Digestion and Weight Loss - An Often Overlooked Path to Lose Weight

I recently wrote to someone who was experiencing nausea when they were eating despite being hungry all the time. Ill share with you what I wrote as this is a fairly common problem, and one that will severely limit your ability to lose weight.

Problems with digestion for whatever reason tend to cause problems whenever that system is used. Feeling sick when you eat could be related to that.

Digestive problems are often caused by stress but also have many other causes, including ingesting any synthetic substances (food additives, pesticides), drugs, alcohol, sugar, processed foods just to name a few. These problems also sometimes require a response from your immune system as undigested food can and often does make it into the blood stream when digestion isn't functioning properly.

It is important to take the pressure off your digestive system by eliminating all processed foods, sugar, and any chemicals from your diet which it wasn't designed to deal with. Avoid anything hard to process like heavy meats (for example beef and pork). You need to supply your body with something so try to eat soups or blended foods and see if you feel better.

This is only temporary though, a digestive system in trouble often causes other more serious problems, so it needs to be checked out by someone who knows what they are doing. I would recommend seeing a doctor who specialises in preventive or holistic medicine, as they are generally more aware of problems of this nature.

In my experience and learning from the experience of others, problems with the digestive system are very common and are often the reason why people can't lose weight or have intense cravings. It is vital that we take care of our digestive system as when dysfunction occurs here problems will manifest elsewhere and it is almost impossible to get good results from proper training and traditional dieting methods.
