If you’re quite accustomed when it comes to bingeing albeit with alcohol or food, then you’re very familiar with the day after’s guilt and bloat.
He knows.
I have a nasty hormonal habit of overeating followed by literally drowning in tears over the myriad of refined frankenstarches, chocolate and saturated fats I’ve consumed.
A bad conscience is no excuse for making poor decisions. My tastebuds are always left in a constant “I WANT IT ALL. NOW.” which juxtaposes my entire motto of being.
It’s really an inner conflict that I think in some way, shape or form we can all relate to.
While eating a giant salad, drinking a kombucha, or NOT EATING won’t cure you’re temporary derailments, detoxing your body will at least contribute to minimizing the bloat.
I try to incorporate a few detox meals or snacks either before or after I have binged. Anything with a vibrant green color is usually code for cleanse and acts to harmonize the body back to an alkaline state.
Here’s an example recharged snack I shared on my health coaching page the other day:
A healthy bird’s nest
Ingredients:
- 1/4-1/2 c alfalfa sprouts
- 1/4 chopped avocado
- 1 kirby cucumber
Mist with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste!
*If you don’t have a strong palate for sprouts, you can always change it to another green or even spiralize some zucchini/yellow squash to make it noodle like!
Do you have any traditions or tips for the doomsday after a binge?
Peace, love, & beat the binge!
