Following are twenty six ways for natural weight loss and to
lose weight easily.

1. Consume foods in the natural state when possible. This
includes raw, fresh fruits and vegetables (lots of leafy
green salads). Raw and non-processed foods are prime sources
of natural enzymes needed to stimulate the bodys endocrine
glands. Fruits and vegetables are also a natural source of
fiber which helps lose weight

2. Food programs should emphasize high protein content
obtainable from a variety of meat, dairy products, eggs,
cottage cheese, nuts, legumes, and yogurt. Its advantageous
to minimize the amount of fat with the protein. A basic rule
of thumb as far as meats are concerned -- if it swims, i.e.,
fish, its is better than if it flies, i.e., poultry, it is
better than if it walks, such as beef or pork.

3. When possible, use foods grown or raised without
poisonous chemical sprays or food additives. Wash fruit
thoroughly before eating. Enzymes from natural fruit help
lose weight.

4. Steam vegetables or cook with a minimum amount of water
and for as short a time as possible to minimize destruction
of vitamins.. Use that water for soups, broths... to lose
weight.

5. Eliminate or minimize the use of refined sugar such as
corn syrup, dextrose, sucrose, fructose, brown sugar, 10X
sugar. Substitute natural sweets such as unprocessed honey,
in moderation, or rose hips powder carob powder, blackstrap
molasses, date powder. Refined sugar affects the bodys
metabolism and over taxes the pancreas, and often results in
a hypoglycemia reaction. Use stevia as a natural substitute
for sugar (for baking purposes, one teaspoon stevia is
equivalent to one cup of sugar--very healthy way to lose
weight). Stay away from Nutrisweet or aspartame. At 92
degrees F it breaks down into formaldehyde.

6. Eliminate the use of bleached white flour products. The
valuable nutrients of the whole grain have been removed.
Frequently, bleaching and preservative agents are also added
that create disharmony with the body. The chemical
processing strips as much as 80% of the zinc, magnesium,
Vitamin A, and 50% of the manganese, just to name a few.
Whole grain cereals and flours are an excellent source of
protein as well as B complex vitamins, Vitamin B and
unsaturated fatty acids and are also important to keep your
colon healthy.

7. Avoid prepackaged breads, pastries, ice cream, cold or
prepared cured meats. These foods are saturated with
preservatives, artificial colorings, chemical flavoring
agents, synthetic emulsifiers, extenders, stabilizers, and
so on. Typical ones you'll find are MSG - monosodium
glutamate, nitrates, and nitrates, BVO (brominated vegetable
oil, EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetid acid), Thiourea in
dry or frozen fruit, artificial colorings, citrus red No2,
Violet No 1, red No. 40, Orange B, Red #3, Blue #1, Yellow
#5, and flavorings, (see #26)

8. Minimize fat intake and avoid trans saturated fats Youll
find these in anything that says, hydrogenated, or
partially hydrogenated.

All margarine and cooking oils, i.e., peanut oil, palm oil,
and animal fats are high in saturated fats which interfere
with the production of prostaglandin. In the absence of
prostaglandin, fats adhere to one another and create plaque
buildup in the arteries. Use sweet butter and
polyunsaturated oils such as rice bran oil and cold pressed
safflower oil. To remove particles from the oil before
bottling, manufacturers usually heat the oil so its easier
to filter, unfortunately, this alone destroys the nature of
the oil. Cold pressed, means that the oil was filtered at
room temperature. Avoid reusing oil, store it in the
refrigerator and break open a vitamin E capsule to add to it
every two weeks. Treat it as you would treat your arteries.

9. Avoid the use of carbonated soda and drinks containing
caffeine, such as coffee, tea and coke. Instead, where
possible consume fresh fruit juices, water and decaffeinated
herbal teas.

10. During times of the year when fresh vegetables are not
available, frozen vegetables are your next best choice as
they are frozen with liquid nitrogen and retain much of the
nutrients. Avoid canned vegetables and fruits, for they
usually are either overcooked or prepared in sugar or
fructose solution.

11. Minimize the use of normal table salt, such as sodium
chloride. Use Mortons salt substitute (high in potassium)
or onion, chive, garlic mushroom lemon and lie for useful
salt substitutes.

12. Avoid fast foods as they have salt and additives.
Eliminate use of carbonated beverages, club soda or seltzer.
They rob your body of calcium. Your calcium balance is
required for natural weight loss.

13. Prepare moderate quantities of food to minimize
leftovers for three reasons: A. Leftovers are tempting to
finish so they wont be left over. B. Leftovers, when
reheated, lose most of their nutrient value. C. Leftovers
are oxidized and interfere with normal functioning that
interferes with weight loss.

14. Use unsalted butter as opposed to margarine and where
possible minimize the use of butter. Instead season food
with herbs and spices and lose weight naturally.

15. Pan broil meats in a non-stick skillet without fat. Use
Pam.

16. Use canned fish packed in water.

17. Replace half the oil in salad dressing with broth or
water.

18. Use yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream.

19. Thicken soups and sauces with pureed vegetables instead
of flour or cornstarch.

20. Use bouillon instead of gravy on meats and casseroles.

21. Avoid using aluminum cookware as aluminum may be toxic
to the human body. (not proven yet)

22. Vitamins and herbs could make a difference. A well
balanced multi-vitamin in a rice bran base such as the
Complete Nutritional System by Rainbow Light. An effective
calcium and mineral supplement such as Xooma Coral Calcium
distributed by HTN can keep your body healthy and save you
the problems of any of 150 different diseases that are a
result of calcium deficiency. Most supplements on the market
are equivalent to licking a chalk board and leave one
deficient in calcium.

23. Eat fruits and drink fruit juice either hour before or
hour after meals to allow proper digestion of protein.

24. Microwave ovens are great for making hot water, but
questionable for cooking.

25. The nutritional value of dairy products, i.e., milk,
cheese and butter are questionable. If you do include them,
its recommended that you use skim milk and nonprocessed
cheeses to aid in losing weight naturally.

26. Ice cream -- Soy cream with fruit juice is recommended.
Otherwise, except your own homemade ice cream, youll find
gobs of sugar not to mention the real goodies such as #1.
deithyl glucol (used instead of eggs), #2. peperonal (used
instead of vanilla), #3. aldehyde 17 (cherry flavor), #4.
ethyl acetate, (pineapple flavor), #5. butyr aldehyde (nut
flavor), #6. amyl acetate (banana flavor), and #7. benzyl
acetate (strawberry). Other uses of these chemicals are #1.
antifreeeze and paint thinner, #2. kills lice, #3. dye for
plastics and lumber, #4. leather cleaner, #5. ingredient in
rubber cement, #6. oil paint solvent, #7. nitrate solvent.
Read the labels. Use stevia to make your own ice cream.

27 Since items # 21 and 24 are more for health than losing
weight, this item is worth both of them--EXERCISE. Moderate
exercise such as rebounding three times daily for three
minutes or brisk walking 20 minutes per day.

If you have difficulty applying and sticking with the twenty
six ways of losing weight, hypnosis is the next step to
losing weight naturally.
