Two steps to a slimmer you!
Step One: Cool Down Inflammation, and Burn Off the Fat
Research now supports the fact that there is a direct relationship between chronic inflammation and weight gain. The result is a vicious cycle that most dieters never end up escaping.
Excess fat causes increased inflammation, while inflammation releases hormones that create even more fat.
And the only way to stop the cycle is to reduce chronic inflammation.
Here are a couple of actions you can take now.
- Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.
- Learn stress management techniques, like meditation.
- Perform some exercise almost every day, even if it is simply walking.(PILATES<PILATES<PILATES)
- Load up on these anti-inflammatory spices: garlic, onions, curcumin, and basil.
- Try reducing your intake of grains, especially wheat.(eliminate this modern processed wheat)
- Restore nature’s fat balance.
And the number one recommendation for reducing inflammation is to take a high quality Omega-3 Fish Oil… at least 2.4 grams a day.( be certain to choose an Omega oil that is preserved with a high quality essential oil and in a dark container)
Step Two: Reduce Inflammation by Restoring Nature’s Optimal Fat Balance
The standard western diet has caused our fat stores to become seriously out of balance… leading to the chronic inflammation that makes it almost impossible to lose weight.
One of the biggest culprits is our ratio of omega-6/omega-3 essential fatty acids. We evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids close to 1 to 1, and the problem is that the typical western diet has a ratio of at least 15 to 1 in favor of omega-6 fatty acids.
Aside from eating too many omega-6 fatty acids, we are chronically deficient in our intake of absorbable omega-3 fatty acids. This leads to chronic inflammation, heart disease, and other chronic diseases.1
So the solution is to lower your intake of omega-6 fatty acids, and increase your omega-3 fatty acid intake by consuming fish (not farm raised), Organic vegetables grass-fed beef, and taking a high quality Omega-3 fish oil.
