Did you have too much of a good thing over thanksgiving? Don’t beat yourself up.. we all did! The best way to bounce back from a weekend of overindulging is to counteract with consuming as many fruits and veggies as possible. Follow these simple tricks and by the end of the day you will shed some of the bloat!
Morning:
Start the day off with 1 glass of fresh lemon, ginger water.
Take a shot of apple cider vinegar in the morning and before all meals.
This will balance your entire body… which after a weekend of eating bad foods, we mostly likely threw our bodies completely out of whack. Apple cider vinegar not only has detoxing properties but it will also stimulate your digestion and suppress your appetite. It also regulates the amount of sodium stored in the body.
For breakfast, have a green smoothie or juice (for recipe click HERE) with parsley. If you are thinking..”ew, no way!” you wont be able to taste the parsley, I promise. Parsley helps flush fluids from the body and encourages digestion. Parsley also has several anti-inflammatory properties!
Snack:
Fill up a big water bottle full of water and aloe vera juice and sip throughout the day, all day long. The water and the aloe will flush your system.
Tea to sip on throughout the day:
Green Tea
Dandelion Root Tea
Ginger Tea
Peppermint Tea
Apple Cider Vinegar with Hot Water
If you hate drinking tea, you can purchase dandelion root pills. The pills are actually more potent than the tea which help you lose water weight more quickly.
Lunch:
Water Weightloss Juice with Detox Salad & Lemon Dressing
Juice Recipe:
juice or purchase fresh, plain cranberry juice. mix with two dandelion root tea bags, lemon juice, and water. This helps you lose water weight because it breaks down waste and fats during digestion.
