Detoxification is a process that will get you after you lost a lot of weight. Detoxification is something your body does on a daily basis. Like the plumbing in your bathroom, you never think twice about it as long as it is in good working order. As soon as there is a back up of waste any aspect of health can be compromised. What happens in any city when the garbage trucks go on strike?

Trash comes from normal cellular waste products, pollution, digestive imbalance, stress, increased physical activity, poor diet, illness, injury/accidents, prescription medications, smoking, overuse of alcohol, lack of sleep, etc. You must understand the primary systems in your body that remove this trash if you are to manage your health effectively.

Many environmental toxins are fat soluble. When your body can’t clear them effectively they not only disrupt fat soluble hormones and metabolism – but these poisons store in your fat – often promoting weight gain as a defense mechanism against vital organs being poisoned. This poses a problem for individuals who are having difficulty losing weight or breaking through a stubborn weight-loss plateau. Unless detoxification pathways are working correctly weight loss efforts may fail.

Common symptoms of trash removal problems are fatigue, headaches, dark circles or bags under the eyes, irritability (like a poisoned feeling), being too negative too often (like looking at the world through a toxic pair of sunglasses), constipation/diarrhea, hemorrhoids, foul smelling stools, unpleasant body odor, skin problems, dry skin, acne, shoulder tightness, excess mucous, excess congestion, stuffy sinuses, sensitivity to chemicals or fumes, fluid retention, and cellulite formation.

The most basic way to soak up toxins in a bulk manner is by having adequate dietary fiber. This creates a sponge affect – literally absorbing toxins and getting rid of them.

I came to this understanding about a month ago. My weightloss stalled and I was feeling sick like I had a cold or the flu. My shoulder were heavy and I had a headache (cloged lymphnodes). This took about 3 weeks before it was diminishing. Now I understand the fact that the toxins were being released as there was no fat to release anymore.
