Purification diet three days after Christmas – Italian Cuisine

It takes very little to dispose of fluids, toxins and swelling that have given us "parties". A handful of three days to watch out for food, with light but tasty dishes: here's how

You can not celebrate Christmas, and all the parties that you bring with you, without enjoying the rich traditional dishes together with their loved ones. Do not eat grilled chicken breast and salad: it would benefit the body (maybe), but certainly not the heart. At the bottom then only one will suffice three-day diet to purify from excesses and rediscover the form.

Three-day purifying diet

The ideal would be to reset body and mind from eating habits that are not exactly correct acquired on holidays. Abandon alcohol, fizzy drinks, sweets, packaged products and in general anything that could lead you to overdo the portions.
Prefer foods that help the purifying process, like the lemon juice used to season or to aromatize water and green tea. Among the vegetables, the ones with the most detox properties are the beets, salad, spinach, chicory, dandelion (and in general all green leafy vegetables), celery, artichokes is fennel.
Choose lean proteins – fish is White meat, eggs, legumes is lean cheeses (not the light version of fatty cheeses) – that sate and make the metabolism work, and only use it extra virgin olive oil raw as a condiment.

The tricks to resist the diet

In fact it is only a three-day diet to purify, but after all the Christmas goodies reduce the amount of what we eat and return to a simpler diet can be difficult. begin then the meal with della raw vegetables – a pinzimonio or a mixed salad will be fine – that forcing you to chew for good, will help to promote a sense of satiety. Remember to always dress the vegetables with extra virgin olive oil to assimilate the vitamins and exploit the satiating power of the fibers. Always to delude your stomach, try a drink a glass of water before each meal: you will leave with your stomach already a little full.
If you are used to sweets and you just can not give it up, try cook of apples or pears in the oven with all the peel and some cinnamon, nutmeg is cloves. Once cooked they will naturally be very sweet and it will be enough a chopped fruit or a spoonful of thick yogurt for a healthy and delicious snack. To make more tasty white meat and fish try to accompany them with a sauce made by mixing yogurt, curry and oil or mustard and lemon juice. If instead you are among those who drink little – when, in reality, water is essential to eliminate waste and toxins – prepared flavored waters infusing in a liter of water a few slices of lemon, orange or grapefruit or a handful of pomegranate and ginger beans. You will get a tasty drink, which also uses food to purify.
