A healthy, balanced diet will also strengthen immune system, reduce fatigue, lessen side effects of certain medications, prevent constipation and other digestive disorders, and maintain chemical balance within body. So stop cursing and get ready to lose some weight!

It's Time To Eat

Hunger is a natural signal from body telling us to eat. Don’t ignore it. You should never have to be hungry in order to lose weight. On contrary, when we are hungry we tend to panic into eating whatever is in sight to protect us from starvation. And skipping meals will slow down your metabolism and cause you to overcompensate with a larger meal later in day. So go ahead and eat when you are hungry. Eating regular meals that leave you full and satiated will help you stick to a healthier meal plan and reach your weight loss goals. Eat five or six small meals spaced regularly throughout day so that you will be better able to moderate portion sizes and remain in control of what you eat. If you want to lose weight you just need to be more selective about foods you are choosing to satisfy your hunger. Permanent weight loss does not involve starving or deprivation, rather it involves a healthy eating plan that keeps you in control of what you put in your mouth.

Plan Ahead

Here’s a toughie. You want to embark on a new diet. You ask yourself: “Do I have to get my doctor’s approval”?

Although enzymes are considered a safe food not needing a doctor’s approval, it is always advisable to get input of your health care physician when making decisions or changes regarding your health. This includes with any diets (particularly very restrictive ones), supplements, or over counter products. Many supplements or diets can affect neurology. Some supplements may not be safe in higher amounts. A medical professional needs to know everything you are taking or would like to take in order to make good recommendations for your health. Although enzymes are very rarely a problem, adverse interactions are possible among other ‘all natural herbs,’ vitamins, or over-the-counter compounds. Most doctors do not have much training in nutrition and they may recommend you see someone who specializes in nutrition. Most doctors consider digestive enzymes a safe thing to try, just like you would bottled water, fresh fruit, or whole grains not really requiring medical approval.

Many people nowadays have given up on physicians – medical profession – generally and have opted for alternative medicine. So, alternatively, you should consult, if not your physician, then certainly your Holistic Health Care Provider. In fact, in basic medical classroom training typical Holistic Doctor has one full semester of academic work more than what medical doctors training provides, and same residency and professional requirements.

So, having come this far, what else do I need to know?
