Summer is getting closer and closer and the rush to have a fit body is greater. After Christmas we will tell you why you did not need to do a detox diet to "detoxify" and "purify" your body, and this time we are going to give you the keys that cannot be missing if you want to do a detox plan (although not like the one society knows).
Many understand the diet or the detox plan as something specific or with a certain duration, in which we gorge ourselves on vegetable smoothies and go a little hungry. Your body does not need to detox from food, forget this concept.
You should not spend money on supplements
Neither pills to burn fat, nor to block the absorption of hydrates, nor to improve fluid retention. Avoid any type of pill or chemical supplement that eliminates those toxins that your own body is able to expel naturally.
Our kidneys are the natural "purifier" that we have in the body, so we do not have to worry about taking substances that promise to lose weight.
The famous vegetable, fruit and seed smoothies may not be an option to eat. They are very good to take as a snack or mid-morning snack, but it would be a mistake to eat vegetable smoothies. Mainly because we will be eliminating fiber and other nutrients that make these foods beneficial. In addition, we will feel much less satiated throughout the day.
"Detox" every day of the year
The best detox plan is to follow a healthy lifestyle. If we don't gorge ourselves on sugars or foods that make us gain weight, we won't have the remorse of feeling "intoxicated."
- Eat a balanced and healthy diet
- Hydrate properly (with water!)
- Get enough rest (about 8 hours a day)
- Train strength. Don't get obsessed with doing cardio, cardio, and just cardio. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you will expend.
- Have good mental hygiene. Yes, laugh more and be positive. Many times it is our own mind that leads us to enter cycles of anxiety, which lead to poor food consumption.
- Stay active throughout the day. Aim for 10,000 steps a day.
- If you have a partner, take the opportunity to have a good time with her. Maybe this type of training will motivate you more than going for a run in the park 😉
