How Start Your Day
Fill your day with whole food goodness that is going to get your body in tip-top condition: hydrating greens, cleansing superfoods, and plant-based protein. Stay away from anything processed, fried, and salty.
Plate Everything
Whether we’re stressed, bored, distracted or, well, drunk, most of us have that robotic hand-to-bowl, bowl-to-mouth practice down pat. And before we know it, the bag of chips is empty and we’re pretty sure no one else touched it… Put everything you eat on a plate, so that you have an idea of how much you are consuming, and can keep on eye on things before your hunched over in the corner not feeling so hot.
Boost with Lemon Water
Alcohol is pretty exhausting for your body to deal with, and combining that with processed foods for the evening means it’s going to be in desperate need of a vacation. Drink water throughout the entire morning, afternoon, and evening. In between beers, in between dips, in between plays. Squeeze some lemon into it for a little bit of inflammation-fighting, metabolism-revving powers that will help your body de-bloat.
