Fat loss and toxin release, is there a correlation?

[hm05]

I have read that many toxins are stored in the fat cells in the body, and when one loses weight, or burns fat so to speak, these toxins are released.  If this is true, then where exactly are these toxins going?  Through which organ are these toxins filtered if at all?  I am assumming it would be through the liver.  I know that many specific toxins like THC, are stored in the fat cell, and when one loses weight, this can be released in to the blood stream.  Is this true? I have heard of people becoming very ill, even more ill than if they did not lose weight, when these toxins are overloaded in the system. What other toxins that we are exposed to, are we releasing when we start burning fat? I am wondering if there is a correlation between significant weight loss, (not by Gastric bypass), toxin release, and the development of disease.  We are always told how unhealthy it is to be obese, but rarely hear about people getting very sick, after a significant weight loss.  Is it possible, that this "shock" to a system, could spark off an underlying problem? I just know that personally, when I have lost a good amount of weight, I sometimes feel terrible, worse than before, and wonder if this is some type of toxin overload into the system. Could someone tackle this question please, Thank you.

Dear all,

This article is from the National Health Service in the UK (they have no agenda other than to keep people healthy).

Please read part "4" on detox diets and the last 2 paragraphs about how to live healthily and lose weight.

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/loseweight/Pages/how-to-diet.aspx

The other thing than really helps if you want to lose weight or eat healthily is to find a "buddy" who will go through the process with you to help motivate you when you feel like giving up (this is much easier now with the internet (blog sites / social networking etc.

All the best,

Rob

Toxins from everything, drinks, foods, medicines, cosmetics (lotions perfumes, makeup) are all stored between fat cells.  Picture a glass of ice.  Add juice.  The ice is your fat cells, ll combine together but add juice and the float around. This is where cellulite, jiggle, and other prob areas come from....these toxins can also cause things like rashes, blemishes, stretch marks, irritated pores...etc. Losing weight can release these toxins nd make some people sick.  there are a few ways to detox to get these toxins out
Easily and without getting sick.  It makes u healthier on top of trimming and toning you, slimming you down. I'm a professional who helps people with weight loss and detoxing all naturally!  Email me anytime for more info ***@****

Did you know that your brain makes its own chemical called anandamide that is nearly identical to THC?  That's why THC is not experienced by the body as a toxin. It's very close to something your own brain makes. THC does not harm any cells in your body. Socially and politically, it characterized as a toxin, but that has nothing to do with the physical reality.

However, if you are really deeply concerned about THC, then there is one chemical that is known to "detox" you from THC -- and from anandamide too. It's called Rimonabant. Taking Rimonabant is known to completely remove the  marijuana high. It blocks the THC from your brain  and body completely.

Problem is, the side effects of Rimonabant include multiple sclerosis and suicidal depression. So maybe you're safer with the THC than you are would the drug that has been developed to counteract it.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out why I am having terrible rashes surrounding my thighs. Just googling and found this discussion. It seems that my recently activity going to gym to loose weight might have something to do with these rashes. But, still not sure. Could anyone confirm that exercises and sweating can actually trigger toxin released through skin and initiate rashes?

Hi Blondo,

Yes I have a rash as I continue to lose weight, sweat, exercise immensely after being very heavy for 2 years I am melting it off. The past 2 months have
been difficult it seems I break out after a heavy work out, I eat much healthier
and drink alot of detox natural foods. I believe this has brought some chemical from my fat loss my skin and body is reacting too but I am not sure.
What are your symptoms?

Extreme weight loss in the past 2 years but recently started getting a painful
itching rash all over my body. what were your symptoms? Can you share?
