Safe weight loss is the safest and most effective approach and in order to acquire it naturally, perhaps the two most important factors are dieting and exercise.

Although dieting may be only half the program when it comes to a safe weight loss regimen, the kind of diet is what would make the whole process successful. Where can you find it? Right there in the produce aisle.

Now friends before we go further, lets go over what a safe weight loss is. Its about maintaining health while losing weight, it is not about losing weight rapidly; this has never worked and never will.

To acquire a loss of weight that will be effective and at the same time healthy for the body, as mentioned earlier, besides exercise, you need to choose the right substances for food. The very best choices are quite simply our fruits and vegetables.

There is a saying that is known to every culture which goes: you are what you eat... What you eat plays arguably the most important role on your overall health and fitness, thus PROPER DIET should be the most important factor of any and every health seeker.

It is well known that fruits and vegetables alone are the substances that possess the abilities to not only provide the necessary fuel needed for day to day activities, but play important and vital roles in

1. Providing the alkaline reserves in the body for balancing chemical metabolism within.

2. Cleansing the digestive and excretory tract as they act as the much needed intestinal broom to sweep these 'pipes' clean to function properly in their duties of nourishing and cleansing the body.

3. Keeping the body fit, trim and in shape WITHOUT the unwanted side effects of toxic and artificial substances such as pills and supplements.

Moreover, is it a co-incidence that these are the very foods divinely ordained as being the food for humans? Today science has verified the accuracy of the Biblical accounts of the dietetic habits of the first men on earth as recorded in Genesis 1:29: Every herb bearing seedand every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be for meat.

No one is saying that diet alone will bring about desired results in regards to weight loss. However, it goes without saying that if one subsists on fruits and vegetables, when properly consumed, it will greatly augment whatever exercise one could and should be doing to lose weight.

As a matter of fact, I can go as far as to say you certainly cant gain weight on fruit. Being proactive cleansers, by nature they would be more of detoxifiers first rather than body-builders for a while when one consumes fruits in large, yet reasonable quantities.

This explains why people lose a lot of weight on going on an all raw-diet. (No one is saying you must go that far, however, it should be food for thought.)

Nonetheless, if a safe weight loss is your goal, it goes without saying that you want to linger more in the produce section than in the snacks aisle or the candy section at the cash-registers. So instead of reaching for some junk food, grab an apple instead.

Our friend in the mirror will be glad you did.
