Detox time

[David Arthur]

Happy new year. Everyone enjoy christmas, and get all the presents you asked for? I don't think I've ever eaten so much food than during last week, so it's now time to put my body on a detox for the next month. Anyone going to join me? I think a couple of weeks of lots of fruit and small meal portions should get me back on track.But we wanna hear all your pearls of wisdom for detoxing. Any good approaches, ideas?

Yep, I'm detoxing now for the next 2 months, same as last year (but I don't start until tomorrow).Start the day with a glass of hot water mixed with the juice of half a lemon. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. No alcohol, unhealthy snacks, food & methods of cooking. Lots of rest & sleep between hard training.Totally agree with the fruit and small meal portions - something we tend to do wrong in England, especially eating one big meal in a short period of time!!

eat loads of yoghurt its sooo good and pretty healthy and (contrary to what the adverttisers say) its just as good for you as thopse silly drinks.have honey instead of sugarwhen it comes to chocolate i reckon you cant go wrong with swopping a mars bar for a snack size mars bar and an apple. that way you get the taste and the apple fills you up.

Porridge.Lots of it, with dried fruit and assorted healthy seeds.No sugar, honey or syrup.

Forgot to say, Tesco's large flake organic oats are definitely the best. A bowl of that will keep you going until lunchtime.

yes porridge is my new years resolution, to replace the oh so lovely chrunchy nut cornflakes. i've been thinking, smaller meal portions is the way to go, but is going to be my biggest challenge. oh for a smaller stomach

smaller potions -> snaller stomach the transition is painful!

For porridge try it with blueberries or bannana or raisins or honey, someone suggested grapes but I didn't find them too palatable.
