Huge list of detoxifying and cleansing foods

It took me countless hours of searching far and wide, but I have finally compiled a huge list of detoxifying and cleansing foods.

Huge List of Detoxifying and Cleansing Foods

No more slideshows of the “top 10 detoxifying foods” or super long articles explaining why each food does what it does.

Does anybody really care why they do their job? I don’t. I just want to know what foods I need to incorporate into my life to reap the benefits of these amazing detoxifying and cleansing foods.

I did my best to find links for the items below, but I couldn’t get them all. If you need help finding something let me know.

How to naturally increase your breast size

I’ve always had smaller breasts than I would have liked. Granted they weren’t as small as they are now.

How to Naturally Increase Your Breast Size

When I got pregnant, they plumped up a little. Certainly not as much as all the other chicks I’ve known.

Everybody kept telling me that my boobs would get (and stay) larger if I breastfed. So, of course breastfeeding sounded like the best course of action.

Nope! My breasts actually decreased in size from breastfeeding. Man was that disappointing. Shit happens; what can you do?

My Quest For Bigger Breasts

I’m not interested in getting plastic surgery to have bigger boobs. I don’t want fake, weird shit in my body.

I want naturally larger breasts without surgery and chemicals. But I couldn’t figure out how in the world to do that.

At one points, I wondered if they could just take some fat from my butt or my evil hips and use that. Sounded possible. But there we are, right back at liposuction and surgery. Not my cup of tea.

So over the years, I’ve been doing research here and there, trying to figure out a natural way to make my boobs bigger.

Note: The most important thing to remember is that the only quick way to increase your breast size is to get breast implants. If that’s not something you want to do, then be patient and consistent. Give things time to get into your body and allow them to do their job, nothing is going to happen overnight. It’s that simple, so stay focused on the end result and do what needs to be done (consistently) to get yourself there.

Weight Gain

Aside from the fact that I’m needing to lose weight in the first place, this one is a toss up. I’ve gained weight (and lost it) more times than I can count—and never once has it gone to my boobs.

Everyone’s body is different and so is the distribution of new fat cells in the body. Just because one person gains weight and it all goes to their tits, doesn’t mean it will work for everybody.

If you’re interested in trying to gain weight to see if your boobs will get bigger, make sure you’re already at a healthy weight and relatively fit. If not, you’re just making yourself get fat. Duh!

If all else fails and my other options below don’t work, I will try this as a last resort after losing weight and getting my body in shape…and only then. It hasn’t worked in the past, so I highly doubt it will work in the future by gaining extra weight.

Weight Loss

Most women’s breast decrease (shrink) in size when losing weight. Not all of them, just as weight gain doesn’t always work for everyone.

Don’t be afraid to lose weight because you don’t want your breasts to shrink. That is just retarded!

If you’re overweight and know you need to lose weight, suck it up and deal with the consequences later. There are always options to increase your breast size later. Plus, your boobs will look much sexier with a healthy body.

Sometimes losing weight can actually make some boobs look larger. I’m assuming that this is because all that excess fat around your chest and stomach is gone—which will better display your breasts.

The Natural Alternatives For Bigger Boobs

No weird boob growth pills or surgery here, no sir. Just natural goodness with the potential to increase your breast size.

Now, for the disclaimer: I am not a doctor or anything that could be considered a professional to give such advice. I’m merely sharing the spoils of my endless search for naturally larger breasts. Check with a doctor before doing anything on this blog, especially if you have some sort of issue or are pregnant. Common sense people; I’m just a regular girl like everybody else. Okay, now that that’s out of the way, onto the goods.

#1 Soy Isoflavones Supplements – The recommended dosage (of this particular product <if you click on the link>) is 1 capsule per day. So what I would do is try this once a day for about 3 to 4 months. If after 3 or 4 months I didn’t see any change, then I would increase it to 2 capsules split between lunch and dinner. Obviously I would drink a crap-ton of water everyday as well.

#2 Fenugreek Seed Supplements – The recommended dosage (of this particular product <if you click on the link>) is 2 capsule 2-3 times a day. So I would take 2 capsules with breakfast, lunch and dinner and continue to do so for 3-4 months. If after 3 or 4 months I didn’t see any change, then I would increase it to either 3 or 4 capsules with each meal. Obviously, just like above I would drink a crap-ton of water everyday as well.

#3 Soy Beans Sprouts – Sprouted seeds usually have much higher contents of the good stuff you get from the non-sprouted seeds. So, I would assume that sprouted soybeans would be a great way to get a higher dose of booby-growing-goodness. You can eat this by the handful, in (or as) a salad, on a sandwich and much more.

#4 Fenugreek Sprouts – Same as the soybean sprouts above.

I’m not sure whether doing both (Soybean & Fenugreek) at once would be helpful or not, so you would have to decide that on your own. Personally, I would try one at a time. That way I would know for sure which one was the winner.

New to Sprouting?

If you’re new to sprouting, it’s not that difficult, most sprouting seeds come with instructions on the package or as a brochure.

Basically, you buy the sprouting seeds and a Seed Sprouter (the link is to the one I use and love), rinse the seeds, soak the seeds overnight in a dish of water, rinse the next morning, put them in the sprouter and give them a rinse of water twice a day.

 

Then you just gently shake them in a bowl of water (to remove the hulls) when they’re ready to harvest. See, not too difficult.

I HATE my hips!

I really hate my hips! If my hips weren’t so big, I wouldn’t look so fat.

Not that I’m “oh, my gosh—how did she get through the door” fat, but enough to still be considered fat. And it all starts with the hips.

Now I’m not saying that the rest of me is slim as shit, but the hips are the worst. They make me look wide (wide load coming through) and it offsets everything else.

Where is this coming from today? The cool weather got me in the mood to throw on some adorable winter boots, warm fitted black leggings and a cute as hell skirt. There might also be a cute black top involved as well, but that’s beside the point.

So I put on this cute, cozy ensemble and felt comfy and gorgeous…until I looked in mirror. Ick! What the hell was I thinking???

From the thighs down, I look absolutely cute. But that’s where it stops. As the eyes take in the whole picture (or veer up from the thighs), it’s just a mess.

My hips are so big that it throws everything off and ruins the outfit. I tried pairing it with a hip-length black open sweater. All that did was add more mass to the dreaded hip region.

Stupid hips! I hate you. Hate, hate, hate!

Tracking Weight Loss Successfully

One of the best ways to set yourself up for weight loss failure is to only track your weight. Sure jumping on the scale and seeing the numbers go down is an accurate way of seeing if your body weight is lower.

But that doesn’t mean that you’re losing fat. It only means that your body weighs less or more than the previous weighing. Remember, muscle takes up less space than fat.

 

How Should You Track Weight Loss

There are many ways to track your weight loss, but since not everybody has lots of money to spare on expensive medical procedures, I’ll stick to the basics.

A Simple Tape Measure

I love using a tape measure to track my weight loss, it only takes a couple of minutes and the results are outstanding. I’m sure you’ve had those weeks where you did awesome with your workouts and healthy eating, but the scale just didn’t budge. That can be really discouraging, like why even bother if it’s not working.

They also have fancy digital tape measure out there, I’m sure those results are much more accurate than standard tape measure. Probably much easier too.

But it’s not always about weight. When we think about weight loss, what we’re really shooting for is to lose fat, shrink our bodies and possibly even increase our muscle a little. So stop relying on the scale.

You might have had a kick ass week, yet not lost a pound…but how much did you shrink your body? Did you turn some of your fat into muscle? How many inches did you lower your circumference?

See, that’s why you need to keep track of other things beside the actual numbers. The scale can be a lying ass clown, but your body won’t lie.

How often to do it: weekly

Clothing Sizes

This only works with clothes that have not been worn while you gained weight. Clothes stretch out overtime and are no longer the same size they were.

As an example, I had dropped 60 pounds and bought 3 of the cutest tank tops ever in a large. I loved them and alternated between the 3 of them 6 days a week. So almost every single day, these were being worn…even while I gained back all my weight. One of them ended up getting ruined, so I jumped online and ordered another one in the same “large” size since they all still fit me—even though I gained 60 pounds (and a couple more) back. When  I went to wear the top, I couldn’t even get it on. Yeah, it was that bad and utterly embarrassing.

The point of that story was to convince you to only use new clothes for an accurate measurement of weight loss.

Go to the store and try on enough variety to get an average size for your starting point.

Buy a few pairs of pants and tops you’re dying to wear in multiple smaller sizes and use those as reference points. Although I’m always hesitant to purchase clothing in smaller sizes because you never really know what shape your body will take on as it loses weight. To each their own though.

How often to do it: monthly

Pencil Markings

You know how some parents would make lines at the top of children’s heads when they stood against the wall to track their growth? You can do the same with a twist.

If you have a someone to help: they could just outline your entire body, your torso, your hips and waist or whatever else would give you a reference in pencil on a wall.

If you want to do it privately: grab two pencils and mark what you can without moving. Moving will distort the proportions and not net accurate results.

Now, once a month just redo the markings and see the results get smaller. Easy and a great visual.

Some ideas for where to do the markings if you’re trying to be inconspicious:

  • The wall inside your closet (just remove the clothing first)
  • Behind doors (like a bathroom, closet or bedroom door- when open, it just disappears)
  • Garage wall or storage unit door
  • Behind a dresser or bookshelf (this takes more work)
How often to do it: monthly

Before, During & After Photos

Everybody loves these, but not too many fat people like having their photo taken. What kind of sick people want pictures of fat people anyway? Just kidding. Sort of.

If you have a camera with a timer, you could take the photos yourself. Just set it up at the same distance and aim it for the same exact spot every time. Make sure that you are standing in the same place each time as well.

Digital is the way to go here, that way you don’t have to drop film off and then come back to get your pictures that you KNOW everybody saw. I would just die!

A really awesome thing to do with the photos, would be to do it every single day without fail and than you can create a video showing you drop the weight. You don’t have to put it online or anything, but it would be awesome to have as a personal reference and motivational tool.

How often to do it: daily, weekly or monthly

Last and Least- The Scale

Yeah, I meant to say last and least…opposed to “last but not least” on purpose. The scale only tells your weight and not what’s really going on in your body.

Sure they have fancy super scales out there that will tell your body fat, water weight and much else. But who really knows how accurate those are. The one below has over 2,000 reviews and is over 4 stars…but still I hesitate. Maybe I’ll get it one of these days instead of keeping it on my wishlist. :) Has anybody tried this? Love? Hate? Mixed feelings?

Use the scale in the beginning to get your start weight, once a month to track any reduction in weight and that’s sufficient. The scale should be used as more of a long-term measurement than anything else.

IF you’re not prone to discouragement, then you could weight yourself once a week…but NO MORE than that. Our weight naturally fluctuates throughout the day, each day and during each month (especially if you’re a chick).

These things can be discouraging when you’re busting your ass every day and not seeing the results you’ve earned. So chill out on the scale and focus on the above means of measurement for your primary results.

How often to do it: monthly or weekly if you can avoid discouragement

The bottom line: Scales are shifty buggers and there are many other valid and accurate ways to measure your weight loss success. Use as many of these as you can to keep yourself motivated, focused and on track to successful weight loss.

What’s your favorite way to track your weight loss results?
