Lose fat, feel great and get ready for the holiday season. You can take advantage of this time leading up to the holiday season to fit into that perfect party outfit, get picture ready and have energy to do everything on your holiday list. So what fat loss program can accomplish all of this?

A body cleansing program for fat loss can help. When done right, a body cleansing program will help you flush fat, balance your hormones, curb food cravings and give you more energy. You can get healthier while shedding weight at the same time.

Start by eating foods that will help flush fat. Include fresh fruits that are considered Low Energy Density. These fruits have a higher content of enzymes, water and fiber which helps to eliminate excess fat while strengthening your metabolism.

The best fruits to eat for this effect are apples, oranges, peaches, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, grapefruit, watermelon, papayas, honeydew melon and cantaloupes.

Next, be sure to include lots of fresh, green salads. Top with other finely cut veggies to help your body stimulate digestive enzymes and rev your metabolism. Use a variety of greens for your salad including Romaine lettuce, baby greens and spinach. Top with other chopped veggies such as red, yellow and green peppers, cauliflower, broccoli and shredded carrots for a variety of color, flavor and nutrients.

Top your salad with fat burning apple cider vinegar and flax seed oil. This combination helps kill bacteria, dissolve accumulated fat and remove waste. And it tastes good. For more flavor and fat flushing effect, add a squeeze of citrus like lemon, lime or orange juice.

Include small portions of lean protein throughout your day. The right proteins will help your liver burn fat, feed your muscles and keep your metabolism raised. The best proteins to use are lean chicken, lean turkey, lean organic beef, organic eggs, sprouts, garbanzo beans and fish such as halibut, tuna and cod.

Keep the portions small, about four to six ounces. You can judge how much is right for you by keeping your portion to about the size of your palm.

Yogurt fits in the category of protein, yet deserves its own section since it is a staple for a good fat loss program. Research consistently shows that those who consume yogurt lose belly fat at a higher rate. Read the labels and eat only yogurt that has live bacteria such as acidophilus, lactobacillus and bifidus. Also, avoid white sugar, artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup as these can all sabotage your efforts.

A good body cleansing program for fat loss should include whole food supplements that add nutrition and help your organs work to stay on top of the fat burning process. Adding nutrition from the right sources also help keep your energy up, keep your mood elevated and keep your metabolism revved.

Food supplements from whole food sources include the Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) to satiate appetite and supply vital nutrients for your brain, skin and hair. Use green tea to help shed belly fat and ward off carcinogens (cancer causing agents). Vitamins C and B6 and the mineral chromium help your body produce Growth Hormone, an important hormone that helps your body burn calories, keeps your immune system strong and muscles full.

Include a fiber supplement in your body cleansing program, such as psyllium. Fiber helps your body sweep out waste from your digestive tract. Eliminating excess build up can help your body more efficiently absorb nutrients from the foods and supplement you consume, which can help lessen food cravings and ensures you have the energy you need.

Excess waste build up can also add up to more pounds, so getting rid of it is an important step in any body cleansing program. If you feel you need more help to cleanse, try a fiber with cleansing herbs added to it. These herbs can help a sluggish system become more efficient. They also can help your body heal itself of digestive issues among other things.

Don't forget to exercise! Mild, daily exercise such as walking helps stimulate your body to keep waste, including unwanted fat, moving out. And a mild walk with short periods of brisk walking are better at fat burning than a strenuous workout, since it doesn't cause your body to produce stress hormones that can actually cause you to store fat. Walking also helps pump your calf muscles, which help your circulatory system to remove waste.

And don't forget the one big don't - don't eat junk and processed foods. These have the opposite effect of a body cleanse. They add waste build up, cause your body to store fat, and make you too sluggish to stay motivated. So opt to replace these foods with healthier foods from the above list.

Use all of these tips to help you create your body cleanse for fat loss. You can shed up to 15 pounds before your next holiday party if you plan right and start now. Have a happy and healthy winter.
