Detox, Nutrition Plan, Meals, Exercise, Free 2 eat Day

Detox

I decided to start the new year off by detoxifying with a cleanse. Emptying my insides off all the residuals from fast food and dining out is the first order of business. To aid with this process I’m going to be using Simply Slender Master Cleanse. You can pick this up at GNC or VitaminShoppe.

Master Cleanse

On the bottle’s instructions it says take two tablespoons of this liquid and add to 8 oz of water and drink up to 8 times a day while eating light meals but to avoid ingesting vitamins, and any other unwanted toxins including alcohol.

Nutrition Plan

Nutrition obviously is the basic building block for health and so I suggest that for those who are foreign to eating fruits and veggies they pick the fruits and veggies they like best and expand horizons from there.

At first I was considering going vegan during this period but being practical and honest I know I’m not willing to go vegan. Instead I will greatly reduce the amount of meat consumed and look for meals with meat substitutes that are low in fat and high in nutrition.

Meals

Pastas, Rice dishes, Beans, Mixed Vegetables, Granola, Nuts, Grape Fruit, Apples, Grapes, Strawberries, Oranges, Soups, Spinach, Salads, Tofu, Protein Shakes/Punch, Cheese, Tofurkey Sausage LOL.

Drinks

Water, Orange Juice, Red Wine, White Wine,

Here’s one of my favorites for snacking between meals.

HPG IV

Hemp Plus Granola III

Exercise

Stretching, Pushups, Dips, Crunches and/or ab wheel, 35lb dumbbells, Jump Rope, Squats, Lunges, Squat variants, Calf Raises, Shrugs, Pushup variants, Shoulder Presses, Standing Back Row

Free 2 Eat Day

On this day anything craved can be consumed but portion control is emphasized meaning can’t have more than 2 servings of any “junk food”.

Welcome to THEJNSREPORT’S: The Beginnings of Detox

Over the past few years I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being lazy. I was able to eat pretty much whatever I wanted when I wanted. Slowly I came to the realization that what was once fun now had become boring and more importantly unhealthy.

Many of us figure the beginning of the year is the time to make changes and new year’s resolutions. I say why break with tradition? The past few years really drove home the concept of taking care of one’s health. Health is true wealth the cost of getting sick, I’m sure many of us can attest is not a welcome situation. Even with insurance the costs are skyrocketing across the nation.

I had a conversation with a family member once in which I said we either pay to be healthy upfront by paying higher prices for healthy food, or we pay later in hospital bills for illnesses, medications, and treatments that come from a life time of consuming unhealthy food, poor eating habits, and lack of regular effective exercise.

Definitely not a health guru…yet but I’m excited to get back to the basics of a healthy lifestyle. Stay tuned for Detox
