OK, you went overboard with too much rich foods and alchohol over the past few days, and now you feel like total shit. First, forgive yourself, I've done it, too.
Next, do the following today, and I promise you WILL feel much better:
1. Yep, WATER. Drink some more.....go fill your water bottle! GO!!
2. Eat a good breakfast like the Power Spice Pancakes, or a hot bowl of oatmeal (steel cut oats, even better), a banana, and an egg white omlette with spinach.
3. Sweat your balls off! You got to get rid of the excess sodium!! No whimpy brisk walk or pansie jog. You have to sweat a lot for at least 30 minutes by intense movement, so it can be a kickboxing class, at home DVD, jump rope, cross country skiing, biking hard, etc. Have water with you.
4. Drink some tea. Go easy on milk and add just a little honey or agave nectar if you need sweetner.
5. Steer clear of artificial sweetners which can cause bloating.
6. You must eat--starving yourself today will not make you feel better! Eat 5 -6 small meals and include any of these foods:
- bananas
- grapefruit
- blueberries
- fresh spinach
- asparagus (yeh, it makes your pee smell weird)
- sweet potatoes
- peppermint tea
- green tea
7. Stay FAR away from processed foods!
8. Try this Fat-Flush protein shake from the December 2009 Oxygen Magazine. Blend all the following ingredients in a blender:
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 ripe kiwi (peeled and cut)
- 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 cup non-fat or low fat milk.
8. Drink more water...more than you usually do! (I know I said this already)
Happy Fitness!
I love comments!
SO many people blow off breakfast, or dont do it right!
ReplyDeleteScrambled eggs + salsa + cheese literally takes 5 minutes to make, tops. Tons of nutrients, great for you, 'sticks to your ribs' better than Cheerios or coffee/toast.
btw-- I let my Oxygen subscription lapse a while back, are they keeping things fresh (worth renewing), or is it kinda same ol?
