What is the best way to lose weight fast after Christmas?



Follow these tips as they also provide a best hangover cure!

Yes the silly season =
·         Too much alcohol
·         Too much sugar
·         Too much fat

You’re bloated, tired, waterlogged, nauseous and overweight with a headache that could kill a hippo. Yes- Christmas is over.  It’s time to begin the clean up.

 But what is the best way to lose weight fast and feel better after Christmas?

Start the day by squeezing half a lemon into a glass of water. This will help flush toxins from your body. There is also the added benefit of the high vitamin c contained in lemons.

Let’s then continue with what is the best way to lose weight fast, - a sensible breakfast:

Have a mug of detox tea with breakfast- rolled oats for their cholesterol lowering properties, egg whites as they’re a high quality, fat free protein source, pinch of Himalayan salt for its electrolyte balance and top with berries for their antioxidants and vitamin C content.
In between meals drink lots of water. Try to get a minimum of 3 litres in to really flush things out
.
Include at least a cup of green vegetables in every meal.

Cabbage:  for its antioxidant properties and high vitamin c and fibre content. This is a wonderful vegetable to cleanse your liver and also has an effect in lowering cholesterol.
Broccoli: has the same properties and also a high iron content.
Asparagus; fibre, trace minerals and also has anti inflammatory properties.
Kale, celery and spinach are others to add to the list. They can help detox the kidneys and flush out the system.

Herbs and spices – definitely a best hangover cure!

Ginger- add it to everything! It’s fantastic for your digestion and liver function.
Garlic- has wonderful properties which help boost your immune system- plus, it can add flavour to a dreary meal.
Cayenne pepper- a metabolic stimulant, an anti-inflammatory and can help regulate your blood sugar levels.

Before Bed
Have some sort of fibre like psyllium or flaxseed in water. You can mix it with some vital greens, (all these are available from the health food section at the supermarket). The fibre will bind to the toxins and help carry them out of your body. You’ll wake up thinking was this the best hangover cure I ever tried?
