Fat loss is a goal for some of us while only a dream for many others, but with the basic advice from this article you can begin the process of making fat-loss a reality. Noticeable and sustainable fat-loss is not as elusive or as difficult as many people tend to think it is. When one begins to adjust our lifestyle by paying close attention to the following factors (factors that I have found to inhibit fat-loss with wide-ranging research and hands-on experience w/ my profession) they can take control of their body composition (one's percentage of bodyfat and muscle). Fat-loss is the product of improving overall bodily health, mental well-being and even reaching the states of inner peace and happiness.
The intentions with which a man or woman approaches and/or uses in their choice-making process for basic lifestyle necessities is the single most important factor in whether or not fat-loss occurs and more importantly, is maintained. When one applies health-minded intentions to his or her entire lifestyle the fat-loss has been easier to reach (much less stressful) and more sustainable once the initial fat-loss took place. The individuals who apply not only health-minded intentions, but use holistic health-minded intentions (this a focus on mind, body and spirit) have a much easier time losing fat (low stress), keeping it off (due to lasting changes)and even greatly changing their body composition (by adding considerable muscle as well).
Noticeable, sustained fat-loss is the desirable side-effect from the lifestyle I have personally designed and am currently completing a book about; I have entitled this approach to life as 'holistic self-care'. Holistic self-care is designed to help a willing individual improve the connection and deep bond between the mind, body and spirit by addressing the intentions one approaches their entire lifestyle with. Holistic self-care is a highly individualized lifestyle and can help people reach many goals, whether physical or mental by focusing on the most influential factors affecting the goal.
Holistic self-care with a fat-loss focus has been designed to help any willing man or woman achieve noticeable, sustained fat-loss. Holistic self-care is guidance for one to apply holistic-minded intentions (promotion of the mind, body and spirit) for one to make the daily choices that support the basic functions of breathing, thinking, moving, eating, drinking, eliminating, sleeping, grooming and socializing. Holistic self-care with a fat-loss focus provides a specific, measurable goal and asks the willing individual to pay close attention to the following factors that influence whether fat-loss is realized and sustained.
Patience and commitment are the only basic prerequisites to successfully implementing and benefiting from holistic self-care with a fat-loss focus. This holistic-minded approach to lifestyle not only seeks to generate noticeable fat-loss, but more importantly seeks to improve body function, overall health, peace of mind, self-security and sustainable happiness. The underlying thesis is that noticeable, sustainable fat-loss is the result of improved bodily health and connection between the mind, body and spirit. Improve your health to lose your unwanted fat!
The first step towards reaching one's fat-loss goal and thoroughly connecting the mind, body and spirit is actually a state of mind; patience. Excess body-fat is nearly always the result of patterns within the mind and body; patterns that have likely been initiated some time ago and subsisting for quite a while. Occasionally fat may appear to be new (this is likely to be water retention), but the underlying pattern that generates body-fat is ongoing and part of a vicious cycle. The vicious cycle promoting fat-storage or inhibiting fat-loss can be addressed in time with patience and a commitment to addressing the following factors with a holistic self-care lifestyle.
The commitment is to the holistic self-care lifestyle with a fat-loss focus. This guided lifestyle presenting practical options for one to make the 'optimal choices' on a daily basis.
By making the 'optimal choices' with holistic-minded intentions and focusing on fat-loss an individual can greatly improve his or her mindset, health and functional ability of their body and reach a solid spiritual state which promotes the specific goal of fat-loss!
The three aspects of the whole person (mind, body and spirit) are directly affected by the intentions one uses to make choices in daily living. The sources and manners one uses to perform and fulfill the aforementioned 'basic functions' have the ability to connect the mind, body and spirit or promote a dis-connect that may generate harmful patterns which cause the body to slow it's chemical reactions, imbalance it's hormones, oxidize body tissues and reguarly store bodyfat or prevent the "burning" of previously stored bodyfat.
Holistic self-care is a deeply meaningful lifestyle designed to ultimately help one connect their whole 'being' which is represented physically by their body, operated by the mind with a profound impact by the sub-conscious entity we refer to as the spirit.
Many people already take guided care of their body (which may not be guided very well!!), but may be overlooking the many practical ways to support their mind and spirit. The properly balanced lifestyle of holistic self-care with a fat-loss focus can help people push through the sticking points and obstacles which arise and create adversity as one seeks to accomplish noticeable, sustainable fat-loss.
The proper holistic-balance is provided by giving loving care and attention to all three aspects of the whole 'being' (mind, body, spirit) with carefully intended choices. My hands-on experience with my own fat-loss (over 40 pounds of actual fat) and many clients lead me to shift my focus from purely the body to the necessary incorporation mind and spirit. Holistic-minded intentions guide the choice-making process and connect the whole 'being' which creates the mindset and body environment for noticeable, sustainable fat-loss.
The following factors have been concluded through my detailed research (200+ books, a BS in Exercise Science, graduate school in Chinese Medicine, certifications) and personal observations in myself and others (clients, family members, friends and associates I worked with and guided). These appear to be the most common inhibitors for generating and maintaining significant fat-loss. This is not the definitive list, and keep in mind that everybody has a different story complete with individualized patterns that emerge, progress and impact each person's mind and body in different ways.
Holistic self-care with a focus on fat-loss can be truly individualized (e-mail me for more info) to maximize it's power and facilitate quicker results; this is just a brief introduction to the most common overall factors which tend to inhibit fat-loss. In my forthcoming text, "True Health with Holistic Self-Care", the reader has the the option to be an active participant and take assessments which add some individualization to their plan by giving them the ability to choose a focus from fat-loss, emotional stability, detoxification, consistent energy, stress management and athletic performance.
Stress
Over-thinking, worry, depression, anxiety and a feeling of being overwhelmed can be grouped together as 'stress' and this has the potential be the most powerful and confounding factor inhibiting fat-loss. These 'stressful' emotions, feelings and thoughts can initiate or be the result of powerful patterns which stem from the process one uses in thinking. These potentially destructive thought processes tend to emerge over time and require a sincere commitment to alter (change the way one goes about thinking) and with patience, one can overcome these and eventually prosper by instituting and committing to a more positive, rational thought process.
Addressing these 'stressful' feelings, thoughts and emotions begins with commitment to using the rational thought process with a positive outlook that is the hallmark of holistic self-care. Rational thinking is an underlying system of evaluating options, making choices and the entire process of going about the way one thinks. All of which gives one control over how things are considered and what is worth thinking about, not what one specifically thinks.
By addressing how one goes about thinking, holistic self-care can ultimately, with time, address what one uses time and energy to think about, feel and experience emotions. This is because the thoughts and feelings which form emotions are actually the end-result of the process one goes about considering, evaluating and ultimately making choices (especially the subtle choices).
The following link is a very brief introduction to the rational thought process with a positive outlook as put together by Dr. Aldo Pucci, a psychiatrist with years of experience helping people overcome the destructive thoughts and feeling we often refer to as stress. Please take this assessment which comes complete with a somewhat individualized analysis of your answers.
Over-thinking, worry, depression and anxiety use energy and affect the metabolism which can leave a significant amount of acids in the blood. Acids which have the ability to magnify the other, to be mentioned fat-loss inhibiting factors on our body. In addition, these harmful thoughts and feelings have the ability to directly generate the powerful (some say most powerful) fat-loss inhibiting hormone of cortisol; which may be the single most prominent factor in preventing of noticeable fat-loss.
Cortisol is the powerful 'stress' hormone with profoundly negative effects on the overall biochemistry of the body. When cortisol reaches excessive levels the mind and body are negatively impacted; the mind is less sensitive to the leptin hormone and the body is unable to unlock fatty tissue and burn it for energy.
The body needs low levels of cortisol to use previously stored bodyfat as energy, and when a person has lowered sensitivity to the Leptin hormone they tend to overeat because this is generated by the gut to signal fullness. When the mind is less sensitive to it we can understand why many people overeat when 'stressed' out. 'Stress' is probably the main causative factor of excessive cortisol (silent inflammation, which will be discussed next, is a close second), so addressing this always a useful step in fat-loss.
In addition, the mind (in sub-consciousness and consciousness) has the profound ability to control the autonomic nervous system which is like the "wiring" between the brain, gut and fatty tissue. The autonomic nervous system has two separate types of "wires"; the sympathetic nervous system that prepares the body for action, which means it is the response to 'stress'.
In contrast to the 'stressful' sympathetic nervous system the body uses the parasympathetic nervous system which promotes the smooth operation of the body during relaxation. The parasympathetic nervous takes over when the mind is calm and opens up blood supply to the stomach and intestines for digestion to take place and greatly promote overall metabolism.
However, when the mind is 'stressed' the parasympathetic nervous system only functions at a small percentage of it's efficiency as the majority of available energy is shifted to the 'stress'-responding sympathetic nervous system. The results are partial digestion and decreased metabolism which directly lead to the inhibiting of fat-loss and even promotiom of fat-storage.
'Stress' begins with the perceptions, thought processes, feelings and eventual emotions set in motion by the all-powerful mind. This points to the utmost importance of addressing 'stress' first in the process of losing fat, as this can seriously affect one's aspirations to lose fat and improve body composition (by adding muscle as well).
So, a useful early step is to recognizing the present flaws in your thought process by taking the aforementioned 'rational thought process test' followed by instituting the basic suggestions from Dr. Aldo Pucci. One can make notes to take with them throughout their day in order to keep the focus on following the basic advice and instituting a basic rational thought process. Adding simple meditation to your regular daily schedule for just a few minutes at a time, a few minutes per day can really help prevent/relieve 'stress'; here is a solid introduction video:
Here is an article on some potentially 'stress' preventing ideas:
Now you are ready to address the following, possibly less influential factors potentially inhibiting noticeable, sustainable fat-loss.
Excess Blood Sugar
Sugar, in any form is an acid (meaning it has a low pH), toxic (it does not belong in the body) and a product of living matter breaking down. Human body tissue, like plant and animal tissue is matter which is anything that has mass and occupies volume. Living matter (including human tissue) is always building up and breaking down at the same time; this is the duality of nature.
Living matter breaks down, in part to Sugar; so why should we include sugar in our nutrition?
Another important factor to consider about all matter is that it is 99% electrical energy; atoms and molecules are bonded by electrical forces called protons and electrons. These are known as sub-atomic particles which have electrical charges; protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. This means that all matter contains electrical energy, furthermore this means that the human body is composed of electrical energy; mostly in the form of protons or positively charged ions. These positively charged protons desire and require the negatively charged electrons to react with and generate electrical energy.
The human body is clearly an intricate electrical machine that operates by and with electrical energy; electrical energy we can obtain from the sun (by photons), the air, food and drink. The human body seeks to obtain electrons from these sources for chemical reactions which generate real, long term, useful electrical energy in the human body.
However, the human body always has a back-up plan, and the seemingly invaluable back-up plan many people use to operate (with depleting side-effects) is a positive ion-to-positive ion stimulation. This occurs when positively charged ions (like our body tissues) react with other positively charged ions (like sugar, which is breakdown product of other organic tissues) for immediate stimulation to quickly generate electrical energy in the human body. This is how an acidic, toxic substance like sugar appears to "give" us energy.
Sugar is the product of living matter breaking down (catabolism), and this is why many foods have sugar to some degree (though meats have little as they are from muscles and fats), and why the more a banana ripens the more sugar-dense it becomes! Since all matter contains electrical energy, even partially broken living organic matter still has some. Sugar has electrical energy mostly in the form of positively charged ions; which means that sugar may be a breakdown product of matter but still has electrical energy just not the useful, long-term electrical energy the human body prefers (negatively charged ions).
Sugar (and caffeine as well) can give the body short-term stimulation but leaves people with an overall depleted body (think of sugar crashes) which cannot effectively lose fat because of the cascade of hormonal effects. The immediate result from sugar consumption is increased blood glucose levels, which the body can use to stimulate electrical energy with positive ion-to-positive ion stimulation. Keep in mind the body (including the brain) desires negative ions to react with to generate electrical energy; and these valuable ions can be found in blood sugar, but at a very small percentage.
So, the body will use this insignificant amount of negative ions from sugar while primarily using the high amount of positive ions for stimulation; this prevents the body from using it's own fatty tissue for electrical energy. The human body also has the invaluable ability to subsist on the electrical energy found in it's own tissues; preferably fatty tissues, and this will only happen when the blood sugar is low and the food/drink/sun/air provides a less than adequate supply of negative ions to react with.
For generating and maintaining fat loss the body has to be in a state where the blood sugar level is low and the body has the ability to catabolize (break down) it's own fatty tissue to generate electrical energy. The obvious move here is to remove foods dense with Sugars and starches (these quickly increase blood glucose levels as well) like cereals, deserts, soda's, grains, breads, potatoes, processed drinks and even many fruits from your nutrition.
Replace the foods which increase blood glucose levels with "low-glycemic" whole foods. "Low-glycemic" means that the foods have been found (by testing blood sugar levels) to have a small effect on blood sugar levels by not raising this. Whereas the aforementioned foods (grains, breads, pastas, cereals, even wraps) have been found to raise blood sugar levels and are considered "high-glycemic".
The key here though, is not to focus on "low-glycemic" foods in general, as this can lead you to processed foods and over-consumption of animal foods. Eat food (un-processed), mostly plant-based in whole form like fresh and lightly cooked green vegetables, low-sugar fruits, nuts and seeds and feel free to add in some animal foods and wild seafood and more (check my past articles on nutrition). High quality, cold-pressed oils can also be useful in keeping blood sugar low.
Olive oil, coconut oil, hempseed oil, flaxseed oil, avocado oil, walnut oil and a few other fatty acids that can be purchased in the form of oil have the ability to "stabilize" blood sugar levels by a few different manners. First, they are "low glycemic", which means they have been tested and shown NOT to spike blood sugar levels. Second, and more importantly (and probably why they are considered "low glycemic") is the ability of many of these fatty acids to circulate in the blood and absorb proton-dense substances, take them to the mitochondria and burn them as fuel; thus playing a complementary role in regulating blood sugar levels.
Lots of fresh whole food, lightly cooked whole food, some animal foods and a good amount of high-quality, cold-pressed oils has the ability to stabilize blood sugar levels and promote fat-loss, almost regardless of number of calories ingested (this has to be somewhat reasonable).
Here is the article on Holistic Nutrition:
Silent Inflammation Silent inflammation is below the pain level and takes place in the blood vessels and connective tissues that surround internal organs and muscles. Silent inflammation is generally the result of excess insulin and excess cortisol.
Insulin is the hormone generated as the body's homeostatic response (a seek to return to normal) to moderate blood glucose levels. Excess insulin may also be generated to deal with moderate amounts of low quality fats like those over-cooked or from processed meats, low quality oils (soybean, corn, vegetable, etc.), heavily cooked nuts and cheeses. Excess insulin prevents the release of electrical energy from fatty tissue to produce the necessary energy for the whole body. Compounding this is the power of insulin to shuttle sugars and low quality fats out of the blood and into previously existing fatty tissues or worse, initiating the creation of new fatty tissue.
There are insulin receptors in muscle cells as well, but these can and will become desensitized when there is insufficient or imbalanced exercise to use all of this blood glucose, with it's positively charged ions, for electrical energy. The result is that muscle cells become resistant to insulin which creates an excess level of insulin that creates and enables the vicious cycle of silent inflammation taking place throughout much of the body.
Excess insulin has now initiated a vicious cycle which also includes an imbalance between hunger and satiety/fullness signaling hormones. These powerful hormones, Ghrelin and the aforementioned Leptin tell the brain when to eat (Ghrelin) and when to stop eating (Leptin); meaning they have the ability to stimulate appetite and cravings for poor food's that are likely to be processed and loaded with sugar.
The vicious cycle of silent inflammation also signals the body to produce cortisol; which as we already know is also generated by a 'stressed-out' mindset foremost. Cortisol is also the body's response to poorly constructed exercise (over-exercise or imbalanced exercising). Excess cortisol has many potentially disastrous effects on the body including the initiation of breaking down muscle tissue for use of electrical energy (catabolism) because the silent inflammation prevents the use of fatty tissue for the necessary generation of energy.
Silent inflammation as a whole disrupts the entire body and creates a breakdown in communication between the gut, mind and fatty tissues which affects the hormones. In terms of fat-loss silent inflammation prevents the body from efficiently using the electrical energy in fatty tissue to produce energy for the whole body and thus 'burning fat' and ultimately losing fat are impossible; even with low calories and excessive exercise.
The key here is to prevent the formation of this vicious cycle by consuming mostly whole foods like green vegetables, low-sugar fruits and nuts/seeds and especially oils. Oils can not only prevent the initiation of the harmful cycle but can actually help break the cycle. Omega 3 fatty acids, which are found in flaxseed oil, hempseed oil, walnuts, wild fish and the revered fish oil should be specifically added to anyone's nutrition plan (by supplements and additional oils) desiring fat-loss.
Low Digestive Power
Low powered digestion is typically the result of the stomach being over-loaded with foods and drinks it does not have the ability to adequately prepare for absorption by the small intestine. When this becomes a pattern it may not matter how much food (even a small amoutn)or drink is put into the stomach because the stomach has become so deficient in necessary nutrients while also having some damage to it's hard-working tissues (which is reversible).
The first step to understanding why digestion power is low is to acknowledge that the primary job of the stomach is to prepare it's contents for absorption by the small intestine. The small intestine requires the food and liquid it receives from the stomach to have a high pH in order to be absorbed by the micro-villi which line it and create 7,000 feet of surface area in this body organ. Once absorbed the liquefied food/drink can be used to generate chemical reactions for electrical energy, nutrients for various body cells and tissues and even give information to the genes for their expressions.
So, we can see how important it for the stomach to raise the pH of the foods and drink inside of it by secreting baking soda (sodium bicarbonate from the cover cells), with it's high pH onto the ingested foods while also churning them to break them down to a liquefied substance. The byproduct of this process is stomach acid which is then intended to be absorbed in the bottom of the stomach (called the gastric pits) and absorbed into the bloodstream so as not to harm the liquefied food with a higher pH.
However when the stomach does not have the ability to raise the pH of it's liquefied contents the small intestine will not be able to appropriately use this for electrical energy, cellular nutrition and genetic expression. So, these foods are stored as bodyfat or worse, they sit in the small intestine or colon; where it is estimated the average American has between 5-12 lbs. of un-digested foodstuff collecting.
The stomach's inability to raise the pH of it's contents is usually the result of a few things; one is over-consumption of foods with extremely low pH (like most processed food and drinks, sodas, coffee, meats, breads, cereals, all dairy, corn and soy oils, etc.) another is a deficiency of pure, organic Salt and the last is damaged tissue in the gastric pits of the stomach (which pulls stomach acid out of the stomach). Pure, organic Salt is from Sea Salt and pure sodium also naturally occurs in many foods, most notably green vegetables. Pure salt cannot be efficiently obtained in the American diet which is full of heavily processed Salt, which is largely in-organic to the human body.
The stomach uses pure salt, along with water and carbon dioxide to form the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) for it's cover cells which then secrete this substance onto it's contents in order to properly prepare them for absorption by the small intestine. When the stomach is over-loaded with food it cannot properly raise the pH of (and this can happen from just a small amount of foods when one is deficient of pure, organic Salt) the digestive power will ultimately suffer and the body will tend to store foods as body-fat if they are absorbed, and if not they may collect in the bowels.
This can be addressed by first consuming less acidic (low pH) food and drinks while adding pure Sea Salt to your meals of fresh green vegetables, low-sugar fruits, nuts, seeds, wild fish and more whole foods. Supplementation with Baking Soda is also useful, as this directly supplies the cover cells with it's needed substance to raise the pH of stomach contents. One can also supplement with Aloe Vera and Chlorophyll which soothe the intestines and promote healing of the tissue in the gastric pits, so as to improve removal of stomach acid.
Cellular Inefficiency
The human body has this wonderful ability to breakdown it's own tissue (catabolism) and use it to meet the daily needs for energy. This is why many people, and specifically diabetics, actually wake up in the morning with higher blood sugar levels than they went to sleep with. However, the human body prefers to break down it's own fatty tissue and use it for energy, and when someone follows the previous advice this becomes possible.
"Fat-burning" occurs at the cellular level in the "powerhouse" of the cell known as the mitochondria. Once an individual takes care of the previously mentioned factors that may inhibit fat-loss he or she has one more potential obstacle to overcome: the number and efficiency of the mitochondria. The mitochondria is where the fatty tissue and circulating fats (from the aforementioned high-quality oils) are "burned" to generate electrical energy for the human body to operate.
People following the American Diet full of processed foods have been found to have significantly less mitochondria than those eating other forms of nutrition plans; and this was with comparable exercise frequency. Furthermore, it has been shown that exercise not only increases the number of mitochondria one has, but also improves the efficiency these 'fat-burners' operate at.
The mitochondria number and efficiency are largely impacted by the surrounding environment of the cell in which they are located. When the surrounding environment is dense with free radicals which create a harmful process that oxidizes cells (partial breakdown), the mitochondria will decrease in overall number and those left will not be able to operate at a very notable level. A lot of oxidation is natural and occurs during general metabolism and operation of the human body; the body can handle this level of free radicals very capably.
But, when one has insufficient levels of exercise, imbalanced exercise (too much of one type of exercising) or more likely consumes the American diet and suffers from high amounts of 'stress' their body will very likely be unable to capably and efficiently handle the oxidation from excessive free radicals. The result of this type of lifestyle are decreased number of mitochondria found in the cells and the one's that are found are likely operating at an inefficient level.
The most profound step we can take at this point is to commit to regular, balanced exercise. Regular exercise is at the very least 3 or 4 times per week for around an hour each time which needs to be properly balanced between cardio, flexibility and resistance forms of training. Cardio training has been found to increase the number of mitochondria more than any other action known to man, so this should take the greatest percentage of one's exercise time.
The absolutely necessary complement to regular cardio exercise is resistance training, which has been shown to increase mitochondria efficiency while building muscles and if properly designed also improve functional ability. Functional ability is anything that promotes the intended posture, muscular balance and regular movements of daily living. Flexibility training is also vital in promoting functional ability and mitochondria efficiency (by helping remove acids in the cellular environment), so it is clear how important regular, balanced exercise is for noticeable, sustainable fat-loss.
Here is the article on Holistic Exercise:
Thyroid Malfunction
The thyroid is the gland which governs our overall metabolism. The thyroid is stimulated by a hormone from the pituitary gland which itself receives a signal from the hypothalamus to generate this thyroid-stimulating-hormone. The chain of thyroid function begins in the brain and appears this level of thyroid function needs adequate amounts of water, omega-3 fats, vitamin B6 and Zinc. So, by consuming these daily you can possibly address this sub-category of fat-loss inhibitor.
The next step of the actual thyroid receiving the stimulating-hormone is crucial and also appears to be heavily dependent on nutrients; pure Salt, Iodine and Selenium being foremost. In addition to these valuable nutrients the thyroid itself has to be free of oxidation (from acidic free radicals which move in our body at various levels depending on health, metabolism, elimination and mitochondrial efficiency) which in this case appears to harm the thyroid most notably from heavy metals like aluminum and mercury.
If the thyroid has low amounts of oxidation with adequate amounts of Iodine, pure Salt and Selenium it will accept the thyroid-stimulating-hormone and generate then secrete it's own hormone known as thyroxin. Thyroxin goes to nearly all of the cells in the human body and must then be converted to a usable form of thyroid hormone in the Liver and at the cellular level; this conversion is vital and requires an alkaline (high) pH of the intra-cellular and extra-cellular fluids that are within and around the cells.
As you can see there are multiple areas where thyroid function can be impaired and the whole body, nearly all of it's cells will suffer from a decreased metabolism. The best approach appears to be naturally by hydrating, eating whole foods and supplementing with the previously mentioned nutrients (pure Salt, B6, Iodine, Selenium, Zinc) that directly impact thyroid function. Furthermore, decreasing intake of poor foods and products with heavy metals (aluminum and mercury) can be vital in addressing thyroid function naturally with lifestyle improvements.
Thyroid malfunction, or "slow" metabolism can be addressed with nutritional supplementation, and the aforementioned 'stress' prevention/relief, whole foods and superfluous amounts of water. This overall approach may take some time to observe and feel as this gland may take a while to regulate and function optimally. But a "slow" thyroid is often times the missing-link to realizing and maintaining fat-loss and can be addressed with commitment to a lifestyle of holistic self-care and additional supplementation.
Holistic Self-Care with Fat-Loss Focus
We are addressing 'stress' by instituting a rational thought process and introducing consistent meditation. We are addressing excess blood sugar and silent inflammation with consistent meals every few hours, "low-glycemic" whole foods and high-quality cold-pressed oils. We are addressing low digestive power and thyroid malfunction with whole foods and effective supplementation. Finally, we are addressing cellular inefficiency with balanced exercise and of course, whole foods. By committing to holistic self-care with a fat-loss focus one is actually beginning their progression through the Stages of Empowerment.
The Stages of Empowerment is the experience one goes through in the process of connecting their mind, body and spirit which improves mental and bodily health and allows one to reach their potential and whatever goal they desire. Happiness, inner peace, self-security and bodily health can be the products of holistic self-care which facilitates noticeable, sustainable fat-loss.
