Weight loss tip: Why I am not losing weight

Weight loss tip: The hidden cause of unexplained weight gain may be poor liver function
Here is an important weight loss tip that I discovered. I have been working for over 15 years coaching people to lose weight and keep it off. I follow what I teach and never gain weight. Then suddenly a few extra pounds started to come on that I could not lose. That is when I discovered this.

There is a hidden often unrecognized reason people do not lose weight. It has to do with an important aspect of weight loss which is the liver and how well it is functioning. There are a lot of reasons why your liver may be sluggish and it is the body’s primary agent for metabolizing fat and the primary way the blood gets detoxified in the body. If the liver is not functioning well, which means the liver gets fatty, we can begin to pack on the pounds and have difficulty losing weight even if we are trying to.

There are many reasons why the liver may not be optimally functioning that include:

1. High fat diet primarily animal fat
2. Use of artificial sweeteners
3. Alcohol consumption that builds up over time
4. Use of prescription and over the counter medications

With this weight loss tip, you have nothing to lose except weight. By doing some easy things that can help rebuild and detoxify the liver and its important function in the body.

Here is what I tried and recommend:

1. A simple liver cleanse: ½ teaspoon turmeric, ¼ teaspoon ginger, ½ lemon and ½ cup water. This is excellent twice daily.
2. Juice down: beets, carrots, lemon, ginger cucumber and wheat grass or spirulina.
3. Take a supplement with milk thistle.

If you are working diligently at exercising and eating right but still struggle to lose weight have your liver function checked to shed light on this little-known weight loss tip that can really make a difference or try some of the remedies I mention. According to homeopathic medicine, poor liver function can also be a root cause of insomnia, waking up at 3am.

It is easier to follow healthy habits when your body is in good shape.
