XMAS

Tuesday 25th Xmas day what you want!

Have a little of what you like through the day, try and always eat protein first and include lots of vegetables with meals. Read the tips for the festive season and use what suits or have the day off.

Drink sparkling mineral water with mint or lemon alternating with other drinks.

Note that if you blow out, it will take a few days of cutting back to get back into balance and stabilise cravings (for more sugar and calorie packed foods). Especially, after completing a fitness challenge where you have been quite disciplined.  So knowing this and knowing that cravings will pass allows you the tools to ride it out and stay on track. If you fall back, just pick up and carry on without any guilt as guilt is pointless and counterproductive in the long run. Opt out of that cycle.

One or two hours after meals – Go for a walk or chose an activity to get the body moving a little.

Boxing Day

Option – protein and plant based breakfast or fresh extracted juice and drink water to help your body cleanse itself of any excesses of the day before.

Lunch – Your choice – From our lunch library

Dinner – Your choice. Period!!!

Day 7

Breakfast – Intermittent fast to cleanse and rebalance excess calories and use them up – link day’s meal to the recipe index
