Thought this was a topic that needs addressing as everyone who loses weight comes across this issue at some point. You get to a stage where it doesn't seem to matter what you do you just can't shift the weight.
Fat is a storehouse for toxins.
We are surrounded by toxins. We eat, breathe and drink toxins. All drugs are toxic to a greater or lesser degree. All these toxins need to be dealt with by the body. Whereas maybe one or two hundred years ago the toxins that were ingested were relatively negligible, nowadays we are 'drowning' in them.
Chemicals, plastics, food additives, drugs, pesticides, herbicides and any other 'cides or 'izers you can think of. Polycarbonates, benzenes, nitrates, sulphites, gases - the list is endless.
Our livers are bombarded every minute of the day with endless barrages of different toxins and sooner or later they get to the point where they can't cope. The body then shelves the toxins into fat cells where they can do less damage to be dealt with at a later date. Many will likely have experienced times when they have gained weight for no apparent reason - many drugs list weight gain as a side effect - they load the body with too many toxins for it to be able to cope with.
When people diet they are releasing toxins into the bloodstream. These then have to go back through the liver to be processed again and hopefully eliminated from the body. Sooner or later though the bloodstream gets saturated and weight loss has to stop.
The only way to lose weight is to give the body the tools to be able to deal with the toxins. Plenty of pure water, preferably filtered (plastic bottled water can be contaminated with PVC's) or in glass bottles, and pure organic food. Nothing processed or mucked about with. Eliminate as many sources of toxins as possible from your environment - choose natural fabrics, cleaning products, good old fashioned soap and water (not the yukky squirty stuff). No sprays, etc.
Insects and pests are annoying, but what damages them damages us.
The more toxic we become and the harder the liver has to work to deal with it all, the more likely it is that we will suffer with allergies and intolerances.
It is impossible in this system to escape everything, but there are ways of improving our food and environment and lessening the burden on our poor beleaguered livers.
PS. This has made me consider very closely the type of fats I consume - if fat is a toxin store than it is quite possible that certain fats - particularly unorganic ones could actually be contributing to my toxic load.
