Our bodies are designed to burn fat. If you are overweight it’s a sure sign that you are not burning fat, you are burning sugar. We are going to talk about how to get those furnaces ignited again and get your body burning fat. We have all been led to believe that dieting is what we need to do to lose weight. Wrong! Look around you — it doesn’t work.
When you reduce calories you slow down the metabolism and shut down the mitochondria. Then when you stop the diet and begin to eat more calories again, your body now has less mitochondria fired up, your metabolism is sluggish, you have elevated levels of cortisol (a stress hormone that causes fat storage) and when you start eating again you put weight back on very quickly.
When you burn fat cells, the impurities are released into your system.
Minerals and trace minerals carry the impurities away from the body tissue to the liver then allow the liver to deliver those impurities to the colon and out of the body.....Without minerals this function does not happen.
The soils in our country are severely depleted of minerals… we no longer get adequate minerals from the foods we eat. Isagenix products include 72 ionic minerals and trace minerals plus live, active enzymes. The minerals allow the enzymes to carry waste products from the cells to the liver. The liver produces bile that carries the waste products to the colon and out of the body. Without the minerals and enzymes, the impurities just get re-circulated throughout the body. Eventually the body recognizes those impurities as something toxic and creates fat cells to enrobe them, then puts them back into storage as fat.
Fat-Burning vs Sugar-Burning
Sugar-Burning Mode:
Fat-Burning Mode:
Fat-burning mode lowers insulin and cortisol levels, produces proper brain chemistry, gets oxygen into the cells and hydrates the cells. In fatburning mode water goes into the cells and flushes out the acid and impurities that are stored there. Those acids and impurities circulate through the system until they are removed through the liver and colon or kidneys and bladder.
Re-cap:
When you lose weight by reducing calories you slow down your metabolism and the cell’s mitochondria that generate energy for the body to use. When you start eating again you put the weight right back on because:
1) The furnaces and metabolism have been shut down
2) Without adequate minerals and enzymes the impurities still float around inside your body and are eventually stored back to fat.
Those 40 days will require commitment on your part. If you are successful, you will be free to enjoy your life like one of those “lucky” people who can eat dessert on occasion without any side effects.
The trick here is to get adequate nutrition balanced with proper glucose for brain function and ALL 70 minerals to flush the impurities out of the system along with living, active enzymes. Isagenix has all this built in. It takes 2 days of cleansing with Cleanse For Life Drink to get your body into fat burning mode, and the full 40 to get all your mitochondria fired up. The only way to detoxify your body is to suspend digestion.
The Isagenix cleanse is designed with 2 back-to-back days of cleansing with the Cleanse for Life Drink for this reason: after you suspend digestion for only 4 hours your body begins to produce the hormones that make lean muscle mass and increase your metabolism.
The first 24 hours your body cleans the sugars from the liver.
The second 24 hours is when the body begins to burn fat.
