Does anyone know a weight loss strategy???

Hi, I am 23 years old and have been gaining on pounds and this is getting to me. The thing is that after several efforts of exercise and dieting, I don’t seem to get any slimmer! There are many ways to lose weight, but I have exhausted all the ways I know. I have consulted a few people but all of them have been telling me the same thing. It isn’t helping me and only making my fears worse.

Is there some way to make me feel better!!!

path less traveled

Firstly, stress can contribute to weight gain - so, try and relax and know that you have plenty of time to reach your goals.

Secondly, all good health starts in the colon - if the colon becomes imbalanced you will not absorbed nutrients as well so your body will continually tell you that it is hungry. Magnifying this problem is harmful parasites that proliferate in an unhealthy colon - stealing even more nutrients and energy.

Start eating more and more natural fibers and visit the garden of life website - they have good info on hso's and colon health.

Also - there is always an emotional aspect to any health condition. Are you holding on to excess ideas, emotions or people in your life that you don't need right now? Do you find it difficult to let go? Is there a fear of 'not enough' in your psyche?

Start exploring these two avenues and you will be well on your way.

It is much more important to be healthy and happy than thin. Maybe you should try meditation. There is something making you feel unsatisfied and that could be the reason of your problem.

Could you post it here if what kind of diet and exercise are you doing so that we can give you an advised aside from what you have done before.

Hi, I do not know how much raw you are eating but this might help-- I eat raw food until the evening every day, just raw, nothing cooked -- fruit, salads, nuts, soaked oats and raisins, raw houmous, check out the rawfood recipes on this website. ofcourse the more raw the better and somedays I'm 100% raw, occasionally a week. But other days I have a healthy cooked meal. Do not eat raw food on top of cooked because it ferments and causes all sorts of problems. Allow 2 hours atleast before going to bed without eating, (have an apple or something really little if you want) or it sits in your digestive system all night. and are you really hungry or perhaps thirsty? I hope some of this helps.
