I blew it on my Diet, Now What?<\/p>\n
Do you think I never \u201cfall off the wagon\u201d?<\/p>\n
\u2026Like the brownies at the neighbors party… holding me hostage in one corner of the room, rendering me completely helpless with no emergency organic carrots in sight.<\/p>\n
Yes, yes, that was me\u2026..<\/p>\n
I get this email from clients all the time, \u201cIsabel, I totally blew it on my diet last night. Now what do I do?\u201d Yup, I\u2019ve been there: bloated, disappointed, and feeling a bit defeated.<\/p>\n
The trick here is getting away from this downward spiral ASAP. You\u2019ve got to get right back on the wagon right where you fell off and for most of us that\u2019s just 1-2 healthy meals away.<\/p>\n
Here are my \u201cIsabel Damage Control Tips\u201d. They will get you back on track and feeling back to your normal (or not so normal) healthy self faster than you can say \u201cbrownie\u201d.<\/p>\n
1. Eliminate wheat and dairy for 2-3 days after the \u201cincident\u201d. I know what you\u2019re thinking\u2026.\u201dWhat does this girl have against wheat and dairy?\u201d Well for starters they are the 2 most inflammatory foods that cause bloating in most people. Not to mention when people overeat, it is usually on wheat and dairy foods: cookies, cakes, ice-cream, pasta, bread. Ever heard of anyone overdosing on brown rice? Or poultry? Doesn\u2019t really happen. If it has wheat or dairy, just eliminate it from your meal plan until you are back on track with your healthy eating and rid of the \u201cafter party bloat\u201d.<\/p>\n
2. Drink tons of water! Of course, this rule is applicable all the time, but after a \u201cbinge\u201d water is even more important. I also like to add a few squeezes of fresh lemon in my water for the \u201cdetoxifying\u201d effects. Fresh lemon helps to cleanse the liver and a squeaky clean liver will assist in your weight loss efforts.<\/p>\n
3. Add in some extra walking. If I\u2019ve packed in one too many calories, I get my body moving even more. Just adding in an extra 20 minutes of walking for the next few days gets me feeling back on track. I have even taken a trip to the mall just to do laps around the place. I get to people watch, see what\u2019s on sale, and burn calories all at the same time.<\/p>\n
Just in case it was you being held hostage by the brownies at last night\u2019s party, have no fear. You\u2019re new mantra is \u2026\u201dAin\u2019t no silly brownies taking me down.\u201d<\/p>\n
