Recover from your Christmas Day binge and kick start your new year’s resolution - written by Carmencita
Week 1 & 2
Slimming tea once a day before bed (I recommend slimatee )
2 litres of water a day (add lemon for extra detoxing)
Eat healthy balanced diet. For example:
Eat a big breakfast that will boost your metabolism and control your appetite throughout the day
Eg. Two slices of wholemeal bread, scrambled egg whites and an orange
Lunch should be high protein, low fat, some carbohydrates. Keep salt/sugar intake low
Eg. Chicken or turkey breast salad low calorie dressing and a low fat yogurt
Dinner should be low fat and substantial enough to sustain your needs though the evening
Eg. Grilled salmon/ white fish and as many vegetables as you like with a little brown rice
Take around 3-4 snacks per day to boost your metabolism
Eg. French set yoghurt, plain popcorn, rice cake, baked crisps, fun size chocolate treat.
Week 3 & 4
Baby food diet with one healthy meal in the evening or fish only / fake meat diet
2 litres of water a day
100 sit ups twice a day (40. rest. 30. rest. 20 . rest . 10)
Exercise 4- 5 times a week for at least 30 mins.
Week 5 -16
Jog for 25 minutes a day increase the weeks go by (first thing in the morning would be best.
Eat healthy balanced diet like above but snack only on nuts, fruit and veg
One bitesize chocolate, sweet etc. a day (if you must, but its best if you can resist)
Drink 2 litres of water a day
Zumba or insanity are great or exercise 30 minutes twice a day
My Story - This personally worked for me and I became a lot more toned and slim. It takes 21 days for it to become a habit so don’t think of it as a diet but more like a life style change. You’ll have more energy, motivation and confidence. It has now been 2 years since I dropped from a size 14/16 and I’m now a size 8/10 and have kept the weight off. Also, don’t be afraid to weight lift. It does not make you bulky but tones and helps aid weight loss even when you’re not training.
