3 Important Factors in the Top Secret Fat Loss Secret!

By Caitlin Ryan

Lowering your food intake and increasing exercise is the correct way to lose weight, but many of us don't lose weight by adjusting that weight loss equation. The rising obesity number suggests that something is awry with the way we attempt to lose weight.

Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst points out these factors in her book Top Secret Fat Loss Secret. As a nutritionist, I can point out 3 of the important factors in Dr. Gudakunst's book that will in fact help you lose weight and keep it off for good. She discusses some of the mystery behind weight gain and why our lifestyles contribute to those obesity numbers.

There are 3 components of Top Secret Fat Loss Secret that you should know about.

Colon cleansing is important for weight loss to occur. Though colon cleansing seems like a fad, it does have a lot of merit providing you also follow the latter advice in Dr. Gudakunst's book to keep your colon clean and your body detoxed for good. Theres more to colon cleansing and weight loss than a simple cleansing product.

An unhealthy colon can contain as much as 5-25 pounds of extra weight. We lead sedentary lives and eat a poor diet which contributes to the backing up of our digestive system. Overtime, that back-up creates quite a toxic problem and lends to weight gain.

If your digestive system is in a slow, sluggish state due to excessive fecal material left in your colon, two things take place. For one, you tend to store more fat when food is not allowed to move quickly through the digestive system. The other problem is that you become malnourished because nutrients from the foods you eat are not being digested properly. Your body attempts to get the nutrients it needs by putting in requests to your brain (a.k.a. cravings).

Toxic colons also contain parasites. These parasites spread toxins throughout the body and cause many problems that negatively affect our ability to lose weight. Weight loss is difficult when your body is not working properly. Toxins can cause fatigue, anxiety, irritability, poor heart health and increased infections and illnesses.

Another reason why I think Top Secret Fat Loss Secret is fantastic advice is that she tells you what foods have done this to your colon in the first place so you can correct the problem for good. Our diets are high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fat, yet low in fiber.

Dr. Gudakunst recommends that you switch out the processed and refined carbs with nutrionally sound choices that contain plenty of fiber; however, she recommends that you do this over time rather than all at once. You need time to adapt to the change and by doing things the right way, you will learn to enjoy these foods and keep your colon healthy. This in turn will help your permanent weight loss efforts.

Finally, Dr. Gudakunst has some really great bonus tips on keeping the weight off for good. She has 8 simple tips on weight loss and weight management that I found very useful. She talks about exercise and how we can find that path to start exercising and keep exercising for life.

It is important that diet books give real weight loss advice that can be followed. It should also improve your overall health. Dr. Gudakunst was able to do that with Top Secret Fat Loss Secrets! - 15255
