Move your body! 7-day detox and weight loss is so simple

Schedule light exercise, avoid meat-based meals, and find inner peace, and you can lose 2 pounds (about 0.9 kilograms) in a week. Whenever you want to relax but don’t want to deviate from your goals, you might as well make a 7-day plan like this.

【Body detoxification starts here】

Imagine this is your reset button. Follow these clean eating and slow-paced exercise steps to inject new energy into your body.

Move your body: Take your exercise intensity down a notch — for just 7 days. This puts your body in dynamic recovery mode, combining light cardio with yoga and stretching. Star trainer Larysa Didio said, "You can use this to expel toxins and restore your body's vitality. When you start intense exercise again, the body sculpting, fat burning effects are better and recovery is faster."

Work up a sweat: Do 30 to 60 minutes of gentle cardio before your workout, three days this week.

【Vegetarian food is the healthiest】

Foods that are high in fiber and rich in protein can ensure a balanced diet and provide a sense of satiety. After a week of detox, you'll definitely want to continue.

Start with a green leafy vegetable smoothie: For breakfast, make yourself a 350-calorie smoothie that contains fruits and fresh green vegetables that are high in antioxidants, and you can also add other things like cocoa or green tea. It is recommended that you take vegetables and fruits out of the refrigerator before going to bed, so that you will not shiver after drinking icy smoothie the next morning. Room temperature is best and will not hurt your stomach!

Eat clean: For lunch (450 calories) and dinner (500 calories), choose whole grains that are high in fiber, healthy fats, and protein. Eliminate excess sugar and alcohol, and you'll avoid putting on weight and your skin will appear clearer.

Indulge occasionally: When you feel like cravings, eat a 150-calorie snack twice a day. This will keep your metabolism going and ensure you don't feel hungry.

【Calm the Mind】

Stress can cause local muscle enlargement, increase cravings for fat and sugar, and elevate the hormone cortisol, all of which can lead to the accumulation of fat in the abdomen. If you want to change your body, you have to change your mind as well.

Meditate daily: A study found that women who meditate pay more attention to their diet, which can help them lose weight. Experts say to spend 10 minutes every day sitting with your eyes closed and focusing on your breathing. Each exhalation (through the nose) should be twice as long as the inhalation.

Get enough sleep: Getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night can help reduce waist size. A research report in "Obesity" pointed out that women who sleep less than 6 hours on average will have their waist circumference increase by more than 2 inches (about 5 cm) over 6 years.

Mood-boosting cardio: Replace high-intensity interval training with gentle, long-term exercise to keep your body energized.

Go outdoors: A study by the University of Essex in the UK shows that any outdoor activity, just 5 minutes, can make you happy all day long.
