Fiber! It's time to Have the TALK

Fiber! Everyone needs to know about it; no one wants to talk about it. Well, it's time to have that "talk."

If you don't have a bowel movement at least once per day, you are NOT taking out the garbage. Let's talk in metaphors, okay? When was the last time you put a chicken carcass in the trash? How long did it take to get your attention? Not long! Why? Because of the bacteria associated with rotting food. Have you ever thought about the difference between animal proteins and, say, good, old-fashioned vegetables and fruits? Do you ever get nervous about leaving an apple on the counter all day? What about a package of hamburger meat? Okay, I know I'm rambling, but the point is you need fiber. If you're concerned with "it" sitting on the counter for too long, then what's the difference when "it" sits in your gut too long? The bacteria still builds up, and it's no safer that the bacteria that builds up while "it" sits on the counter!
Fiber: It's safe, it's plentiful, it fills you up, it has more vitamins and minerals associated with the "container" you eat to get it. By "container" I mean the fruit or the vegetable you eat to get it.
Before you get all "anti-vegetarian" on me, I am not promoting veganism. I am promoting fiber. I am promoting daily trash dumping.
Take your garbage out, and do NOT use a laxative to do it. A laxative is like traveling around in a wheelchair. Your muscles will atrophy from lack of use, and eventually you will not be able to "walk" at all. Fiber does so much more than "take the garbage out." It cleans the toxins in the blood: the toxins that can and will lead to all sorts of problems, including cancer, arthritis, and a host of other inflammatory diseases.
It starts with an internal stink - not taking your garbage out - and it could easily end with colon cancer. The choice is yours!
And now for a "plug" for my favorite fiber: Super Seed by Garden of Life. I mix it with cold water, orange juice, or I put it in my morning "green" smoothie. I take my garbage out every day, sometime twice, sometimes more. I don't want rotting garbage in my body.
And I talk about this with ALL my clients. There are no sacred cows when it comes to weight loss. I talk about it ALL.
