The holidays can wreak havoc on anyone's waistline. You're feeling tired and a little bloated after your last meal. Maybe it was that last piece of dessert that sent you over the edge. Perhaps you've even been exercising and dieting but, you haven't reached your goal weight yet.

Are you still looking for that something extra to increase your definition, eliminate that lower stomach bloat and get rid of the excess water in your body? Then it's time to cleanse the waste and toxins from your body.

Cleansing Can Be More Effective Than Many Diets
Cleansing is a different approach to losing excess weight and slimming your waistline. Cleansing speeds up your body's ability to eliminate toxins and wastes that can build-up in your liver and in adipose (bodyfat) tissue. This accumulation happens to everyone and can cause weight gain. It even happens to people eat well and live a healthy lifestyle. These toxins can cause headaches, fatigue, aches, pain, moodiness, gas and more. We are exposed to chemicals in the water, air and food we eat every day. Our bodies naturally work to get rid of metabolic waste and toxins. Although our organs (skin, kidneys, liver and colon) eliminate most of this waste, they can't always eliminate all of it. When theses systems can not get rid of 100% of it, our bodies store the remaining waste in our liver and bodyfat. Therefore, it logically follows that a good weight-loss strategy will begin with cleansing, to help the body eliminate these stored toxins. Many common diets don't include a cleanse. That is why many diets have limited or temporary results.

Excerpt from fitness expert Maria Kang:
"Feeling Fat" can be more than a result of eating too much. It can also be due to digestion issues and excess water "trapped" inside the body. Constipation and edema (bloating) and a lack of energy are signals that your body needs to flush out excess waste within the digestive system. Whenever your body falls out of balance, you will notice the tell-tale signs of irregular body detoxification:

• You are not experiencing regular and normal bowel movements (less than three times per week)
• You have a difficult time passing stools (straining) or sense an incomplete emptying after bowel movement
• Your clothes are feeling tighter and you may experience lower belly bloat
• Your urination is a bright (sometimes neon) yellow instead of a clear or light yellow color.

There are several natural ways to increase the elimination of toxins and waste in your body, which include eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of pure water, getting regular exercise, meditation, etc. Many people use natural, herbal remedies to help "detox" their body back to a more balanced state. Through specific supplementation, it is possible to increase the elimination of waste and toxins in the body - and the feelings of being bloated, fatigued, puffy and fat will disappear as well. Cleansing is the perfect complement to any weight loss program.

• Minimize your consumption of heavily processed foods or ingredients such as white bread, white flour, and white sugar.
• Increase your pure water intake. Always drink at least a half a gallon a day.
• Consume more raw vegetables (especially dark green ones) and fruits.
• Avoid the artificial sweeteners aspartame, saccharin and acesulfame potassium and never cook with these.
• Never starve yourself because it slows your metabolism, making it harder for you to burn calories and bodyfat.
• Use supplements such as a good quality liver cleanse, green cleasing product and natural diuretic to help release excess water.
