A NEW YEAR, A NEW YOU!
Ok here it is….. I have spent these past 10 days healing my foot and researching my new plan of attack for the New Year.
I have infused many different eating and exercising philosophies
into one complete lifestyle that is easy for everyone to life with.
ALTERNATING CLEAN EATING WITH CHEAT DAYS
1.
3 day eating clean with a total of 1500 calories
a day. Then, 1 day of cheat eats with a total of 1700 calories. Then back to 2
days clean. Then 1 day cheat. Then repeatJ
I was trying to keep up my 5 days clean and then 2 days of cheat.
However, I found that it is too hard on my body and mind. So, I found that
mixing it up really has helped me substantially!
2.
Incorporate foods that will work with
you and not against you. Make sure to include: Mufa’s , Bloat busters, Vitamin C rich
foods and Magnesium.
Mufas
are Mono-unsaturated fats. Check out a list of foods by clicking here http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/good-sources-mufas-2751.html
Bloat busters are foods and our drinks to
help reduce bloat, help in aiding digestion and detoxing liver. Some great
rehydrating drinks that also aid in bloat reduction are:
Dandelion tea or
leaves. Adding fresh ginger to any juices or recipes. I love, love ginger!!!
Loads of vitamin c with a mufa combo ( ie.. fresh strawberries with a nut
butter or apple slices with almond butter)
cucumbers, celery, parsley, lemons,
Magnesium rich foods first thing in the morning. Include the following
in your diet as often as you can:
• Kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds, cashews, buckwheat, brazil nuts, dulse, filberts, millet, pecans, walnuts, rye,
tofu, soy beans, brown rice,
figs, dates, collard greens,
shrimp, avocado, parsley, beans, barley, dandelion greens, and garlic
Stop draining your body of magnesium
Magnesium deficiency has even has been linked to inflammation in the body
and higher CRP levels.
In our society, magnesium deficiency is a huge problem. By conservative
standards of measurement (blood, or serum, magnesium levels), 65 percent of
people admitted to the intensive care unit -- and about 15 percent of the
general population -- have magnesium deficiency. Information provided by Mark Hyman, MD.
3.
3-2-1 day workout. 3 days a week of intense multi muscled
workout. Which means, using legs/ arms and core muscles all in one move. For
example; using moderate weights- step into a back lung with a twist toward the
front leg. Working legs/arms and core. Or any and all plank moves. Pick any and
just do it. 2 days of cardio followed by
a great stretching routine and then finally 1 day of restJ Optimal is planning
your rest day on a clean eat day.
