Undo Holiday Damage
Every year it’s the same story…
“I’m not going to over eat”
“I won’t over celebrate and under sleep”
“I won’t drink to get hangovers from Christmas and New Years Eve”
…but every year I do. By the time the New Year comes around, I have so many resolutions to make that I don’t know where to start. The worst kind of damage we do to ourselves over the holidays.
But there is hope.
According to Dr. Oz, here are some of most important things you can do to undo holiday damage:
- Start walking.
- Tell people about your goals. Get enablers who reinforce your bad habits out of the way.
- Sleep. If you sleep the 7 hours you’re supposed to, you won’t crave carbs as much.
- Trick your body. Fool yourself when you’re hungry by drinking water instead or eating simple things like mints that “blow out your taste buds.” It works.
- Automate your life. Eat the same healthy option for breakfast. Bring a healthy lunch to work every day. Keep snacks like nuts in your pockets, your desk, anywhere that’s in easy reach, so you will never feel hungry.
You can also start a 7-day diet cleanse that will leave you feeling refreshed, energized and slim!
To melt away fat, banish bloat and crush cravings:
DON’T add sugar, artificial sweetners, or other natural sweeteners including honey, agave, and stevia to anything.- DON’T add salt to anything.
- DON’T eat starches with dinner including bread, rice, pasta, peas, beans, corns, and potatoes.
- DON’T drink alcohol.
- DO eat on a schedule.
- DO drink lots of water throughout the day.
- DO indulge in non-starchy vegetables.
- DO engage in 30 to 60 minutes of aerobic exercise everyday, including walking.
