Nutritional Cleansing - Is it a scam?

I’ve recently heard about a new concept (at least it’s new to me!) called Nutritional Cleansing. Now I am a BIG SCEPTIC when it comes to new stuff in the fitness industry. There are so many trashy fads and scams out there just wanting to take your money and sell you a dead-end promise. When I heard about nutritional cleansing I rolled my eyes and figured it was just another one of these scams to trick people into spending money and then leaving them to fail again. I decided to look into it so if my clients came asking me about it I would know what it was.

Nutritional cleansing is basically achieved by using super-nutritious food made up from nutrient rich plants and substances from all over the world. It’s the cutting edge of food technology I suppose you could say. The idea is that the body is laden with lots of toxins, and these toxins are stored mainly in the fat cells. I know that this is true – toxins are stored in our fat cells in order to keep them out of our circulation, so they can’t do as much damage to us. What I didn’t realise at the time I was looking into this is just how toxic we actually are. While I was listening to some of the information available to me about this nutritional cleansing, I heard that the breast milk and cord blood of the Inuit people (these are people who live far away from cities and modern life, who still hunt and gather their food) was so far off the chart for toxic contamination, especially of mercury and PCBs that is could be classified as industrial waste! That scared the living daylights out of me. I investigated that claim (coz I never just believe anything I hear or read in just one place) and it’s true. Toxins are a very real part of everyone’s daily life, and we consume and absorb far more of them than we care to think about.

What nutritional cleansing achieves is helping the body to remove these toxins, as well as providing it with super-nutrition so it can repair damaged cells and DNA, boosting circulation, immune system function, thyroid function and liver function. When the body receives all of this nutrition is can release the toxins, remove the toxins, and this allows it to release excess body fat. Releasing excess body fat was really interesting to me, because I know that some of my clients have had lots of trouble releasing excess body fat even when they are exercising and eating the way I recommend. It is also really hard to lose fat when you get down to the last 5kgs or so. It makes a lot of sense to me that the body is reluctant to release fat if it is using that fat to buffer a large toxic load.

The food technology and science behind these products also helps to repair and boost metabolism. Many people’s metabolisms are essentially broken – through yo-yo dieting, improper eating, poor nutrition, being overweight, lack of exercise and ever too much exercise. After having a look at all of this information I decided to try some of the products that facilitate this nutritional cleansing process. WOW!

I did not know how bad I actually felt until I felt how good I could feel! I started sleeping really well and actually waking up refreshed in the morning – with less total hours of sleep. I didn’t really have any excess body fat to lose but I reduced bloating quite a bit and my muscles became more defined. Cellulite reduced. My energy levels were out of this world, and I live a pretty stressful life most of the time! I could cope with all the exercise I do as part of my job, and even started doing my own training again! I maintained my muscle mass and didn’t put on any fat, which I would usually do with all that chronic cardio and stress in my daily life.

I’m sold on this concept. I do not go a day without using the products and they have actually saved me money at the supermarket because they are food, not just supplements. I was very sceptical, but I’ve had to eat my words because there will never be a day of my life from now on that I do not use the products. I can’t go back to feeling the way I used to feel now I have experienced feeling so fantastic. That might sounds cheesy and unrealistic but the effect they had on my life was that dramatic, and I thought I was a very healthy person with a really healthy diet before I started.
So no, I don’t think nutritional cleansing is a scam. I think you’d be crazy not to investigate it further, because I don’t think there is a single person in the world who doesn’t want to lose fat and feel better than they ever have in their entire life.
