Raw and Cooling Foods aid Natural Weight Loss

Raw and Cooling Foods aid Natural Weight Loss

Ellie Savoy 26/08/2019 4

Nourishing and hydrating summertime foods will have a positive impact on your weight loss efforts.

Why is it that in the summer we naturally crave more fresh and raw foods? These foods have a cooling effect on the body. The lightness and high water, fiber and vitamin content work together to act as our internal air conditioning during these warm months. At this time of year we also need less dense, high-energy food because we get so much energy from being outside in the fresh air and sunshine.

There is no better season than summer to have fun creating your own fresh, tasty, creative salad combinations and other raw food preparations. By simply tossing together several of your favorite raw veggies, naked or with a light dressing, you have a perfect meal for a hot summer’s day. Cream of Cucumber Soup is also incredibly hydrating, delicious and takes minutes to make.

Cream of cucumber soup is a great summertime cooling food and great for weight loss.

Watch the holistic health video below to see how easy and fun it is to make cream of cucumber soup.

The possible combinations of healthy, cooling foods are endless. Try your favorite leafy lettuce with various sliced, diced or grated veggies. Fresh herbs are a wonderful option to mix in, as they are packed full of flavor.

Experiment with adding diverse forms of protein to your salads, such as nuts, seeds, beans, tofu, fish or poultry.

Be sure to have lots of fun! It’s a natural way to invest in your health and lose weight easily.

Remember summertime is great for trying new things and experiencing some exciting adventures. Read my article about the positive weight loss effects of adding some variety, fun and adventure to your holistic lifestyle.

Ellie Savoy is a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach and the author of the #1 international best selling book “Stop Dieting Start Living: 5 Foundations for Your Health to Permanently Lose Weight Without Dieting Starvation or Suffering in Silence”. She is also the founder of the Stop Dieting Start Living Weight Loss System. Her commonsense and step by step approach has literally transformed the way people look at their body, health and life. She spent over two decades under a great deal of stress. She lost sight of the importance of her health time and time again; gaining weight and yo-yo dieting to take care of it, skipping meals during the day, eating too late at night, and letting work dictate how all of her time was spent. Many people need a trigger for change in life and the first trigger for her was her mother’s passing in 2008. Then just 21 months later her father passed away. Not only was this a ton of grief to process, but it started her on a deeper exploration of what is really important in this life. The saying “you can’t take it with you when you die” really hit home. She had been living with so much stress striving for more and more losing sight of herself and her health. The final trigger was in 2011 when she was diagnosed with two uterine fibroids. The four options she was given were actually not options for her! Three involved surgery and the other one was to do nothing. This scared her into understanding what she needed to do to naturally heal her body and permanently end the yo-yo dieting dilemma. This was when she really embraced making healthy permanent lifestyle changes. Since then she has been enjoying living a diet free and healthy life, without aches and pains, medications and a bunch of rules! She hasn’t looked back since. Ellie’s approach is not just for yo-yo dieters or those wanting to lose weight – it’s for everyone who is concerned about what their future looks like and wants to take control of their health. She has helped women with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid imbalance, irritable bowel syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and a host of other symptoms. Ellie helps you to show up in your own life, stop making excuses, shift your mindset, have a plan and connect with the passion in your belly to live your best life. It’s a lot of fun!
