CALLING ALL YOGIS! Feeling a bit tortured by your twists or a bit challenged by your chaturangas? Consider a yoga weight loss diet as the magical cellular detox that will enhance your practice’s flexibility and movement potential!

What Is A Yoga Weight Loss Diet?

A weight loss diet for yoga allows the body to align deeper with the mind and spirit. Our yogi clients often speak about the immediate improved flexibility and strength in their yoga practice. Frequently we are asked why they may be carrying a little extra weight in their mid-section which we all know can make deep twists and other poses a bit challenging to move into or hold for long periods of time.

By incorporating a cleansing vegan fitness diet and regular colonics into your lifestyle, you’ll become a weight loss warrior breathing through Crow Pose and Seated Spinal Twist with greater confidence, power, and stamina!

Benefits Of A Weight Loss Diet For Yogis Include:

• cultivating a trimmer figure for improved yoga poses

• helping your body feel looser yet toned, more flexible, lighter, and stronger

• enhancing your spiritual connection to humanity

• creating deeper relaxation in shavasana

• being more mindful – naturally

• feeling and looking radiant

               * Reduce/eliminate your intake of acidic/mucus-forming foods such as red meat, dairy, processed starches, and alcohol. 

               *Get a pre-fast colonic for best fasting results. 

    2. During the Weight Loss Juice Fast:

               * Drink approximately 1 gallon of liquid per day during a fast: Composed of a 50/50 ratio of  vegetable juice and water. See the diagram below for the benefits of drinking a substantial amount of water!

Colonics Are Necessary When Juicing For Weight Loss

It is crucial to keep the bowels moving when juicing for weight loss. The alkaline juices will loosen more waste than your body is capable of eliminating on its own. The more waste you release with colonics, the more weight you will shed in the long-term! Read more about juice fasting and colonics in New York City to learn more.

Contemplating Your New Year’s Weight Loss Choices? Think outside the box!

While most of you are probably approaching your New Year’s weight loss goals by controlling portions and calculating fat grams and calories, we would like to draw your attention to the most effective key to weight loss: CELLULAR DETOX!

It’s the truth: Excess cellular waste = excess weight.

Cells Are The Foundation Of Life

Our bodies are one big universe compiled of trillions of cells, and each cell plays a role in our existence. Cells cluster together to form the foundation of our many biological expressions.

If Your Cells Expand – So Will You!

We consume food, extract nutrition and sustenance, and expel the waste that results from the process of extracting fuel. This process is happening in each individual cell. Our cells accumulate excess sludge, waste, and gas when we eat gobs of starch, dairy, protein, and processed foods, which contain little to no nutrition. Cells expand to accommodate the extra waste and gas, and our waistlines expand accordingly.

Contracted Cells = Weight Loss

A cell that has the opportunity to rid itself of waste will contract and regenerate. Contraction on the cellular level results in happier, oxygenated cells and a slimmer, healthier you!

2012 Health & Diet Goals: Loosen AND Remove!

As you are deciding where to start with your New Year’s weight loss process, we suggest you start with RAW FOODS.  Imagine that the oils left in a frying pan after many uses represent the waste/residue in your cells. Raw foods and fresh vegetable juices are your degreasers! These foods are alkaline in nature and they will neutralize the acidic waste as they prepare it for removal.

A Few Tips For Achieving Your 2012 Health & Diet Goals:

1. Drink Water – To help your system flush out toxins.

2. Drink Fresh Veggie Juice – It is highly nutritious, alkaline, and cleansing.

3. Eat Salads Before Your Cooked Meals – It will set you up for good digestion.

The Keys To Achieving Your New Year’s Weight Loss Goals:

1. Cellular Detox = Weight Loss

2. Raw Foods = Healthier More Vibrant Cells

3. More Vibrant Cells = Good Health, A Trimmer Body, Clear Thinking, & Greater Energy To Live Your Life
