Many people make unsuccessful attempts to lose weight without knowing the causes of systemic weight gain in the first place. First, if you must achieve natural, gradual and sustained weight loss, you must know what caused or contributed to your weight gain so that you can lose fat sensibly, systematically and permanently.
This is the main reason why weight loss fads, programs, pills and diets don't work; neither is the weight loss gurus. Any diet that deprives you cannot be sustained. And any plan that excludes your favorite food without giving you healthy alternatives is bound to fail. Therefore, the first attempt at weight loss is to change your mindset about weight gain and its management. Know that weight gain is a systemic problem that require a comprehensive systematic approach from various perspectives to address all the contributing factors. These factors include proper and balanced nutrition, cleansing and aggressive detoxification, metabolism(calories), glandular problems(sluggish thyroid or liver), water(hydration and dehydration), exercise(fat burning), hormonal(endocrine issues) and digestive problems including introduction of fiber to the diet.
Here are summary of cardinal causes of weight gain that must be addressed in any effective weight loss plan:

Here are summary of cardinal causes of weight gain that must be addressed in any effective weight loss plan:
- Nutrition--the quality, quantity and caloric value must be addressed to achieve sustained weight loss.
- Cleansing especially of colon and the liver is the key to permanent weight loss program. Detox always comes before diet.
- Address problems with sluggish organs like thyroid gland, liver, adrenals and the pancreas. Insulin resistance is epidemic.
- Hormonal issues must be addressed otherwise all your efforts at weight loss will fail.
- Water is often a missing culprit in most weight loss programs. Aggressive hydration is key.
- Exercise comes after diet, calories and hydration has been addressed. Please don't start with exercise without first addressing the nutrition imbalance.
- Digestion is part of drainage. Enzymes must be included to make all the nutrients work and to help digest, eliminate and drain away toxins and debris from the body.
- The issue of fiber must be address. They are the intestinal broom that sweep out unwanted debris, sludge, pollutants and toxins from the intestines.
- Perhaps the most important aspect of any weight loss program is the psycho-spiritual component. You must have the mindset, discipline, the focus, the resolve before you create the result of sustainable weight loss. I call it having the mindset to finish what you started: the head and heart of a finisher is a must if you must achieve sustainable weight loss. The problem is not losing weight; the problem is always how to keep it off which requires discipline and mental toughness.
