We hope you are having a wonderful week and are thriving not just surviving this busy holiday Christmas period!!
A lot of our clients have been asking how to enjoy this time of year (without feeling guilty!) and maintain their results.
So is there a RIGHT way to INDULGE this Christmas Season?
There sure is!!
Here are a few tips to stay on track over this festive time:
TIP #1 DRINK LOADS OF WATER
Especially in this current heat, it is so important to remember to drink loads of fresh water to help your body stay hydrated, but not only that, to help flush out any extra toxins from the foods and drinks you wouldn’t normally be having.
When you drink lots of water it is literally like ‘having a shower’ on your insides, and helps your body function so much better.
Try to aim for around min 2L per day and more on the days you are exercising.
Have a glass of water in between ‘other’ drinks (such as alcoholic beverages or sugary fizzy drinks 😉 and have an extra glass of water for any ‘treats’ you consume (such as sugar/fat bombs!) to help your body flush it away.
TIP #2 INDULGE IN THE GOOD STUFF
When we think of indulging we often associate it with ‘bad’ and ‘unhealthy’ foods, but how about switching your mindset to indulge in delicious treats that won’t derail your results?
What could be nicer then chomping into a delicious fresh juicy mango, or big bowl of strawberries, or a delicious fresh coconut drink, or a Chocolate Cacao slice or dessert that you wouldn’t normally have time to make?
Sometimes when we ‘indulge’ in something unhealthy that we think is going to satisfy us it does the opposite and makes us feel sick!!
Remind yourself of this before you have already gone too far; ask “is this going to nourish me or deplete me?”
There are plenty of delicious ways to indulge without sabotaging your results.
TIP #3 EVERYTHING IN MODERATION
Keeping the above in mind, life is about balance, and often when we allow ourselves to relax a little and not be super ‘strict’ with our diet, it actually does more to keep us on track then it does to deny your urges.
Because when you do feel a bit ‘sick’ (or queasy) after eating the stuff you wouldn’t normally eat, you resolve even more to clean up your diet to the next level!!
Let’s be honest, having a ‘cheat day’ once a week, month, or year isn’t going to ruin your results when you are on track 80-90% of the time throughout the year.
In fact, having these cheat days actually does more for your results then it does harm, as you don’t feel deprived and you enjoy the process.
So enjoy yourself, make sure you get plenty of rest and relaxation and enjoy the festive season!!
