It's time to reboot with :: Juice January 2015
As many of you know, for the past four years I have designated January as a time reboot. I love to incorporate lots of homemade juicing recipes into my regime. This year I am introducing a new tool: the Nutri BulletHere’s how it you get started:Start on January 1st and end on the 21st. Drink plenty of water along with the juice.*and no alcohol for 21 days. {Yep that’s right! No drinkies, and you know that’s a killer for me.}Your daily regimen:Breakfast - Drink tea or coffee limit 1 cup. *You may eat 1 cup plain yogurt + 1/2 cup cereal or 1 egg scrambled.1 8 oz. glass of water.*Make your juice right after breakfast! The Nutribullet comes with several containers, so you can make a few recipes and transport your juice if you're on the go.10:00 a.m. Snack - 2 cups Juice12:00 p.m. Lunch - 2 cups Juice2:00 p.m. Midday Snack - 2 cups JuiceDinner (5:30- 6:30) - Make a mixed salad and add 1 cup serving of protein. Try chicken, lean beef or fish, and saute fresh vegetables with 2 teaspoons olive oil.I also love soup as a dinner option, and I will be posting yummy, healthy recipes along the way along with some of my favorite juice recipes.I like having some protein for breakfast and for dinner as well. I have found this is a pleasant way to pass the 21 days without starving. This is a 21 day regime that I do, but please be advised that you should be in good health to try this juice semi-fast. I continue to do my exercise regime, and you should be working out as well. You will be amazed at the energy level you have! I will say that the first week is hard, but the second week is much easier, so hang in there, and by week 3 it’s enjoyable!
