Cleansing prior to or during a weight loss program has
been shown to increase success; both in terms of
the amount of weight lost and in keeping it off. A
thorough 30 day cleanse is not only useful for helping
lose excess weight, but is also an essential part of
achieving and maintaining good health. (A 15 day
cleanse is also available.)
A 30 day cleanse will help rid the body of toxins by stimulating your body's 7 channels of elimination (the liver, lungs, kidneys, blood, skin, and lymphatic system). By cleansing the body, it becomes more efficient. This plays a key factor in weight loss and weight control. This general cleanse will also help your body prepare for the increased physical activity that you are about to start. It works to improve your digestive system and enhance nutrient absorbtion. This in turn will help increase energy levels and metabolism - IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF WEIGHT LOSS AND MAINTENANCE - Dr. Brenda Watson, Naturopathic Doctor and Colon Therapist Renew Life's CleanseSmart Product (pictured) was Alive Magazine's Gold Award Winner for Best Herbal Supplement 2005 |

Ketosis is a metabolic state, more accurately called
benign dietary ketosis. When you initialy cut back on
carbohydrates, your body starts primarily burning fat
for energy. Fat is broken down into chemicals called
ketones, which are used by your muscles and other
cells for energy. Most of the cells in your body
can "burn" both glucose and ketones for energy
production, so your stored fat can be used for
energy. That's how you lose fat when you control
carbohydrates.
When your body burns fat very rapidly, some of the ketones escape into your breath and urine. The process is entirely normal; in fact, our bodies use ketones for energy when we are asleep. When you produce more ketones than you can burn, and extra ketones are excreted, then you are said to be in ketosis. Ketosis is a perfectly safe bodily function. Even on an overnight fast, a normal individual may produce ketones. Its worth noting that a 30 day fast (drinking water but eating no food) raises ketones to 10 times the levels experienced by individuals who are restricting carbohydrate intake. Benign dietary ketosis is often confused with the dangerous metabolic state called "ketoacidosis", which may occur in Type 1 diabetics with very high blood sugar or in severe alcoholics after a binge. |
