I must agree that I have many of the same struggles with weight gain and I have felt like this year should be the year to end all years of weight loss resolutions. Mostly because I am running out of time before we start to think about #3 so after three months of no progress I'm thinking about some things.<BR/>Thing number one: More vegetables I mean lots more. Almost vegetarian. I read the PH miracle and it is really extream but it makes sense. So 20% meat 80% vegetables for meals. That for me is a new way of thinking. The basic principle in the book is that by making your blood more alkaline or basic you can have more energy help your digestive system, and in some cases beat cancer and other diseases. According to this guy cancer thrives in an acidic environment and meat, sugar, white bread all makes your blood more acidic.<BR/> Thing #2: A Colon cleanse. I feel sluggish and am having trouble even getting on the road to weight loss success. I've read up on colon cleanses and overall digestive health and all of those thing and many others have been linked to build up of mucus in the colon. This inhibits the absorbtion of nutrients and causes lots of problems. Anyway there is a section in the PH miracle book and I've read other things on line. So yeah colon clenses.<BR/>Thing 3: Acai berry? Hype or is there something too it? That is still to be determined.<BR/><BR/>note: I am in no way shape or form an expert and my comments are a personal opinion based on what I have read. If any of you find these things interesting I would encourage you to check them out for yourself.
