Part I: The older we are, the more our livers have had a chance to become “loaded with toxins” or even “fatty”.
Weight held on the abdomen may indicate a FATTY LIVER.
SOURCE: Ann Louise Gittleman, who has a Masters Degree in Nutrition Education, is a certified nutrition specialist, and an author of several books on nutrition and health.
In an article, Ann Louise Gittleman states that “people with a roll of fat at the waist line, even those who are thin, may have a fatty liver problem.
”The liver becomes overloaded and stops processing fat and begins to store it under the skin.
”Hormone imbalances develop, triggering additional weight gain along with fluid retention. Unable to properly control blood sugar, a toxic liver can lead to hypoglycemia and intense sugar cravings.
”Unfiltered toxins may linger in the blood stream draining energy, and promoting the appearance of cellulite.
”Weight loss efforts are blocked when the liver is sluggish.
”To correct this, the liver needs to be detoxed!”
The following is based on Ms. Gittleman’s recommendations, but with using SHAKLEE:
Follow for a minimum of 14 days…(It can be done longer)
1. SHAKLEE Basics (soy protein, multi-vitamin, B-complex, Vita C, Vita E)
2. DTX
3. Optiflora
4. GLA
5. Upon waking and before going to Bed have a “Life Long Cocktail” – which emulsifies fat globules in the lymph system that haven’t been processed by the liver before they are stored in the fat cells. This cocktail also helps to eliminate celulite! The cocktail is composed of 8 ounces of Best Water, 1 1/2 oz unsweetened Cranberry Juice, and 1 tsp of Fiber Plan. (This takes a little getting used to.)
6. Have 8 ounces of CRAN WATER with breakfast, 20 minutes before lunch, and again 20 minutes before Dinner. To make CRAN WATER take a 32oz bottle – fill with 4 oz of Unsweetened Cranberry Juice (from health food store) and 28 oz of water – shake well.
7. Take 8 oz protein each day – Use Instant Protein, Energizing Protein.
8. Have an unlimited amount of raw or steamed low sugar veggies.
9. Have two servings of fruit daily
10. Eliminate all Dairy and Wheat as they often irritate body tissues, worsening fluid retention. At the end of the two weeks begin slowly adding back unrefined carbs such as whole grain toast, peas, squash, etc.
11. Be sure to drink a minimum of 8- 8 ounce glasses of Best Water daily
12. Include 2 Tbsp. Flax seed oil in your diet each day.
