So to get the ball rolling, it's always a good idea to start with a detox before you begin an actual diet as it helps shred excess body fat which you would normally mistake for real body fat.
1. January - Detox first
That may sound confusing but take for example when someone gives up beer, after 7-10 days there will be an initial drop in weight and then that weight will steady off unless you put yourself through a diet/supplement/exercise plan.
The same goes for a 2-4 week detox.
By taking either a combination of detox foods and/or anti-oxidant supplements, this enables you to flush the liver, intestine and kidneys of all harmful toxins, parasitic bacteria and free radicals that have accumulated over time since your last detox.
Detoxing also enables you to get your metabolism into superb shape as it's not inflicted day to day by high glucose foods (provided you stick to a diet free of trans fatty fast foods and rich carbs found in donuts, sweets and carbonated fizzy drinks etc).
Begin your detox in January through ideally a combination of rich anti-oxidant fruits and natural super-powered supplements.
2. January/February - Diet second
The Christmas period was a month ago now and you've given your body a thorough detox and it's now time to focus on healthy nutritional food groups to get your diet plan back on track to ring in the new year.
a) Lean protein
Get plenty of lean meat down you such as grilled chicken and poultry that will speed up your metabolism, keeping you satiated and curbing the cravings while your body slowly eases of the unwanted pounds.
If you've already started an exercise plan or some simple anaerobic weight training or aerobic sports like running and swimming, lean meat will help build up the muscles rather than the belly.
b) 1 Grapefruit a day
If you like grapefruit then you're lucky as the fruits acidity slows down digestion, keeping you fuller longer while accelerating weight loss.
It also contains vast quantities of vitamin C which lowers cholesterol, diminishing your risk of a stroke, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.
c) The Omega 3's
Omega 3 especially is well known to have an assortment of benefits from longevity, to replenishing collagen and Oxford University latest study shows that eating tuna and salmon can speed up the movement of food from the stomach to the intestines - freeing up your stomach from any bloating.
They do this by stimulating hormones that regulate food intake, metabolism and weight loss.
3. January/February - Detox & weight loss Supplements
Detox and weight loss supplements really can work provided you help assist them with a fairly disciplined diet and better also with some moderate exercise 3/4 times a week - 30/40 minutes long.
Detox supplements are probably the most effective in terms of the return you get almost overnight.
You must bear in mind that you have to stay hydrated as they harness the anti-oxidants and healthy bacteria from fruits high up the ORAC table (oxygen radical absorbance capacity).
Weight loss supplements are different and sometimes combine both a detox and a fat burning or fat blocking side to them, but most dieters tend to opt for fat burners as they're looking to really speed up their metabolism - an obvious choice if you're struggling to shake of the pounds.
