If you\u2019re having trouble losing weight and fighting off food cravings there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s caused by something called Syndrome X, which is caused by excessive sugar and carbohydrate intake. You can use the Master Cleanse diet to beat Syndrome X rather easily, but you have to modify it a little.<\/p>\n
The ingredients in the traditional Master Cleanse are specifically designed to detoxify your body and increase your overall health, but if you are strictly concerned with fat loss there is a modified approach that is much more effective. The traditional Master Cleanse is not the best choice for fat loss simply because of the amount of maple syrup you must ingest. Maple syrup is very high in sugar, and that\u2019s the last thing you need if you are looking to lose weight.<\/p>\n
Syndrome X has a set of symptoms that indicate that someone may be suffering from insulin resistance, i.e. glucose poisoning caused by a diet high in processed-carbohydrates and sugar. Researchers estimate that 1 in 5 individuals (about 60 million people in the United States) have the body type that increases the health risk associated with this sort of diet, making them more susceptible than normal to various serious ailments such as heart disease, obesity, kidney damage, eye damage, blood vessel degeneration, and liver problems.<\/p>\n
In fact, a diet high in sugar and processed-carbohydrates is now thought of by most doctors to be just as dangerous to your health as a diet high in saturated fat. A good book to pick up to learn more about Syndrome X is Syndrome X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance by Challem, Berkson, and Smith.<\/p>\n
Another big contributor to obesity and problems losing weight is the advent of processed foods and toxin-laced non-organic goods we consume everyday. Think of your body as a sump. The more garbage you put into the sump without proper maintenance, the more likely it is to back up.\u00a0 Like a sump, your body needs beneficial detoxification to clear out the old toxins that lace nutrients from your cells.<\/p>\n
From birth, we begin eating processed foods laced with chemical preservatives. Our meats have traceable amounts of hormones and pesticides\u2014which all enter our bodies as we eat them. Furthermore, our diet revolves around foods that create acidic conditions without our bodies.<\/p>\n
As we enter our late 20s to mid-30s, the toxins we\u2019ve been eating for decades reaches a breaking point in the human body. As we age, our bodies store more and more of these toxins. These toxins literally break down a cell\u2019s ability to effectively process nutrients from the bloodstream because they affect the body\u2019s pH level. As a result, our bodies begin to think they\u2019re starving because our cells cannot get proper nutrition. Meanwhile, our waistlines grow larger and larger as we consume more to counteract our rising hunger for the same junk food that\u2019s wreaking havoc on our bodies!<\/p>\n
As you have probably heard, this vicious cycle has killed millions of people. As these toxins destroy our bodies from the inside out, millions die from diabetes and heart disease (often direct consequences of our lifestyle habits). The cost of not breaking the deadly cycle of Syndrome X and improper body pH is deadly. The Master Cleanse for Fat Loss can help you defeat these two modern monsters of the human body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
