Festive bloating and New Year Detox

So who feels bloated, tired, sluggish and lacking motivation?

Over eating and having lots of sweet treats can make you feel like this!

Your body is telling you it needs a cleanse!

A 3 day detox is all you need followed by a healthy balanced diet.

Start with me New Year's Day, for now it is just the prep you need to do to make it work! 

What to do now:

1. Start throwing out or giving away all sweets, Chocolate, biscuits and mince pies!

2. Get your blender ready, or borrow or buy one...this will soon become your best friend for blitzing up healthy smoothies, soups and ingredients for healthy meals!

3. Tomorrow Go food shopping a buy 3 days worth of veg and fruit no meat or dairy until day 4! Shopping list coming in the next post!

4. Cut out caffeine now and switch to herbal teas such as peppermint, liquorice and detox blend teas. It's best to start easing off if u drink caffeine drinks daily. 

5. Get some yoga or Pilates DVDs ready for day 1. 

In the next post you will see the shopping list then my detox recipes will follow.

Get healthy in 2014!

Are you consuming enough Protein?

The amount of protein you need is worked out by your current BMI. Most people do not eat enough lean meat,dairy and plant protein in their diets. 

Add in protein snacks and start the day with a protein breakfast like an omelette or a yummy quick Formula 1 shake. This will keep you fuller for longer, increase your metabolism and help tone your body! Never cut out carbs...Eat low GI carbs with every eve meal!

I used to only eat around 40g of protein a day  and my body requires 80g! I now feel like I have more energy, sleep better and just full..never hungry! Not to mention the changes in my figure!

Get killer Abs!

Reduce your bloating with the below foods and cut out wheat for a week..switch to Almond milk and see how your bloating reduces! You will be surprised. You also need to drink 2.5litres of mineral or filtered water a day.

Then 6 times a week follow this routine, add some cardio in 4 days which can be Power walking, swimming, cross trainer or an aerobic class. In 4weeks you will see great progress!
