Reducing Weight with Essential Oils

 

http://www.wellbeing.com.au/blog/reducing-weight-with-essential-oils/

Weight loss is just ONE advantage of essential oils.  I used to be a huge skeptic... now I am a huge believer!

Being a research fanatic, I looked at many different companies before deciding that Young Living Essential Oils is the best company out there to meet my needs.  Your mileage may vary, and that's fine too.

Any oils I discuss will be based on Young Living Essential Oils, since they are the oils I am most familiar with.

It does not mean I think they are the only good essential oils.... for my needs, they are the company I embraced for many reasons. They've been around over 20 years and for the most part they grow their own plants, distill them onsite and bottle them immediately. They offer a Seed to Seal promise that works for me.

OK ... Let's get serious and get the flab off - Something NEW worked for me and Might Work for YOU!

And it worked BIG TIME!  

Another holiday season over prompted me to clean out closets, drawers, etc.... and I decided that my "skinny clothes" from a couple years ago were taking up too much room in my closets and drawers so I put them in the rubber totes to, umm, you know, "store them until I get back into them". Sigh. It was sooooo depressing to see 3 tubs of pretty clothing I could no longer wear.

New Year's Eve I decided I'd eat whatever I wanted to on the New Year's Day and then the next day the great diet effort of 2015 would begin. I ate chips, peanuts, fruit, chocolate, pizza.... all the things that I would not taste until late spring... summer...?

I spent most of the day researching essential oils for weight loss since I've become a firm believer in essential oils. I once was a HUGE skeptic but since I've embraced them they've changed my life in many ways.

Until I started using them I was a hopeless insomniac -  now I go to sleep with the help essential oils.

I used to have bottles of TUMS close by at all times.... since I used DiGize Essential oil, which eliminated the pain within minutes,  I don't use TUMS at all .... and my heartburn episodes have greatly decreased.

I store my stress in my neck and upper back........ painful. Using essential oils to eliminate that has been a God-send.

I just completed a week long egg fast and lost an incredible amount of weight (unless I turn out to be a diabetic - another week will tell the tale) with the help of essential oils.

I love them because THEY WORK.  All bodies are different so what works for me may not work for you but once you find one that is a solution for what ails you, you will be hooked.

I diffuse them to purify the air... I use them in spa type products and homemade soap, for cooking, and for cleaning products.

I just did an Egg Fast - there are no hard and fast rules, it's basically set up to follow what a man did to lose a large chunk of weight after being stalled on a Low Carb High fat diet. In a nutshell,  3 - 7 days of  high fat, low carb, mainly eggs.  For every egg you have one TBSP butter ( or cheese) up to 9 eggs a day. If you don't eat all your butter you can have one ounce of cheese  in place of one ounce of butter.  In addition to that I used essential oils that work for weight loss on many people and had a huge weight loss.  I posted that to a weight loss blog and got kicked off because the moderator said essential oils don't work. Ahem. I beg to differ with her and I have the medical and scientific links to prove it.

So, do your own thing with those guidelines.... the video on this blog from the doctor who manages the program at Duke talks about the same thing, how fat is good for the body when you're dieting. If you have not watched those yet, you really should.

I started a Facebook group with all this information  on it, including the protocol I used.

If you don't know about Essential Oils, it's a good time to learn... if you are interested in getting into them, I'm happy to help.... if you just want to do the egg diet and get recipes that's fine too. I'll be adding more recipes soon... please bare with me.

How about a little JERKY?

 I realize this is not for everyone...especially if you have high blood pressure or need to restrict your sodium but it's perfect for me.  I have low blood pressure that falls  below 100/60  if I don't have enough salt.    I love the jerky... feels like I'm cheating but so full of flavor and SALT!  I buy it at Walmart.

I'm picky about the brands I like... this one is my favorite.  You might be lucky enough to have a local meat market that  makes it.

CARBmaster Yogurt (Kroger's brand)

Have I mentioned that I LOVE it?  Not every flavor... but most of them!

Only 60 calories and  4 carbs - 9 gm protein

Blackberry is my favorite... a few of the flavors I think are really nasty but for the most part, I LOVE these... more than Yoplait or Dannon.

Carbmaster yogurt is what is called a 'dair' blend, a cultured dairy blend. This is a blend that looks like yogurt, tastes like yogurt, but doesn't meet Food and Drug Administration guidelines for what yogurt should contain, specifically the types of bacteria cultures.

Like normal plain yogurt, Carbmaster yogurt blends contain live and active cultures L. Acidophilus and B. Bifidum, bacteria that aid digestion, especially in people who may be lactose intolerant. L. Acidophilus also helps prevent yeast infections and aids in the body's ability to process vitamin K a chief agent of the body's blood clotting ability. The other bacterium, B. Bifidum has been linked to lower risk of allergies and is sometimes said to prevent growth in some tumors.
