Losing weight with the help of enemas is a favorite option for people with eating disorders like anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. It surely does help in weight loss but it is naturally not a healthy way to lose weight. If you are keen to lose weight in a natural and healthy way then you need to focus on eating right and exercising. A balance of diet and exercise will help you to maintain an equilibrium between calorie intake and calorie output. An enema for colon cleansing once in a blue moon can be healthy. But its aim should not be for weight loss but for body detoxification.

Tips for Weight Loss

For weight loss try the following tips listed below –

• Avoid any kind of fad diets as they restrict the calorie consumption to a drastic level which not only restricts other nutrient intake but also decreases your rate of metabolism. You would not want to lose your rate of metabolism especially if you are desperate to lose weight.
• Weight loss can not be achieved overnight. Wake up and be realistic, remember you have not gained that weight in a day or two. So give yourself time to lose weight. Regular exercise along with diet and healthy lifestyle will reap results in long term.
• Focus on good quality carbohydrates and proteins in the form of whole grains, cereals and its products, fresh fruits and vegetables, pulses, sprouts, legumes, beans, low fat or fat free dairy products, lean meats, poultry without the skin, fish and egg white.
• Avoid excess fats, fatty or oily foods and sweets altogether as these foods provide ample of calories without other essential nutrients for health. Avoid all the junk foods, processed foods, refined foods, canned or packed foods, sweets, chocolates, candies, bakery foods with butter or margarine, sweet desserts, colas, carbonated drinks and sodas as far as possible.
• Drink plenty of water. If you feel hungry after an hour of your meal, you might be thirsty. So instead of eating more food, drink water. Learn to identify your feeling for thirst and hunger and act accordingly.
• Increase your physical activity or exercise besides eating a healthy diet.
• Check with a specialist if you have any eating disorders; if so then correct them first. Avoid taking enemas on regular basis unless and until you need body detoxification once in a year or two. Also whenever you plan to take an enema talk to your health care specialist and do so under his/her supervision and guidance.

Most women gain fat around their abdominal region. No matter what you call it, a baby belly or mummy tummy, it is often embarrassing. I can understand your situation but it’s you who will have to work towards it. Try the following dietary and lifestyle modifications to lose weight and your belly fat.

When you plan to lose weight don’t just focus on spot reduction, or only on your tummy, but focus on whole body reduction. This is because it is unnatural to lose weight only from your tummy and have bulky thighs. The only way to reduce your belly fat is by losing your overall weight with the help of a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Tips for Successful Weight Loss

• Watch your diet carefully and eliminate all the empty calories from your diet, as the foods that provide empty calories are very low in other essential nutrients required for good health.
• Focus on lean fibrous carbohydrates from fresh fruits and vegetables, whole cereals, grains and its products, whole pulses, sprouts, beans and legumes. These foods are not only rich in many vital nutrients but are also low in total fat. Avoid the consumption of refined carbohydrates and simple sugars altogether as this is one of the major reasons for weight gain around the tummy.
• Avoid fried foods, fatty foods, junk foods, processed foods, canned foods, refined foods, sweets, chocolates, and bakery foods like cakes, pastries, cookies; sweetened artificial drinks and juices, carbonated beverages, sodas and colas.
• Include lean good quality protein in your diet in the form of lean cuts of poultry, lean meat, egg whites, fish and fat free or low fat dairy products. However avoid the consumption of organ meats, shell fish and egg yolks as they are high in cholesterol and saturated fats.
• Your cooking method is very important. Use a non stick pan preferably to cook your vegetables and poultry. For instance fish is a very healthy food and has natural healthy fatty acids – omega 3 fatty acids. But if you fry the fish remember the frying destroys all the healthy fatty acids and other nutrients. So instead use other healthy methods like baking, steaming, boiling or grilling instead of deep frying or shallow frying with lots of oil.
• Besides these dietary changes, exercise is equally important to lose weight. Focus on strengthening exercises especially for your midsection like pelvic tilts, crunches and scissor kicks.
