The first stage of weight loss is the deflating stage.
Most of us are bloated and inflamed from the food we eat because food filled with processed ingredients, high salt content, and artificial flavors cause this type of reaction in the body. When going on a weight loss regime, changing the food we eat is the first approach. And within the first two weeks of eating more healthy food, the body will start to deflate as the bloating and systemic inflammation recess.
Most of us don't account for the emotional releases that surface with weight loss.
Our bodies hold emotions, especially in the organs. With the shedding of weight, emotions surface. Most of us do not account for these strong emotional releases. It can bring up anxiety and massive fear feelings that were lodged in the body.
Both of these things happened to me recently.
I started my weight loss regime last week. My regime entails doing it naturally and using herbal supports to help me. Doing it naturally means that I am not using any pharmaceutical drugs and that I am using natural eating habits and herbal supplements to support weight loss.
During this first week of my weight loss regime, I cut out wheat, red meat, and processed food. And on day 7, I had an emotional crash. As the first five pounds were shed, so were my emotions. I spent an entire day crying for no apparent reason and feeling scared of the world. I realized this was part of the emotional release that happens! So, I retreated to an herbal anxiety support!
Herbal supports for my weight loss program to help with the emotional releases.
For me, herbal extracts that are concentrated formulas of herbs work best because I can just take droppers of the formula as needed. This one formula is my favorite.
