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:
Safe Food Additives:
- Annatto
- Beet juice, beet powder
- Beta-carotene or carotene

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.
Enjoy and Good Luck On Your Weight Loss Journey!

Lose Weight With The Fat Loss Factor
The Fat Loss Factor is a 12-week online weight loss program created by Dr. Charles Livingston and his wife Lori Allen.
One of the main featuers of the system is detoxification. Trying to lose weight by dieting and exercising without the removal of toxins is only part of the equation. Toxins is what causing stubborn fat cells to reside in our bodies.
Likewise, trying to lose weight just by detoxing is extremely healthy, but the fact of the matter still remains that you must not eat more than your caloric daily intake in order to lose weight. The Fat Loss Factor combines these problems into a resolution that you can download in just 3 minutes following Dr. Charles' presentation.
With the program you will get an entire bundle of bonuses that are simply too much for me to list here (I don't like it when my posts get too long).
