There are many natural ways that can help you shed pounds and trim inches from your waist.

Method 1: With An Apple, Flax and Chia Seed Cleanse

Apples can help you lose weight because they are nearly a whole food that contains a great deal of fiber.

This drink is made with three very high fiber foods, apples, flax seeds and ground chia seeds, all of which are very high in both insoluble and soluble fiber. You could easily lose a pound to two pounds a week on this high fiber weight loss regimen, which cleanses your entire system.

Flax seeds are a great source of insoluble fiber, that helps push toxins and fecal matter out of the intestines. Apple contains pectin, which becomes a gel that leaches away toxins and bacteria from intestinal walls. Chia, when left to soak in any fluid for a minimum of five minute, swells and becomes a gel-like substance that also helps move waste through the digestive system and absorb toxins.

Flax seeds are also a great source of essential fatty acids, which are very healing for the gut and chia seeds are a rare vegan source of a whole protein with a full amino acid profile. The apple, although a bit short on protein, is almost a whole food, and contains vitamins and minerals that a person needs to stay healthy all day. For many people, consuming these high fiber foods also helps reduce abdominal bloat and gas and the end result is often a much flatter tummy. The thick, fibrous and nutritious drink that is concocted with these ingredients also helps reduce cravings and keeps you feeling full so that you consume fewer calories, in general, all day.

Drizzling these diet pancakes with a sugar-free fruit puree is also a sweet idea. Each pancake is only about 60 calories, which means that eating six of them is only 300 calories. However, do not eat these pancakes every morning for breakfast if your doctor has recommended that you stay away from eggs because of an allergy or because you have high cholesterol.

    Method 6: With A Chia Seed and Oat Breakfast Drink


    The ingredients to make a simple chia seed and oat drink.

    This powerful breakfast drink contains two ingredients that are lower cholesterol levels and that have amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Both chia seeds and oats swell up when added to water, to create an excellent source of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber acts like a gelatinous mass that pushes fecal matter and toxins out of your intestines. Both grains are an excellent source of amino acids and B vitamins, which help to regulate your metabolism. Both chia and oats also contain minerals, such as potassium, zinc, copper, iodine, magnesium biotin and phosphorus. These minerals help support the function of the thyroid, which is key in the regulation of blood sugar and metabolism because it helps determine whether or not the carbs that you eat will be turned into fuel or fat.. The cinnamon in this mixture helps speed up the metabolism so that you burn off calories more efficiently.

    Method 7: With Cloves and Linseeds


    A bowl of whole linseeds, which can be ground up into a powder in your coffee grinder.

    Parasites are an issue when it comes to weight loss because they consume the nutrients that you should be in taking and expel toxins that cause bloating and weight gain. As you are constantly feeding these intestinal organisms instead of yourself, you might find yourself feeling constantly hungry. Mucus building up in your colon prevents weight loss because it creates an environment that is physically favorable for the build up of bacteria, fungi and parasites and it also acts as a sticky veil tot prevent your body from absorbing nutrients. This also causes cravings and the malabsorption of nutrients. Cloves help kill these parasites and yeasts, which are starving you to death nutritionally and causing you to overeat.

The linseeds contain healing fatty acids that are released as you grind them and the cloves contain a potent parasite-killing essential oil that is released as they are crushed. You can buy both cloves and linseeds at health food stores and some grocery stores. Spice stores also sometimes carry both whole flax seeds and fresh cloves.

Clean intestinal walls absorb nutrients more efficiently, thus allowing you to lose weight more efficiently. As you are well nourished, you will have less cravings for additional food or junk food.
