We’ve all been there. But the pizza looked so good! I couldn’t resist the Alfredo! Just one more piece of apple pie? Munchies during the game! Mindless munchies watching a movie.
And now, even a day later, you still feel stuffed.
Don’t beat yourself up about it now. What’s done is done. You can’t go back in time and not eat all that (no matter how much you might want to!).
And you can’t starve yourself today! Your body still needs the fuel to carry on today!
What do you do?
Do your regular workout, perhaps with a little more intensity. Walk a few more blocks. Drink a little more water.
If you have watercress in your crisper, put some in your salad – it protects your cells against free radicals, and is a natural diuretic.
Squeeze some lemon in your water – the Vitamin C helps detox your body and burn fat. Plus it helps with digestion and it’s delicious.
Eat more dark leafy greens – in your salad, in your soup, or saute them with a little olive oil. Dark leafy greens boost chlorophyll levels in your digestive tract which helps to eliminate environmental toxins.
Have an apple (or another fruit) – fruit is full of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber.
Eat some cabbage, artichokes or beets – they’re great for cleansing the liver.
Ginger and garlic help eliminate free radicals.
There you have it. Go eat some healthy stuff. But don’t overdo it!
