What if there was a shortcut to losing all your unwanted pounds and inches? And what if this simple shortcut not only made you look great, but also makes you feel even better than you look, taking your health to new heights? Would that be something you'd be interested in knowing about?
Well that's good because I'm about to share a natural way to boost your metabolism to the way it was in your teenage years, so you're able to easily melt fat around the clock. Remember those days? You could eat whatever you want and not gain a pound? Now, it feels like just looking at a bowl of ice cream sends "two scoops of fat" to your hips and thighs.
Do you know the reason for the difference?

Well, here's some good news: It's not "just because you're getting older." And it's certainly possible to bring your metabolism back to its full fat-burning potential. Every day we live, we're exposed to all kinds of chemicals. It's something we can't avoid. It's in our air, in our food, and in our water. Pesticides, hormones in food, chemicals in our detergent and house cleaners, heavy metals, food additives, and the list goes on and on.
Well, our bodies don't want these chemicals just floating around freely because they're dangerous to our health. So to protect us, they capture these chemicals and safely store them away in our body fat.
That's great for keeping us alive, but not so great for looking good in a bikini. Because once these chemicals are stored, our bodies don't want to let them go. They want to keep them safely stored away. So no matter how much you exercise, you're going to find it hard to burn fat. It's like you're having a tug of war with your body to get it to give up any pounds!
The only time your body will release these toxins (letting you burn the fat they're stored in) is if it's convinced that it's safe to do so. You have to stop new toxins from coming in. The way to do this is through a detox diet: It's a seven-to-ten day diet where you focus on cutting out chemicals, give your body the nutrients it needs to detoxify itself, and eat lots of fiber to sweep those toxins out of your body.
It helps to boost your metabolism, increase your immune system, improve your skin and make you healthier overall. And the basis of it is very simple: For five days, you want to focus on eating mainly raw fruits and vegetables (preferably organic). These foods are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, which your body needs to detox itself. They're also high in fiber, which makes it easier to eliminate these toxins from your body. By allowing your body to clean itself out, you boost its ability to burn fat. So once you add your normal foods back in, you'll be able to process them instead of storing them as fat.
So by focusing on detoxing for five days, you improve your fat-burning ability for months, maybe even years. It's a very powerful way to get the scale moving. And it's exactly what your body needs.
