DETOXIFICATION PROCESS AND WHAT TO EXPECT

Do not expect drastic changes quickly, although it is often the case. To change the way your body processes have been operating takes time. How long have you had your condition? Lasting changes take time. Stick with your decision and program and you will reach your goal. Cleansing and purification program have significant positive effects on your body, while allowing harmful toxins and byproducts of daily metabolism to be eliminated.

During this process, it is possible you may not feel your best. Usually these effects last for a short time, but you must be aware of the possibility of experiencing headaches, unusual bowel movements, a coated tongue, spots on the skin, rushes, or pimples, unusual body odor, and fatigue. These symptoms may be relieved by drinking more water, doing enemas, skin brushing, taking sauna, etc. Also during the program you may feel more emotional than usual. Mindfully address all mental, emotional, and spiritual issues that may arise. Take a long walk, talk to a friend or to somebody you can share your feelings with, get massage, write down how you feel. Through the program keep your goal in mind, your reward will be healthier, more energetic, and happier you.

In addition to other procedures you must move your body. We measure the amount of energy of the food in calories. Calorie means heat. The more heat we generate through the day the more calories we use up. If your intake of energy (food) for the day is more than we use during that day our body will store it for the future. The most efficient way to store the energy is to turn it into fat until it's needed. The way to remove fat from your body is to change the amount of energy/food and the amount and quality of movement. During the movement there is a specific range of the heart rate when body burns the fat most efficiently. The formula to find out your optimal rate is:

(220-your age number) x 65% = Fat Burning Heart Rate

During you exercise you should keep this heart rate for ½ to 1 hour per day during your program, if you have weight loss in mind. Any exercise is acceptable (walking, running, jumping, bicycling, treadmill etc) as long as you keep around your FBHR.
