After the holiday season where we indulge in all sorts of diet -cheating, the Tone It Up team has given us a few tip son how to bounce back into a healthy routine for the new year.
1. Drink UP!
Focus on drinking half of your body weight in water throughout the day. example: 150lbs = 75 ounces of water. This should help any sweet food cravings. Try mixing natural flavors like cucumber and mint into your water.
2. RAW FOODS.
Raw food diets can be intimidating, but it's important to focus on for at least two days. Your digestive system has been on overdrive- so just give it a break! It'll cleanse your system and you'll feel lighter. Don't cook your raw foods unless you sneak some lean meat in there. Tempeh, tofu, and fish are the best options to have alongside 2 meals if you're going to have some lean protein over the next couple of days.
Examples of Raw Foods:
• Fruits – apples, bananas, papaya (has break digestive enzymes), grapefruit, watermelon, kiwi, berries, mangos etc…
- Vegetables – KALE (a great source of fiber), broccoli, spinach, green beans, zuccini, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, ONIONS – (cleanse the liver) peppers etc…
- Avocado
- Wheat grass & psyllium husk - Psyllium husk is an AMAZING source of fiber! Mix 1 tbs with almond milk once a day for the next 2 days to help cleanse your system. We buy the natural flavor at whole foods, but here’s a link to their flavored variety.
- Some nuts & seeds – keep these on the low side for the next day.
- Raw black beans or garbanzo beans – loaded with fiber & nutrients
- Herbs & Spices – cinnamon, parsley, basil, cilantro, cayenne, ginger, onion powder, garlic, mint etc…
