My SImple Detox Plan

Hello, my lovely friends!  

 

    What a wonderful day here. It was a little cloudy and cool, perfect weather. I just wish that we could have this kind of weather all Summer long, but it’s only a matter of time before the 100’s hit here. I know so many are suffering in the heat, stay cool and hydrated.

    I'm changing things in how I eat and decided the thing I need to do first is detox and clean my system out. It’s pretty simple. I don’t do those detox powders and other detox plans that you can buy in the stores. I like to go the natural way by using food to clean your system out.

 

Hot lemon water ~ skip the morning coffee and opt for hot lemon water. I will get a four slices of a lemon and smash them in a coffee cup and add hot water to it. The lemon will help kick start your metabolism for the day.  Sometimes I will do the same thing, but add a green tea bag to it.

 

For breakfast I’ve been a smoothie kind of gal. I’m not a big fan of milk and never have been. I’ve been using Silk Almond Milk in place of real milk. I get some fresh or frozen fruits (whatever you have will work), throw in a spoonful of ground flax seed or chia seeds, pour some almond milk and blend it. I will have whole grain toast or a bagel with it. That is my breakfast and I will maybe switch it up one day a week and have a scrambled egg with toast.

 

My snacks will include some kind of fresh fruit.  I always eat some kind of fresh fruit after I work out and in the evening.

 

For lunch and dinner it’s a big salad full of veggies and some kind of protein with it. When I mean protein I’m talking chicken, fish or beef. I sometimes switch out the lettuce in the salad and go for some kind of healthy grain like brown rice and make a stir fry.

 

I’m only drinking my spa-like water and green tea, that’s it.

 

I will do this for at least five days, but a week would be better. I’m starting this tomorrow.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.

Talk Soon, Adios...
