Dietology and Weight loss

Dietology is an integral part of naturopathy as it implies restoring health by using natural methods - diet correction, weight loss, natural food supplements, knowledge about food, its nutrients and how they work inside our body. Dietology and body cleanse are tightly interrelated, because the effectiveness of body cleanse is very much dependent on strict following of dieting recommendations before and after the cleanse. On the other hand, correctly selected balanced diet will work as a body cleanse by itself because it will eliminate toxins, reduce excess weight and increase energy levels.

Diet and balanced nutrition are highly important  - you can do the liver cleanse or colon cleanse on a regular basis, but if you continue having your bad eating habits your body will soon intoxicate itself again and put on extra weight by accumulating toxins, and toxic fluids.

When it comes to diets, most of the people prefer to go for popular simple diets (low-sugar, low-carb, low-fat, etc.) and refrain themselves either from extra fat or extra carbohydrates. Others blindly follow diets advertised by celebrities though TV and media. Not many people see the blatant fact that 90% of those celebrities were NEVER overweight in a first place, in fact some of them are suffering from pretty dangerous disease - anorexia.

Famous people advertise certain weight-loss products, pretending this product helped them to loose kilograms and virtually changed their lives, but truth is that most of celebrities hardly ever used remedies marketed by themselves. Majority of celebrities have experimented with dozens of slimming remedies, they know it doesn't work therefore they revert to only one truly working weight-loss treatment - plastic surgeon. There have been so many frauds and scams in food and supplement industry that it is pointless to write about them - you can find hundreds of the articles and images on the Internet.

Those who are ready to try anything to loose weight blindly believe marketing scams, they keep on experimenting with a new starving diets, loose few kilogram (most of it water anyway) and then once they get out of the diet - all the lost kilos come back on and quite often even more weight is being put on. This is not surprising - such dieters suffer through the whole diet from very deep emotional and psychological stress. Once they get off the diet, their body doesn't want to go through this hell again therefore it compensates with putting more kilograms of weight for its protection from potential starving in the future.

The truth is - every diet or correction in eating habits is INDIVIDUAL and COMPLEX matter. It should take into account individual physiological and psychological characteristics of person, it should take into account environmental factors, it should take into account past life history of this person and many many other specific individual points.

Most of the diets are based on restriction of something - food types, calories, ingredients, etc. You can only restrict yourself providing such restriction will not harm your body systems and your overall health. 99% of diets DO AFFECT your overall health, because they force you to loose weight at the expense of some other body parts. Atkins diet or low carb - deprives your body or energy (carbs) and destroys muscles. Low-fat deprives your body of fats needed for hormonal functions and reducing metabolism which BURNS FAT! Diet coke, low-fat yogurts, low-fat milk, zero-sugar sweets - these are all marketing scams that make you believe its healthy, but in reality this food product deprive you of the essential natural nutrients, instead they give you chemical substitutes - aspartame instead of sugar, trans-fats instead of good fats, sweetened hydrogenated milk instead on natural cow milk and so on. Optimal nutrition is not about reducing or removing something, it is about quality and balance.

Remember - there are NO magic diets that work for everyone, there are NO magic products that benefit everyone and there are NO magic pills that will remove excess weight! Ironically, countries that sell food and weight-loss supplements more than anyone else in the world such as USA and UK  - are countries with HIGHEST OBESITY RATES in the world and this statistics are getting worse every year! Ask yourself - why?

We strongly believe, that optimal nutrition system that will help you to loose weight with no damage to your health should comprise following elements:
