I recall negative things people said when I was young. Toxic thoughts and beliefs can hold you back from enjoying yourself and life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-If you want to vent about how you feel about your body, talk to a super close friend, therapist, heath coach, or personal trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-It\u2019s ok not to love how you look, but you can still love yourself. What you look like is different than who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-For a confidence boost, put on something flattering that makes you feel good, and remember that the people who love you love you not because of what you look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post may contain carefully selected affiliate links including Amazon Associates, that I may earn small amounts from.

Challenge yourself to lift as heavy as you can, that allows you to do about 5-8 reps with correct form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-When doing core \/ pelvic floor exercises, don\u2019t hold your breath. I highly recommend discussing these with a specialist such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rechargedperformancetherapy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this one<\/a> called Recharged Performance Therapy that I have used. I get no benefit of sharing. She does virtual appointments if you aren\u2019t near her area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Some of the gadgets I use at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Adjustable dumbbell.

Amazon associates link: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43XnRVQ\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/43XnRVQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Occlusion\/ blood flow restriction bands (note that the ones I have aren\u2019t available anymore. I tried other brands that had a strong toxic smell, so these might too.) I didn\u2019t explain in my video, but there is research showing that when you wear these, it can help build muscle with lower weight resistance, so you can avoid using heavy weights that may stain your joints. Amazon associates link: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NyCl7A\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NyCl7A<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Pilates ring (note that this isn\u2019t the exact brand I have).

If I were to buy a new one, I would get one from this Lifepro brand. This one has a handle for balance, or you can get one without it. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/431bTeu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/431bTeu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I also use a small rebounder trampoline. This Needak brand has previously been vetted to be lead-free. It is a big pricy, so if you look into other brands maybe just see if they have information about heavy metals. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4jEUUWx\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/4jEUUWx<\/a>. For larger trampolines, Springfree is said to be a better brand, toxicity wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I forgot to mention this in the video, but I did make a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/100063553901007\/posts\/pfbid0R7uhu8MnU12gcUfCWx2ZdifcL3rbkSHXmDxtugQFJsdBFyzRr4KULoCRKbKkHtfAl\/?mibextid=cr9u03\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post<\/a> for toxicity considerations about the materials of workout gear: Avoid anything strong smelling, vinyl coated, and galvanized steel. Fake leather material used on workout machines and benches often contains lead. The EVA foam used for most gym floor mats is also toxic. For yoga mats, see my <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/18\/yoga-mats-non-toxic-and-eco-friendly-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post<\/a> for less-toxic options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*From this point on isn\u2019t explained in the video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHY IT\u2019S DIFFICULT TO LOSE WEIGHT:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-Because of most people\u2019s lifestyles in the USA, they will slowly gain weight over time. If you change your diet OR exercise habits, sometimes people can halt the weight gain but have a very hard time keeping more than a few pounds off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2043 This is often because of the \u201cset point\u201d which is misunderstood. It is not necessarily the ideal weight for you and is not set in stone for life. Basically, your body gets used to whatever weight you are, and comes to think of it as normal. Your body strives to maintain this weight, so it resists losing more than a few pounds. I encourage you to look further into it and how you can break past it to lose fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-The \u201cstandard American diet (SAD) is nutritionally horrible. I\u2019ve seen statistics showing that most people in this country are likely pre diabetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I believe the \u201ceverything in moderation\u201d attitude is a slippery slope and personally don\u2019t say it. There has been actual research showing that most people don\u2019t truly know what moderation is and therefore don\u2019t actually practice it. Instead it gets used as an excuse to eat whatever you want, or a lot of little bits of bad things that add up to a lot, and often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Another mistake people make is rewarding their exercise efforts with junk food, which can effectively cancel out fat loss potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Temporary \u201cdiets\u201d (as in, when people say \u201cI\u2019m going on a diet) don\u2019t work because any benefits gained will only be temporary if you go back to the eating habits you had that made you overweight in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-However, overly ridgid or specific diet plans (such as the ones that outline exact meals for the week) don\u2019t work because they are unrealistic to be able to sustain. They ignore your changing preferences for what you feel like eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-They also seem to forget the very powerful biological programming known as HUNGER, which should not be underestimated. Most people can\u2019t simply \u201cwillpower\u201d their way around hunger, at least not for long. So what happens if you\u2019re still hungry after your prescribed salad, 1 apple and 7 cashews (I\u2019ve actually seen that printed in a magazine as part of a diet plan)? You might get overwhelmed and confused thinking about the diet menu plan, the calorie and carb counts, and simply throw your hands up and decide to eat cheese fries, because since you\u2019re going outside the plan anyway, might as well go big right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Unhealthy seed\/ vegetable\/ soy oils may lead to stored fat that is nearly impossible to lose, because it is so processed that it isn\u2019t fully digestible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">REASONS TO CHANGE DIET THAT AREN\u2019T ABOUT FAT LOSS:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; You literally are what you eat. Cells in your body continually regenerate and replace themselves using new material from what you put in your body. Do you want to be composed of hearty real food, or toxic processed junk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Rethink what is really a food; just because you can swallow something doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s really a food. I don\u2019t even think of things like Doritos as food anymore (and that helps much more than relying on \u201cwillpower\u201d to resist eating junk food).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-You don\u2019t need food per say; you need nutrients. They are needed for your brain, energy, skin, etc. If you eat processed, nutrient-devoid \u201cfood\u201d products instead of nutritious real food, you can suffer in many ways (including your looks). Note that this is an important factor for how to gain weight in a healthy way too; Focus on nutrients, not calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Eating healthy and exercising are the best things you can do for your skin and mental health! I\u2019m 40 years old and don\u2019t have any wrinkles or acne, and I think the main reason for that is my fitness and healthy eating lifestyle, plus the avoidance of toxicants. Before I started living this way, I had terrible acne, depression, and other health issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-\u201cCalories in, calories out\u201d is NOT all there is to it. Counting calories ignores powerful hormones, and the nutritional and toxicant load of foods. Also, a restrictive diet and mindset has detrimental effects on weight loss. This <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zPn7osZYjjU?si=_Hlwv2pFtMW9pyDR\">video<\/a> explains it well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE HUNGRY ALL THE TIME:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-Advice to eat less or eat smaller portions is bad advice. If you don\u2019t eat enough to feel satiated you will constantly be hungry and if you constantly eat or snack, you keep your insulin high, in fat storage mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I also don\u2019t do fasting. I\u2019ve heard that the research on fasting has only been done on men, and that it may not be good for women. Women have hormones that kind of freak out if you try to fast for long periods or exercise without some form of nourishment beforehand. For me personally it makes me ravenous the whole day. I eat when I start getting hungry and within an hour of waking, upon recommendation from my doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-What works for me is eating full meals of healthy meat and veggies. Don\u2019t snack, because every time you eat, your body releases insulin, a fat storage hormone. Avoid starchy carbs (such as grains, rice and potatoes) as much as possible. Personally I don\u2019t eat any dairy or gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEALTHY EATING:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-I do not recommend calorie or carb counting at all. If you eat only healthy foods, you can eat until you are full and satisfied and not worry about counting anything. I personally generally eat a Paleo style of eating, so I eat as much protein, veggies and fat as I want, with small\/ occasional starchy carbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I avoid sugars as much as possible. Fruit is ok sometimes. It\u2019s better than processed sugar but is still sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I try to space my meals 3 hours apart or more, to give time for proper digestion and insulin normalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Counting calories or carbs is problematic for many reasons. One is simply how difficult it is to really know exactly how many calories you eat unless you weigh every component of your meals and ingredients. Even more importantly, not all calories are created equal. Basing your diet choices based on only calories could leave you malnourished. Worst of all, only thinking about the calorie or carb content of food makes all foods seem \u201cbad.\u201d The Atkins low carb diet hit its peak when I was a teenager, and made me think that certain vegetables were bad for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Don\u2019t drink soda, juice, or any sweetened drink (including coffee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Don\u2019t fall into the trap of: \u201cI\u2019ll start after this next holiday, or after we use up all the junk food already in our house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I don\u2019t recommend doing regularly scheduled \u201ccheat days.\u201d Your body doesn\u2019t know that Saturday\u2019s \u201cdon\u2019t count.\u201d It all counts. Taking two steps forward and one leap back won\u2019t get you very far. The biggest danger of doing cheat days is binging, to get all you can in your one day \u201coff.\u201d It\u2019s ok to have treats once in a while, but don\u2019t make a whole regularly scheduled day out of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-As far as cravings, I do NOT believe they stem from nutrient deficiencies except in rare cases. Cravings come from habits and good memories of yummy food. If you\u2019re trying to reduce or eliminate certain foods, make your experiences with them less pleasant. For instance, don\u2019t put cream or sugar in your coffee, or eat unsweetened chocolate instead of truffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT ABOUT WHEN I\u2019M TRAVELING OR NOT AT HOME?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-I NEVER eat fast food. Ever. Even when I\u2019m traveling, or have a busy day and get hungry. I plan in advance and bring my own healthy snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-See my posts on <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2022\/04\/18\/healthy-snacks-treats-for-on-the-go-school-or-holidays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eating out\/ fast food<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2022\/02\/02\/my-very-healthy-recipes\/\">healthy recipes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2022\/04\/18\/healthy-snacks-treats-for-on-the-go-school-or-holidays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">snack<\/a> lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-When you eat out, make the best choice you can out of what is available. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask to modify and pick and choose from the menu. Don\u2019t go to buffets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Free food isn\u2019t free. It will cost you in other ways: Your health and your waistline! This includes free samples, free food at events, meetings, parties, office snacks, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-When at parties or other people\u2019s houses, get used to politely saying no repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I almost never drink any alcohol (maybe once a year I\u2019ll have a drink at a special occasion). Best choices from what I\u2019ve read are vodka or tequila, and the best mixer is soda water. But remember that all alcohol is literally drinking poison; that\u2019s why drinking makes you \u201cintoxicated.\u201d I am in search of an alcohol alternative; so far <a href=\"https:\/\/fb.watch\/znFY6CabRu\/?mibextid=wwXIfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this one<\/a> is the only one I tried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EXERCISE AND TIPS FOR TURNING YOUR BODY INTO A FAT BURNING MACHINE:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-Even though I don\u2019t recommend counting calories you eat or setting goals based on how many calories you burn, it is useful to understand that your body \u201cburns\u201d calories all the time, not only when you work out. So ideally, you can raise your \u201cresting rate\u201d of calorie utilization, including when you\u2019re sitting on the couch and even sleeping. One way to do that is by having more muscle mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Minimize sitting. Working out a few times a week doesn\u2019t cancel out sitting the rest of the time. Try to move more throughout your day. It\u2019s now been proven (see references discussed <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/98CWT2SMiYc?si=Clug1WzkIlQznWvE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>) that moving around more is more beneficial than lots of sitting with sporadic intense exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Stand more often, because even standing still burns utilizes more calories than sitting. Set reoccurring alarms if you have a desk job, to remind yourself to get up and walk to the bathroom or water break area regularly. Also consider a standing desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-There are a few benefits of exercise first thing in morning before eating, as research shows that basically workouts are more effective when you have been fasting overnight (as I mentioned I don\u2019t do extended fasting, but overnight is normal). As an extra benefit for all day energy and sleep regulation, try to do some of your exercise outside in the morning in the sunlight (or even if it\u2019s cloudy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I personally aim to exercise every morning unless there are unusual plans. This works best for me because otherwise, if I set a goal such as \u201cthree times a week\u201d I\u2019d put it off and think \u201cI\u2019ll do it the next three days\u201d possibly indefinitely. My sessions are usually short and not very intense, but the regularity is key for me. I do resistance exercises and then some bursts of low impact cardio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-I never think about needing to \u201cburn calories\u201d when exercising. When doing resistance\/ weights, I think about strengthening my muscles. When I do cardio, I think about my mental health, because exercising has been proven to be as effective as antidepressants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Don\u2019t be afraid of \u201cbulking up\u201d when lifting weights. However, you can do it strategically. For example, if you\u2019d like a bigger or shapelier butt, you can do glute building exercises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Unfortunately, we can\u2019t control where we add or lose fat on our bodies. But as mentioned, do do have some control over how to target muscle growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Incorporate more activity into your day too, which can be as simple as swinging your arms up and down as you walk across your house, or do some leg lifts while you fill up your water or stir your soup pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-If you struggle with self-motivation, try signing up for prepaid group exercise or personal training sessions that don\u2019t have a good cancellation policy (so it kind of forces you to go or else you waste money). However, if you have prior injury or health conditions, be sure warn your teacher and take it upon yourself to skip or modify movements that aren\u2019t right for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Try fun, weird workouts. You aren\u2019t regulated to a treadmill! There\u2019s so many different ways to get exercise that it\u2019s definitely possible to find ones you enjoy (or at least can tolerate pretty well). I\u2019ve done things including acrobatic yoga, pole fitness, and workouts that use drumsticks or wooden swords!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-If you\u2019re a parent or grandparent, do activities with kids such as trampoline parks, and swimming pools. I often see most parents sitting off on the sidelines with their phones. Stop caring what other people think, and get in there and jump, swim, and have fun! I even do workouts on playground equipment if there aren\u2019t kids using it. When my babies were small, I would hold them while doing squats, and walk around the house with them in my arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Sleep is crucial for health and fat loss. It affects hormones, hunger, energy, metabolism, willpower, mood, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-This <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JT-_z-jKDxs?si=6sAcZy963vVyJMc2\">video<\/a> explains who to best space out your strength training and cardio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Resting about 3 minutes between sets has a lot of benefits. But I don\u2019t like just waiting around, so I do &#8220;sensible supersets&#8221; which means I switch between two different weight exercises. For example, I\u2019ll switch between an arm exercise and a glute exercise, so arms are resting while my glutes are working, and vice versa. Meanwhile, my heart rate stays up which also has benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-If any of these tips sound hard, it\u2019s really just a matter of changing habits and enabling and getting used to new habits. You can do it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LEAST TOXIC PROTEIN POWDER AND CREATINE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Creatine with low lead and no additives.
