Get,set,detox!

Workout mode!!!

Hey fellas!

How are you all doing!?!Ummmmmm...let me take a guess...Binged a lot...LOL!!!

Had too much aerated drinks?or indulged in too much sweets?Those tempting Bengali mithais & assorted varieties of ladoos...and also those sinful but heavenly chocolate delights?Face it,post festivity high is always accompanied with a crash where you feel guilty of indulging too much.Since we tend to overindulge on food with a high salt,sugar and trans fat content,it is important to burn it off...Want to know how...continue reading...

1.Beat Sugar:Okay,you have had tons of sweets and chocolates.Still craving for more?The deal with refined sugar is if you have few sweets,your body gets an insulin-rush and demands more sugar.It's a vicious cycle-sugar feeds sugar.

Beat it:Get out of this 'i want more sugar' mindset because it's like an addiction...heard of Sugar Coma!?!That's exactly what I am referring to over here.You can start eating foods rich in fat and protein to help slow down your digestion.Nuts are great for the purpose-pick almonds,walnuts,cashew nuts,raisins,cranberries...your choice.High-fibre veggies and fruits are also good to have when you are trying to detox.The ideal breakfast the day after indulging in sweets should be something high in protein,moderate in fat and low in carbs.Like a glass of milk with omelette,a bowl of sprouts,cereal,salads,fresh fruit juices like orange,tangerines,berries,watermelon,grapes,pineapple,sweet lime or kiwi.

2.Overcome Oil:If you have ODed on ghee-laden Puri's and heavy curries then you are feeling bloated.

Beat it: Don't sleep right after a heavy meal.Shun oil-based foods for the next 3-4 days.Hydrate,hydrate and hydrate-by having lots of water,coconut water,lime water and nourishing vegetable soups.If at all you need oil,use olive oil,canola oil and coconut oil.

3.Avoid carbonated drinks: Drinks are dehydrating.Tank up on healthy fluids.

Beat it:Lime water works best.Also,eating fruits with high water content will help in detoxifying the kidneys and liver.

4.Step up your Exercising regime:Atleast 30 minutes of workout at the gym or in the form of brisk walking,jogging,swimming,cyclying,gardening,a game of Badminton/Tennis will help burn off the extra calories.

So that's about it and you are all set.

Getting motivated,aren't we!?!

Com'mon then! Let's Doll up with me and get going to detox your festive gluttony.

Take good care,
