeded the ten pound gain - and kept going. That was scary, because there seemed to be no end in sight! I had easily maintained my ideal weight for thirty years and suddenly it wasn't so easy anymore.

No amount of dieting or exercise seemed to help - until I discovered the raw foods secret. What a relief it was to find that a simple change to a healthier diet could make such a difference!! Raw foods made it easy to return to my ideal weight.

Reaching & Maintaining
Your Ideal Weight

Everyone is born with a different body type. Some are naturally tall and slender; others are more muscular and stocky. But no matter what body type you have, you can easily achieve the weight and health that is ideal for you. That is the weight at which you FEEL BEST.

The way to determine your ideal weight is to pay attention to your level of health and vitality. You may weigh more than your friend, but still be a lot healthier. If you are physically active and your immune system is strong, which means you rarely get sick, you may not need to lose weight at all.

Don't try to force your body into somebody else's mold. Doing so will undermine your immune system and create unhealthy stress and frustration.

Hot Tips for Trimming the Fat

Notice that I tend to use terms like "trimming the fat," "shedding extra pounds," and "dropping excess weight." Your subconscious mind is listening to every word you read, think, and speak.

When you repeatedly use words like "weight loss" and "losing weight," you give the subconscious the message that you have lost something, or you are going to lose something. Think of that literally. Something lost needs to be found, so your subconscious may immediately go about trying to find and replace every pound you lose!

Here are some practical steps
you can take to shed those extra pounds:

* Start your day with a good multi-vitamin & mineral supplement. I recommend Vitamin Code raw, food-based vitamins, or Ola Loa brand vitamins that you mix with water and drink, because they are excellent quality and easily absorbed. When you know your nutritional "bases are covered," you won't subconsciously seek to fill the gaps by eating more than you really need. You will also be providing your body with energizing B vitamins, cancer-preventing Vitamin D, and potent antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E to help eliminate the toxins that cause your body to store fat. (If you stay on a long-term, garden-fresh, balanced, organic, raw foods diet, you will no longer need to take supplements.)
drink your greens

* Drink your breakfast. Start your day with fresh, raw juice if you have a juicer, or whip up a smoothie in your blender from raw fruits and dark leafy greens. This is a great way to get the greens you need without constantly eating salads. Add herbs, miso, Braggs Liquid Aminos, or other natural flavorings to create delicious raw soups. I especially like curry flavored soups.

* Soak about half a cup of Goji berries for about two hours and have them for lunch. You'll be amazed how satisfied you will feel all afternoon - and they pack a potent antioxidant wallop to help eliminate fat-collecting toxins from your body.

* Raw, raw, raw! Eat everything and anything fresh and raw. If you get bored or run out of ideas for meals, there are excellent raw food preparation books available like The Raw Gourmet, by Nomi Shannon and Brian Clement. Trust your intuition and pay attention to how you feel and you will be guided to the best balanced diet for you.

* Eat Seaweeds! Iodine deficiency is one of the most common causes of gaining weight. All types of edible seaweeds are rich in iodine, as well as the other minerals necessary for health. Deep ocean water contains the perfect balance of minerals, and seaweeds reflect that perfect balance.

* Chocolate is not a "no no" IF you eat it raw! In fact raw chocolate is a highly nutritious food that has more antioxidant power than just about any other food. Try adding raw cacao powder to smoothies, or make a trail mix with cracked cacao nibs and goji berries. It's a delicious way to dump that extra weight! (None of that commercial chocolate, though!) If you need a little sweetener with your raw chocolate, try raisins, raw agave nectar, or raw honey. Read David Wolfe's Naked Chocolate.

Note: Too much chocolate, raw or otherwise, may deplete mineral reserves.

All things in moderation!

* Eat a variety of raw, fresh, whole, natural foods, including leafy greens, juicy fruits, and a small amount of fatty foods such as nuts, avocados, and olives. Limit the fats until you reach your ideal weight, but don't eliminate them completely, because they are essential for your health.

* Rotate Greens. Leafy greens should make up about 30% of your diet (whether you are trying to lose weight or not). Greens can be mixed with fruits or fats to make them more palatable. Be sure to eat a variety of different greens. For ideas visit my Amazon Store health books section.
Start with Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko.

* Include flax seeds (grind in a coffee grinder), hemp seeds, or flax oil for healthy Omega Fatty Acid balance. Too much flax can cause estrogen dominance, so limit intake to about two tablespoons of oil or 1/4 cup of ground seeds per day.

* Drink LOTS of pure water to flush out toxins released as your body eliminates excess fat - at least two quarts per day. Important

Note: Drinking from plastic water bottles can cause cause estrogen dominance that can cause weight gains.

If you follow these tips, you are guaranteed to reach your ideal weight in a safe, healthy way.

Using EFT and Law of Attraction
for Weight Management

The Golden Stairs - Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones

As with everything else in life, your mind is by far the biggest factor in achieving healthy body weight. We all run into problems when one part of our mind, the conscious part, makes a decision, (i.e. to get in shape, or to slim down), and another part, the subconscious, has conflicting ideas!

The subconscious is a much bigger and stronger force than our conscious decisions. It contains everything we have ever seen or heard, advertisements, comments by parents, teachers, and friends, and all the thoughts and fears we have ever entertained.

What does that have to do with weight issues?

Everything!

* We might have picked up beliefs about how hard it is to lose weight, because our mother often complained about her struggles, and our inner child still wants to be like her.

* We might eat just to fill a need for nurturing that we never got as children.

* Our subconscious fears can cause us to gain weight as a way of armoring ourselves against the pain of rejection, difficult relationships, loss of love, sexual vulnerability, or any number of other fears.

* Anxiety about fitting in to a society obsessed with appearances could cause a rebellious urge to "pig out" and not be controlled by others.

Your Subconscious Mind Is Running the Show!

There are innumerable reasons (which are not reasonable at all) that cause the subconscious mind to sabotage our conscious choices, but the bottom line is that they are always designed to help or protect us in some way.

Did you get that? I'll say it again, just to make sure you did, because it's important.

Your subconscious mind is always trying to help and protect you, even when it goes against your conscious choices!

The problem is that it doesn't always understand what is best for you. You have to educate it. That's where EFT and Law of Attraction come in.

Law of Attraction is a law of the Universe that basically states: Whatever you focus your thoughts on will become your reality. Your thoughts attract your reality. So if you keep thinking things like, "I'm too fat. I'm so overweight. I can't fit into my jeans. I can't lose weight no matter how hard I try," those thoughts will become your reality - or continue to be your reality.

The way to get OUT of that reality
is to stop paying attention to it!

* Focus your thoughts on ANYTHING else.

* Distract yourself with friends, pets, activities, movies, books, walks, bike rides, or anything else that won't remind you of your weight issues.

* Appreciate everything you can find to appreciate.

* Think about only what you like about your body.

* STOP telling others that you are on a diet, or you need to lose weight! Just don't talk about it at all.

Not so easy? That's why I mentioned EFT.

Everyone is different, so you may have different subconscious beliefs and fears than someone else, but if you can uncover the subconscious factors that are running your life, you can quickly and easily release them with EFT. The best way to do that is to listen to your own words and thoughts.

Beliefs are simply thoughts that you keep thinking! Once you recognize them and question them, they will lose their power to run your life.

You can use EFT to counteract your limiting beliefs, by stating your belief and then stating the truth as you want it to be.

Here are a few set up phrases you might want to "tap" on. See if they ring true for you:

* Even though I believe I am too fat, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway. (Refer to EFT page for complete instructions.)

* Even though I've always been overweight, I choose to allow my body to find it's ideal, healthy weight now.

* Even though I've gained all this weight, I know I still have a beautiful, slender body inside.

* Even though I have this fear that men (women) will "hit on me" if I lose weight, I love and accept myself just the way I am.

* Even though I hate the way I look in the mirror, I accept that I am beautiful inside and out.

* Even though my mother was fat, and my father was fat, I can create my own slender reality!

* Even though most people get fatter with age, I choose to be like the healthy ones who remain slim.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Listen to your own "self-talk" and use your own words to create set-up phrases unique to you. If you need some assistance, I will be happy to walk you through the steps to a slimmer, healthier YOU.
