Shedding the weight after a bad day

Everyone has a bad day; a day of snacking, sweets, nervous eating, over drinking, etc. What's really important is to not punish yourself for it, but rather get over it as quickly as possible.

Sometimes breaking out of the routine is helpful if the body has reached a weight plateau and no longer reacts to the food you are eating. The trick is to begin the next day extra motivated to eat healthy food and maybe even add additional time of physical activity, even 5 minutes.

The fastest way to loose the weight you have gained is to stick to the following menu for a single day. The combination and timing of the food will eliminated the water retention that was caused by sodium and aid in burning the extra calories.

Breakfast: 1 to 2 servings of your favorite fruit. A single serving is a single fruit or a cup of fruit.
Mid-morning snack: 1 cup of coffee or tea with skim milk and splenda.
Lunch: 1/2 cup of grains (rice, pasta, 1 slice bread) with 1 serving of protein and a bowl of salad without cheese and with non-fat dressing.
Mid-afternoon snack: Tea sweetened with splenda.
Dinner: A bowl of warm oatmeal made with water.

If you are able to stick to this menu, you will have lost the extra weight in a single day. The different caloric intake in the two days will jump start your body and help you continue detoxing and getting to a healthy place.
