How to Get Back on Track After a Food Binge


Okay, so you ate too much turkey, stuffing, gravy, pie, and who knows what else. No judgement from me...I did too! So, how do you get back on track quickly after a food binge? The key is to eating really clean the next day. Here is what I normally do to keep the scale from going up and help make the bloat go away.

Drink lots of water. Avoid Dairy. Eat lean meats, veggies and skip carbs like bread and sugary foods. Think of it like a clean food detox for a few days post binge.

Sample Meal Plan

Breakfast: Shakeology  mixed with 1 cup water, 1 capful of coconut extract (optional, but I like it like this) - this is a once a day meal replacement that I drink daily. Never skip it because its amazing. Also drink 20 oz water. Add lemon for extra detox.
Snack: Green tea with stevia, 20 oz water. You can also drink Dandelion tea with lemon to help detox.
Lunch: Salad greens or spinach with 3 oz grilled chicken breast, tsp olive oil and drizzle balsamic vinegar (unlimited), half small apple, NO CHEESE.
Snack: Green tea with stevia, 20 oz water. And more dandelion tea with lemon (optional)
D: 3-4 oz chicken or fish broiled with seasonings, steamed broccoli and 1/2 cup brown rice, or another small salad.
S: More water and dandelion tea.

**Make sure to do a 30 minute or longer cardio workout. Interval or HIIT style workouts are great, but if walking or running is the only thing available, just get active.

Do this for 1 - 3 days.

Top 11 Holiday Survival Tips: How to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

This year plan for success and avoid the Holiday battle of the bulge. Most of us have lots of parties and fun events to attend during the Christmas season;  most of which revolve around fattening foods and sweet treats. If you add in seasonal stress, lack of sleep, not working out, you have a recipe for weight gain. So, this year, let’s plan ahead for success and avoid those diet pitfalls but still enjoy ourselves.  Check out these 11 Tips that will help you stay on track and still feel in control of your waist line. 




Tip #1 Be mindful about what you are eating.
Just because the egg nog looks so good and its free, doesn’t mean you have to have it. Ask yourself if it’s worth all those calories in that small glass. This applies for lots of other things. Sometimes we mindlessly eat and drink without even thinking about the consequences. The main thing is to rate your foods on a scale of 1-10 and only pick a few of those 10’s and leave the other foods that rank low for you. Load up on healthier options like salad (watch the dressing), veggies, fruits, and keep alcohol to a minimum.

Tip #2 At the Office Holiday Party... Don’t hang out by the food. Keep moving. Get a plate with some healthy options and a few of those 9’s and 10’s I mentioned above and get away from the buffet or potluck table. Standing there devouring all the treats and snacks will only have you crying when you get on the scale the next day. Again be mindful! 

Tip #3 Be Picky. It is okay not to sample every dish at your families gathering or at your work party. Choose the items you really want and just get a small amount. You can always go back for more if you really want it. Its okay not to try Aunt Martha's mashed potatoes if you don't want to eat them. This is your body and you have to do what is best for you.This way you can taste the foods and if you don’t like it, don’t eat it. This means its okay to pick and choose what you want to put in your mouth. Kinda like what calories are worth it and which ones aren’t. For example, for me, I am not a big potato salad or macaroni salad fan. Sure they are good, but its not on the top of my list, so I would skip that and opt for something I really loved like dessert. 

Tip #4 Sip Smartly. Calories in alcohol add up fast. In order to keep your calories in check, choose wisely and pace yourself. Maybe alternate with water in between drinks, or make your own flavored water with lemon, lime and orange.

Need some lighter drink options?
A single shot of vodka, gin, or rum mixed with club or diet soda and a squeeze of lime. It will set you back only about 100 calories,
Champagne or pink Prosecco. Around 80-100 calories
Light beer or wine. Most have fewer than 150 calories per serving.

Tip #5 Eating while out Shopping

The stress of holiday shopping tends to frazzle us, exaust us and we typically have decreased will power and choose the unhealthy fast options from the food court. Plan ahead when you are headed out for shopping. Pack healthy snacks and have a plan for where you will eat lunch or dinner in advance. Sure, sometimes you will change your mind, but having a preplanned idea of what you are going to eat, will help you to make better decisions and not just go off impulses.  Keeping portion-controlled goodies in your purse will make other snacks easier to resist. Stick 30 pistachios or 24 almonds in a ziplock bag with a few tbsp of raisins or craisins, or keep Lara bars as a back up in your bag. The carb/protein combo in these foods will keep you full and help you make a better choice when its time for lunch or dinner.

Tip #6 Avoid Holiday themed coffee drinks and sweets. They tend to be much higher in calories than the regular ones, so stick to the basics.  

Tip #7 As You Bake Holiday Treats at Home ..when you are tasting batter or licking the spoon those calories all add up. They can quickly add up to a LOT! Keep the sink full of soap and place the dirty beaters and spoons in the water before you can even get a chance to lick them. It will keep you from nibbling and taking in unnecceary calories. Don’t eat raw cookie dough. Remember Salmonella?

Tip #8 At Your Family's Holiday Dinner...
Bring your own healthy dish. Bring something you know you can enjoy without the guilt and the hostess will be thankful you brought a healthy option too. I think we all secretly do want some healthier options, but many times we just don’t even know what to bring.

Tip #9 Choose your plate size on purpose.
Use your dinner plate for salads and starters and then switch to your smaller salad plate for your main course. Studies show we eat less when we use a smaller plate.

Tip # 10 Practice Portion Control. Focus on reasonable portions.  "Your total amount of carbs—potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing—should be the size of your fist," says Koff. "Shaq, for example, can eat a lot more mashed potatoes than you or I can or should." The same goes for lean proteins, which should be the size and thickness of your palm (no fingers).

Tip # 11 Stay hydrated. The winter chill can make you mistaken hunger for dehydration. Don’t overeat just because you were outside and feel famished. Drink lots of water and make sure to fuel your body properly.  Warm up with some hot green tea or hot cocoa before you head for the kitchen. Once we warm up, we are less likely to overeat. Also, we tend to get so busy we forget to drink water. Make sure to drink half your body weight in ounces. Drinking water is huge when it comes to weight loss. Download a free water app like "waterin" to help you keep track. 

And my BEST TIP: Drink Shakeology once a day to help with those cravings and give you your daily dose of superfoods, protein, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, pre and probiotics and more. It really will help you . 

How to Enjoy Thanksgiving Without Blowing your Fitness and Weight loss goals.

How to Enjoy Thanksgiving Without Blowing your Fitness and Weight loss goals. 


 How many of you completely fall off the fitness wagon around the Holidays. I know that used to be me and then I would get back into it in January. Now, I just indulge occasionally during the Holiday season, but make sure to eat clean (avoid processed foods) most of the time. Making sure to eat breakfast and not skip meals, so you keep your metabolism higher and burn more calories. Workouts are a must. Even if its just a brisk walk 4-5 times a week. The best thing to do is a combination of cardio and strength training. Especially if you are over 30, since we lose muscle mass after the age of 30. The more muscle you build, the more calories you burn. Which = you can eat more food! YAY!

Our calories tend to go up during the Holiday months of November and December, so you will need to burn extra calories if you want to keep that weight from creeping in. You can indulge in wine and pie and still get results. Try the following tips and video to help stay on track for Thanksgiving and Christmas and check out my upcoming Support group for added accountability.

Check out Autumn Calabrese's Video on Surviving Thanksgiving. You can even use your 21 day fix containers to help you portion control your meal.

Twisted Elf On A Shelf Idea: Hostage Situation with Green Soldiers

This is such a cute Naughty Elf on a Shelf idea using blue tape and little green soldiers (GI Joes?). He looks like he has been captured and has been taken hostage. These little plastic soldiers are very special to me because my parents used to hide these little green soldiers all over the house and when you would find one it was kind of like an "I love you" gesture. I think I may have to get an elf and he will stay in this pose all Christmas season. Lol! Don't judge me.


Meal Prep Saturday with Recipe Links

Meal Prep Saturday

My sweet husband brought me home these roses from the store this morning. So, I was able to enjoy them as I did some meal prepping today. He is such a sweetheart. Don't you just love fresh flowers. I often wonder why I don't buy them more often. 


Here's a list of a few things I meal prepped this weekend with the links for the recipes. Make sure to plan your meals and snacks so you will be prepared as  you head out the door for work in the morning. Having your meals partially prepped will give you more time to squeeze in your workout and help you stay on track toward your fitness and weight loss goals. Also, leaving you more time to enjoy with your family.


Simple Meal Prep Grilled Chicken 

Baked Banana Choco Chip Oatmeal Cups - really good for quick breakfasts when you are running out the door. They do freeze well. Thaw and enjoy!




Baked cauliflower - rinse and cut cauliflower. Drizzle with about 1 -2 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and chipotle seasoning (optional). Bake at 425* for about 30 minutes or until roasted and tender.















Brown Rice - cook according to package instructions. Make extra and freeze into 4-5 serving sizes and 1 serving sizes. Take out of freezer; cut away bag, microwave until thawed and enjoy!  


Hummus served with mini sweet bell peppers and celery. 






How to: Simple Meal Prep Grilled Chicken

Simple Grilled Chicken

Thaw 1 - 4 packages boneless skinless chicken breast, sprinkle with garlic powder and a seasoning blend like jerk chicken, mrs dash original or really any mixed seasoning. Drizzle with about 1 tbsp olive oil and rub in seasoning. Place on indoor or outdoor grill until cooked in the middle (approx 165 inside - sometimes I undercook a little so that when I reheat it will not be dry). Remove; allow to cool. Cut into bite size pieces and place 3-4 oz in a zip lock bag or a storage container. Freeze. When ready to eat, microwave until warm.

These are great for salads, stuffing a pita sandwich, or just pairing with a steamed vegetable (steamfresh frozen are great!) and 1/2 cup of brown rice.

Watch this short video on how I meal prep my chicken. It's not the best video, but I hope it helps.

Cross Training to Get Better Results and Faster Weight Loss

Cross training can help build muscle faster and help you lose weight quicker due to the fact that muscle burns more calories per pound than fat does. Cardio is great, but you will see even better results when you combine a weight training routine such as P90X, P90X3, Body Beast, Chalean Extreme, Body Pump, or any weight training routine. I recommend changing up your at home workout program every 2-3 months to see maximum results and confuse the muscles, or you could do a hybrid workout combining 1-3 different workouts. Of coarse, you can create your own weight training routines, but many people have a difficult time keeping up with what muscles on what days, etc. I love being able to watch a video and be told exactly how, what and how many to do to get results. If you can afford a trainer and have time to drive to and from the gym, then I am all for getting a personal trainer, but most of us do not have the time or money to do that.
