According to research, there are over 3000 additives routinely used in our foods. I'm sure that you have run into them if you are reading the ingredients on your food labels. (Usually the words on the back that you can't pronounce are food additives and preservatives)
A person consumes nearly 150lbs of these food additives each year.
Let's take a minute and think about this... Our "authorities" have stated that these food additives are safe to consume in small doses. This is shown by research. And of course large doses of any of these compounds can potentially kill you.
Here is the main problem: Research doesn't show the safety of eating a bunch of foods with food additives. OR eating combinations of food additives OR consuming small amounts over time. Does this make sense?
What is regarded as "safe" really isn't safe at all.
Your Body Can't Process Synthetic Chemicals
Since these are synthetic chemicals, the body doesn't recognize them as natural substances and has difficulty neutralizing and eliminating them. The end result: the toxins will be stored in fat cells and other metabollically depressed areas in the body. Which means that you will gain large amounts of weight.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people report adverse reactions to these so called "safe" synthetic food additives. Anything from headaches, nausea, diarrhea, hormonal dysfunction, metabolic changes, liver damage, problems with sexual function, cancer, mutation of DNA, kidney stones, etc. The list goes on and on. Going on a detox diet will help your body to purge those fat cells of toxic substances and allow the fat to just melt away. Your body will then have the chance to heal itself from the detrimental effects of these chemicals.
Below is a list of safe food additives:

These lists are by no means complete. The few food additives that I have listed are some of the most common ones found on the ingredients labels. A good rule of thumb to follow is that if you cannot pronounce the words on the ingredients label, then avoid the food. Chances are really high that it is bad for you.
Avoiding food additives is a small thing to do in your diet but will yield big results. Just by getting rid of these, it is possible to lose 30lbs in a couple of months.
Lose Fat With Metabolic Cooking
Here is a quick list of the pros and cons of the program
Cons
Nothing's perfect and here are the flaws I noticed in this diet plan:
- As this is a collection of cookbooks so it might seem like a daunting task for someone who inexperienced when it comes to cuisine. It could take a novice a couple of days to get the hang of it.
- Some of you who are expert fitness trainers might find this a bit too basic but you have to understand that this was written keeping in mind the average Joe who doesn’t know much about weight loss so it covers the basics and then moves onward.
- There are over 200 recipes in there so it took me quite some time to sift through them all and decide which ones I would like the best – according to my taste of course.
Pros
- Simplicity: This is their fault and the reason of their success. The simplicity of the book is outstanding. I didn’t get confused even once. It takes you by the hand and explains everything in detail.
- Cutting Down on Your Favorite Dishes: Probably the best thing about this system- You don’t have to let go of your favorite dishes. You can eat whatever you want; you just have to follow the guidelines of the book while making it; which by the way, for me improved the taste even more!
- Limitless Weight Loss: The amount of weight loss depends on you and you alone. You can lose 5 pounds or 50 pounds. Your choice.
- Economic Factor: This system proved very economical for me. The ingredients in the dishes are pretty cheap and easily available everywhere.
- Metabolic Nutri-Profile: This is a unique profiling system that designs from scratch a nutritional profile which varies for every person. This is what it looks like:
- Guarantee: Though I don’t see why this system wouldn’t work for you. But if for some reason you are not satisfied they will refund you every cent no questions asked!
