Lose Weight and Achieve Your Goals
Day One - Detox
Well the festive season is well and truly over, and if like me you have gained a few pounds over this festive period, you probably need to alleviate a very overworked digestive system.
This is day one of a full body detox to cleanse the digestive system and to ensure effective weight loss.
All those rich foods which were digested over the holiday period have made us feel lethargic, overweight and our clothes a little bit tighter. First things first, detox to get rid of all the toxins and gunk you have fed your body during the last 14 days or so.
For the next 10 days:
- No Meat
- No Dairy
- No cakes
- No Sweets
- No Processed Foods
- No Take-out Foods
- No Alcohol
- No Tea, Coffee
Eat lots of the following:
- Fresh Fruit
- Fresh Vegetables
- Nuts
- Lots of Water (approximastely 8 - 10 glasses per day)
- Whole grains
- Fish
- Green Tea
- Protein Supplement (powdered format- Soy protein)
At least 30 - 45 minutes of cardio exercise every other day (4 times a week)
More tips tomorrow on Day 2

4 Weight Loss Tips
1) Watch your daily calories intake:
• Write down everything you eat in a day
• Where you can plan ahead, breakfast, lunch and dinner
• Look at alternatives to the naughty foods you like i.e.substitute dark chocolate for milk chocolate, fruits instead of cakes / biscuits etc..
• Choose lean meat and only have red meat once a week less if you can.
• Eating a healthy breakfast increases your rest metabolic rate earlier in the day, and reduces snacking before lunch. Porridge, cereal or yoghurt are good sturdy breakfast alternatives.
2) Eat five meals a day: eating small meals ensures that you keep your metabolism ticking over, so that it burns fat. This includes snacks.
3) Drink plenty of water, both before and in between meals. As you burn fat, your body produces waste materials: water helps your body to flush them out of your system.
4) Exercise daily: exercise for 15 minutes in the morning and in the evening will burn fat but build the muscles.

Has The Christmas Turkey Got You Gaining A Few Pounds?
It's that time of year, when it is so easy to indulge in all the lovely food prepared by your mothers, aunts, sisters, friends and the like. Why is it that once a year we tend to really PIG OUT and eat about a zillion calories all in two to three days over the Christmas Period.
Then, when our skirts or jeans feel a little tight we moan about it, then make that fatale New Years Resolution to lose some weight! How many people out there will stick to a new exercise and eat healthy regime for longer than two weeks? The answer sadly is not many.
So how can you begin to lose those calories and inches succesfully without having to feel guilty about it?
First things first, YOU have to be mentally prepared to go the distance and aim to lose the weight goal you have put in place for yourself.
Secondly, who will make yhou accountable for your actions? If you get a weight loss buddy this will help you both to keep on trace.
Third, be prepared, it is when we are least prepared with our daily snacks and food that we tend to binge eat, or snack on the wrong things. If you plan your daily menu from breakfast, lunch and dinner with two healthy snacks in between, this is the first step to becoming succesful in losing those additional pounds.
Make sure the food you eat is one that you like, and does not have to be 'diet food', just eat sensible, and cut out junk food, cakes and biscuits and soda where possible.
Fourth, have an exercise regime, this could be a 30 minute walk at lunch time, or find an activity that you enjoy, such as salsa, pole dancing or otherwise. Going to the gym can be isolating and boring, and if you are not a self motivated person then you will be wasting a lot of money joining up.
More hints and tips coming your way so watch out for these in coming blog posts.
If you want to lose weight and get sensible advise, feel free to call or email me for a consultation. email: colettemorris26@googlemail.com

Cardiovascular exercises can not only help keep cardiovascular fitness, but also reduce heart diseases. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in America. It is found that about 250,000 people die with heart disease every year.
