Recent estimates suggest that people are gaining weight despite efforts to the contrary.  Could it be possible that the chemicals in our food, skin care, and detergents is making us fat?

The foundation for most reducing diets is based on the theory that consuming fewer calories than the body needs will force the body to burn up fat stores.

Could it be time to look beyond this and look at the root of weight gain?

One’s own natural weight control system is being poisoned by the toxins that we come into contact with during everyday living.  This damage makes it more and more difficult for our bodies to maintain a healthy weight and people end up gaining weight even if they consume less food.

Following a detox diet will teach us how to avoid the most fattening chemicals in food and in household products.  When we learn how to get rid of the body’s stored chemicals we can learn how to rebuild the body’s natural slimming system.

Synthetic chemicals work against us in two ways.

1. By poisoning us through exposure to large quantities (leads to sometimes violent reactions that are responsible for 222,000 fatalities each year).
2. By long term exposure at much lower levels.

Toxic chemicals (even in very small amounts) can damage muscles and disrupt hormones that control growth.  They interfere with metabolic processes and inhibit the body’s natural slimming systems.

The best thing to do is to replace foods, skin care, cosmetic, and household products that contain toxic synthetic chemicals with organic products.  Also, the highest levels of slimming  nutrients are present in fresh organic produce.
