Detox Plan
Friendly but firm post holiday kick-start tips
The festive season is over and that means it's time to stop pretending another mince pie, glass of wine and box of chocolates is a good idea. We're not into 'faddy' detox plans - but we do have some great ideas to help kick start your health regime and really get going to see the new, healthier and more balanced you.
Detox teas
Swapping festive drinks for herbal and fruit teas can be a great way to consume something interesting but healthy. Take a trip to a large health shop and you'll find literally hundreds of wonderful flavours from passion fruit to nettle and mint.
Get back on track with smoothies
Most of us over-indulge during the festive celebrations, but it often ends up leaving us feeling bloated, pounds over weight and feeling low on energy and motivation (fun though it was at the time!). Smoothies are a great way to get back on track because they're filling, nutritious, energising and you can make them rich in protein with a scoop of Definity Natural to help control cravings and help you get in shape.
Ginger zinger smoothie
1 scoop Definity Natural, 1 banana, ½ teaspoon grated ginger, 1 cup chilled pineapple juice.
Very berry smoothie
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, 1/2 cup bio yoghurt, 1 scoop promax strawberry, 1 cup water.
A couple of smoothies a day will help replenish nutrients, control your appetite, keep you away from junk food and get you back on track to healthy eating.
Graze instead of gorge!
Forget about 24/7 festive gorging and get back into the routine of eating 3 balanced meals per day, plus a couple of healthy high protein snacks. Build meals around a fist-sized portion of protein, a fist of low GI carbohydrates and small portions of good fats (oily fish, nuts, seeds).
Home fitness
It can be a drag getting to the gym in the new year, especially with the post-holiday 'fitness rush' making gyms very busy. Instead, invest in some affordable home fitness products. There are some excellent fitness DVDs in the shops, plus fitness bands for resistance workouts. Exercise, then treat yourself to an aromatherapy bath to aid your motivation.
Kick-start your 2010 with our simple tips and inspire yourself to be healthy, fit and happy. In less than 7 days you'll blow away the festive cobwebs and feel re-energised to reach any fitness goal you set your heart on.
