What is a Diuretic?
A diuretic is a medication or chemical that promotes the elimination of fluid in the body. This can lead to an accelerated metabolism that flushes out the fatty deposits that lodge themselves on cells. Diuretics break down fatty deposits into small chunks making it easier for your body to flush these nasty little things out of your system.
Asparagus
Asparagus contains the chemical asparagine. This is an alkaloid that stimulates the kidneys and improves the circulatory process. These alkaloids directly affect the cells and break down fat. It also contains a chemical that helps to remove waste from the body by breaking up the oxalic acid, this acid tends to glue fat to cells, so by breaking the acid up, it helps to reduce fat levels.
Beets
Beets are a strong diuretic that focuses on the liver and kidneys. Beets flush out floating body fats. They have a special iron that cleanses the corpuscles. (Corpuscles are blood cells that can contain fat deposits). Beets also contain chlorine, which assist the lymphatic system in clearing fat deposits from the body.

Garlic
Garlic has mustard oils and these oils create a cleansing action in the body. They promote a vigorous action of peristalsis, which is muscular contraction, and this will loosen fat and help wash out fats. They can also breakdown clumps of fat. So eat garlic and thin down.

It is Sunday evening and I’m sitting here listening to the sounds of my husband working on our new offices. He has completely amazed me. Last year when he started this project I never doubted he could do the work. I have watched the space go up one board at a time. The frame & roof, then the electrical & plumbing and central air ducts, followed by the hanging of drywall and endless days of sanding. A lesser man would have left the drywall work to someone else. He then installed the ceiling fans and lighting fixtures, primed and painted the walls and laid the carpet. Today he has been working on the molding around all the doors and windows.
Side note: I wrote this testimony in 2006 just before the death of my mother. As I re-read it today I realized the truths I had learned and looking back nearly ten years, how much I would still learn. Growth must be continual and on-going. –Be Blessed, Dara Dietz
