Christmas indulgence and New Year Resolutions!!

Many people, including me, eat too much over Christmas and New Year, and many drink too much to celebrate the new Year. Once all the festivity are done, we realize that we need to go back to not eating drinking too much because we have put on some extra weight. I noticed that eating a lot more bread and wheat as Italian do, as well as plenty of extra salt, did not agree with me at all. Nothing to do with allergies, but pure retention from eating too much carbohydrates. I am also very greedy on chocolate, the darker the better and that for my poor liver and body did not go well either. Now back to my routine of eating food that does not contain wheat or salt seems quite boring. But I do feel much better in the morning, less tired and less water retention! Now I would love to change my entire family way of cooking, but it does taste good when you eat it. My family actually lower down on salt big time since I suggested that, even my father which things that a salad with no salt is like being a rabbit and eating it from the soil directly might have more taste!! Anyway for people that needs to detox after the holidays, eat plenty of fresh fruits (I know is cold but worth it), plenty of freshly cooked vegetables stews, soups and green vegetables. For the once that do not like beans and lentils much, try the chicken or low fat meats or if you like the fish, eat the fish with vegetables, sweet potatoes or rice and after two weeks you will have lost the weight as well as feeling great, obviously no alcohol too for a month to give your liver a rest!!
Buon appetito to all!!
