Just because I teach about weight loss and nutrition doesn’t mean I’m a stranger to the gradual creep of weight during the long winter months. Nothing sets a person back like cold and gloomy weather, not to mention the barrage of candy and sugar laden holidays that we are forced to endure from Halloween through Easter.
Speaking of Easter, with that holiday just passed I decided it was time to get back on track and lose a few pounds this month. I want to buy myself some new summer clothes and would like to be a few pounds lighter when I do so. And….nothing says re-do like the first of the month.
For the next three days, I’m planning a serious detox.
#1 Warm apple cider vinegar or lemon water throughout the day.
#2 Fast until noon
#3 Clean Protein bar for lunch
#4 Bone Broth around 2 pm
#5 Fat flushing soup for dinner
#6 Collagen (1 scoop) detox tea around 7pm (stop eating)
Ingredients for the soup: 8 cups of bone broth, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 quart of shredded chicken, 1 can of black beans, 1 cup of celery and 1 cup of carrots. (additional vegetables if you want to add them: optional chopped cabbage, kale, zucchini) Spices: garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper.
Exercise will be moderate: yoga in the morning and no more than 2 easy run miles in the evening.
Hope you join me on this journey. Check back in 3 days for the next phase of the plan!
