Weight loss is one of the big topics-no pun intended-on the late
night television circuit. While flipping through the channels
after 11p.m., you are likely to come across several
advertisements for weight loss pills and diet supplements, each
promising to assist you drop those unwanted pounds and remove
stubborn belly fat once and for all.
Let's face it, if these pills really worked, America wouldn't be
the top overweight country in the world.
There are types of alternative medicine, which can help with
weight loss, however, and with great results. While no
alternative medicine is a magic solution, practicing these
principles can help you become more limber, feel more energetic,
and the end result-or side effect if you will, is weight loss.
Take yoga for example. The low impact stretching involved with
yoga will help you feel less stressed, and as a result less
likely to over eat as a result of depression or anger.
Acupuncture has exact pressure points in the ear which help
reduce cravings, and detoxifying teas and herbs can help you
feel healthier, and the side effect would be thinking twice
before deciding that you want to "pollute" yourself again with
oily and fatty foods. In this regard, alternative medicine is
wonderful for loosing weight.
The majority alternative medicines for weight loss come in the
form of detoxifying teas, energy supplements, and vitamins. The
exercise and diet plans are the basis, as they should be, for
safe and effective long-term weight loss. There is no magic
potion to lose weight. In fact dropping pounds and keeping them
off requires regular daily exercise and a change in eating
habits, period.
However, to get you ready for weight loss, here are some
alternative medicine detoxifying teas and interesting
supplements.
Take turmeric, ginger, and lemon-about a half teaspoon each and
the juice of half a lemon, and boil it all in 2 cups of water.
Drink every morning as a detoxifier before you start your diet.
All diets should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, and
buying a juicer is a great way to make a habit out of eating
healthy. Please see your doctor before starting any kind of diet
plan.
Visit your local food co op or herbalist, they can get you set
up with all sorts of alternative teas and nutrition advice, and
can refer you to a good homeopathic doctor who will evaluate you
as to what your individual nutrition needs are.
Bovine and shark cartilage are two dietary supplements to hit
the alternative market. Both have been used for years outside of
the United States and Britain, but now are big business in the
health food stores.
The most popular form of alternative medicine for weight loss
isn't really medicine at all, rather behavior modification
through hypnosis. Hypnosis doesn't make you rely on will power,
that's one of the reasons it's so popular.
How hypnosis works is that it examines what is subconsciously
holding you to the thinking and eating habits that keep you
overweight. Hypnotists believe that if the root cause of the
obesity can be alleviated, the patient will naturally begin to
lose weight. It is actually a very efficient form of alternative
medicine, and overall can cost much less than trips to day spas
and expensive over the counter weight loss pills. Through
hypnosis you can let go of fears that keep you from eating
healthy, and begin to allow a positive energy flow through you,
causing you to want to stick to the new way of eating and
exercising.
