Top Weight Loss Secret

Having tried all of the celebrity diets going at one time or another, the one thing that I did that paid the most dividends in terms of permanent weight loss was to eat nothing but fruit every day before noon. If you do this there is every chance you will lose weight and keep it off permanently.

The theory is that when you eat nothing but fresh fruit before noon, you are not putting an undue burden on your elimination system so that your body eliminates waste properly. The result of consuming a heavy breakfast is it causes the body to divert valuable energy away from elimination to use on digestion, thereby compromising your body's elimination cycle. I really found this to be very true. By just eating lots of fresh fruit I definitely felt "lighter" and had more energy than the days I used to have a coffee and a bagel with cream cheese every breakfast time.

The other important rule is that you should not eat anything else except fruit during the hours before noon. If you do this, the result will be that the contents of your stomach will start to ferment. The knock-on effect of this is that the body will need more energy to digest the food. Fruit only stays in your stomach for a very short period of time. Usually thirty minutes maximum. So that is how long you should wait before consuming any other food. I usually go for lunch at around 12.30 so this regimen is perfect.

If you want to really see some noticeable results very quickly, you should also for the rest of the day try to avoid mixing carbohydrates and proteins in the same meal. There has been lots written about this subject but it basically follows a simple principle laid down in the 1930s by the renowned nutritionist Hay. The basic idea is that concentrated protein causes acidic gastric juices to be produced whereas carbohydrates cause alkaline gastric juices to be produced in the stomach. If you have a mix of the two, Hay argues, you neutralize the pH in your stomach which means your body needs to spend much more energy in digestion that it would if the foods were kept separate. You can find much more on the topic of proper food combining by just doing a quick Google search. It has been my experience that eating only fresh fruit before noon, coupled with this way of eating has had a profoundly positive impact on my weight and how I feel in general.

Hopefully this article has proved informative. Before making any change to your diet you should always let your doctor know what you are planning to do.
