Tummy Flat Tips

Before you start thinking about additional tricks to help you with having your tummy flat, think about chewing your foods well as this is your tip No. 1. Chew food until it is like applesauce in your mouth. Since digestion begins in the mouth, and without proper chewing, food cannot be well-digested. Better-digested food means less gas and bloating. 

1. Warm water with lemon, apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper: this is an old recipe but works wonders if you do it on a regular basis i.e. every morning before your breakfast. This is a mini cleanse first thing in the morning which stimulates your digestion.
2. Dry apricots soaked in water over 1-2 nights: have 1-3 apricots every morning before your breakfast. It will stimulate your bowel movements, provides protein which in turn boosts metabolism and balances blood sugar
3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Have 1-2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil before bedtime. This will help your to stimulate the liver,
4. Flat Tummy Water: Cucumber, mint, ginger root of juice and lemon. Drink it throughout the day, every day. 

Preparation: Cut cucumber into round pieces and pour some water. Cut or juice ginger and add it together with leaves of mint into the cucumber water. Squeeze lemon into the water. Leave it over night and have it during the day in the morning. 

1. Blueberries smoothie based on Almond milk: Sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth but at the same time is great for balancing your blood sugar. The lower you keep your blood sugar, the lower you keep your insulin, and insulin makes you store fat around your middle.

Recipe:

• A handful of Almonds
• 1 cup of Blueberries

• 1 tbsp cold-pressed organic flaxseed oil (MUFA) 

Preparation: Blend Almonds milk and blueberries in blender, and blend for 1 minute. Transfer to glass, and stir in flaxseed oil.

1. Drink Green tea, Dandelion, Nettle, Fresh mint and Fennel: these 5 are the best flat tummy teas that help to keep you tummy flat.

The 5:2 Juice Cleanse: is it really worth the hunger?

 

Art Editor Sarah McGinnis has had success with the 5:2 diet - but fears a juice fast may tip her over the edge...

I’ve been a bit slack on the fasting front recently. I’ve lost about a stone and four pounds on the 5:2 diet, and with at least another half to go to reach my ideal weight I’m getting just a bit bored. I feel better than I ever have, but I just don’t know how many more carrot sticks and lettuce leaves I can eat before I lose my mind. I have no more genius meal ideas and quite frankly no desire to spend my Sundays prepping leafy food boxes for the week.

And then our beauty editor suggested I try a 5:2 juice cleanse... Erm, what?  No food? Two whole days of just juice and probably a lot of visits to the bathroom? It sounded like it could tip me over the edge, but somehow I was talked into it...

The company running the 5:2 juice diet, Purifyne Cleanse, has a range of programmes that can be tailored to a specific need, including its signature cleanse, anti-ageing and fitness cleanses. Designed to help detoxify the body by providing it with fresh and nutritious cold pressed organic juices, the 5:2 cleanse is supposed to promote healthy weight loss while increasing energy levels and (it says) is the perfect way to boost your system and improve your body. All it required was for me to swap my two 500-calorie fast days for two juice days. Here’s how it went…

DAY 1

I wake up feeling hungry. It’s going to be a loooong day. I make myself a hot water and lemon to start the day as it is recommended in order to improve digestion, and aids weight loss by helping to fight hunger cravings. Don’t ask me why but desperate thoughts at 7am meant that on the way out of the house I crammed leftover Creme Eggs and a half-eaten Easter egg into my bag -  you know, just in case.

I get to the office at 8.30am to receive my Purifyne Cleanse package. It’s impressively organised with labelled juices, supplements and information cards to ensure you are fully prepared for the two days ahead. As a juicing beginner, the information was a little confusing and a bit overwhelming but Purifyne were on hand to answer any questions I had via email or phone, so I never felt that I was stuck for too long without help.

In my package I have five juices. There is a green juice, a carrot and ginger one, a spicy lemonade and two Morning Bliss beetroot juices. Naively I thought I would get another delivery tomorrow. Lesson one: never assume. Never think there will be more juice. There wouldn’t be. This was my lot. I send a quick email to my contact at Purifyne asking if there would be another delivery. No such luck.

“You are on the 5:2 plan,” she reminds me. “It is a calorie-controlled plan so this is to last you throughout your two fasting days together.” Oh Lord, how am I going to get through this?

At 9.30am, in order to ensure you get enough nutrients throughout the cleanse, Purifyne supply you with different types of supplements. At the beginning of each day you have to take a full teaspoon of green superfoods and mix it with a glass of water. If there was ever a point in life where I wanted to question my sanity it is now. It is honestly like drinking a concoction dredged up from the garden. One of my colleagues was reeling off a list of healthy benefits of chlorophyll through her laughs in a bid to help me keep this sludge down. I sat there in a post-green grump watching everyone else munch on their morning pastries.

And that’s not the last of it; in the middle of the first morning juice I had to stir in some colosan powder and drink the rest of it. The beetroot juice was pleasant enough on its own, but having to stir in powder that made it cloudy and frothy turned it for me. It was just like being five years old again with your mother stirring in travel sickness tablets into a glass of milk.

11.30am and I’m still glugging my beetroot and colosan mix, alternating it with sips of mineral water - I never thought I would be so excited to be drinking water! In the midst of my confusion I forgot to take one of my Udo’s Choice capsules which is the size of a small balloon. I hate pills at the best of times, although I’d take these over the green powder any day.

1.00pm and the girls in the office were munching on their lovely salads. Me? I’m still finishing my first juice. However I’m not missing food yet, I feel full and am not actually tired or sluggish, although I’ve never been so excited about making a cup of herbal tea. (I have also visited the bathroom a dozen times in the past hour from the volume of liquid I was consuming.

3.00pm and I feel I need a boost so I give the ‘Deep Green’ juice a try. The Morning Bliss was surprisingly nice for one of those ‘good for you’ health drinks so I am looking forward to the next flavour which is a mix of cucumber, celery, spinach, lemon and lime. I’ve never been a fan of a green juice as I haven’t quite found one that doesn’t taste like I’m drinking liquidised grass cuttings. However hungry I felt, I’m afraid this was a no-go. As soon as I opened the lid my colleague said ‘Good god what the hell is that smell’. Ah, that would be me and my bottle of watery earth! I honestly could not stomach this juice and so have to go without.

Unfortunately there was no coconut water supplied with the cleanse, so instead I finish the afternoon with a few more cups of herbal tea and a few sips of the spicy lemonade which was so refreshing I could have drank five bottles of it.

By 6pm I feel a bit headachey, so I head home without finishing my green juice, instead having a super relaxing Epsom salts bath which quite frankly was the highlight of my day. On the 5:2 plan you are allowed a very small calorie-controlled salad in the evening before 6pm from a recipe sheet they provide. However, I am so washed out with beets and supplements I can’t imagine anything worse than eating, so instead I have a tea and am in bed by 8pm. The life of a 5:2 dieter is never easy...

DAY 2

I have never felt so refreshed and ready for the day ahead  - a complete contrast to how groggy I felt falling into bed last night. Something must have worked yesterday as I literally hopped out of bed at the sound of my 6am alarm which is unheard of. Maybe the juice was working its magic powers after all?

I loved starting my day with a hot water and lemon and a spot of body brushing, which was also recommended to aid the detoxifying process.

As I arrive at work my colleague Ayesha tells me my skin looks amazing and glowy (she always was my favourite that one!). Oddly I am feeling a lot brighter and at this point I don’t feel any worse than I would on a regular fast day, so I crack on with my supplement concoctions in the kitchen and attempt to get through the green superfoods (which is no easier than yesterday).

11am and it’s onto my beetroot juice - I’m actually getting used to this earthy vegetable taste and  am proving to myself that I can function on liquids without losing my marbles as I’d expected. After a shaky start yesterday, day two is going strong. I still have some spicy lemonade left too, which I would have everyday if I could.

12pm and my stomach won’t stop rumbling. I have my second juice of the day, which is the carrot, apple and ginger. WOW. This juice is delicious – I never thought I’d hear myself say that! I could happily sit and sip this without feeling as though I’m depriving myself; I wish I’d had this yesterday instead of the compost drink.

2pm and I’m feeling a bit sick on apple and carrots so I go and make a peppermint tea. Of course the biscuit tin is open and there are a few guys making builder’s brews. I try not to draw attention to myself as I hungrily stir my peppermint teabag while staring at the biscuits, and then some insensitive soul swoops in like a vulture and takes the last chocolate Bourbon. I give him an evil stare and realise I’m losing it a bit. I head back to my desk ready to freak out, but crack on with my afternoon and try not to think about food.

6.20pm on day two and I sin. I have a packet of popcorn. I couldn’t hack another sip of liquid, I was so hungry I felt sick and the commute home just about did me in. I could have made a salad, but I just can’t face chopping up another damn lettuce. The 5:2 plan is tough for a beginner. It’s good to know that there is room for a small salad as long as its before 6pm, but I surprised myself at how unappealing that is once you’re mid-cleanse.

Today’s juice variety, though, was so much more enjoyable. If I had to do this again (and I would consider it if I could consume more juice) then I would definitely try a signature cleanse so that there was more juice and more variety; five juices for two days was just too hardcore for me. On the plus side, Purifyne were really helpful and I now know which juices I really enjoy.

I can understand why people embark on a juice cleanse and completely see the benefits - I lost four pounds in two days. But for me, as a 5:2 dieter? Just give me another ball of lettuce and some carrot sticks, please.

Summer's Hottest Trend: The New 5:2 Juice Diet

Our new 5:2 Juice Diet takes the 5:2 Diet concept a step further by incorporating nourishing, restorative, detoxifying, immune boosting benefits of organic and cold-pressed juices in addition to your healthy meal per day. On the 2 days of the week while consuming only 500 calories for women or 600 for men during your 5:2 Diet, you will be receiving

• 2 x 500ml Freshly prepared, organic, cold-pressed juices per day
• 1 x 500ml Spicy Lemonade per delivery
• 2 x 150ml Chia Seed Shots per day

Designed in collaboration with one of the leading Nutritional Therapists in the UK, Vicki Edgson, the addition of organic and raw juices assist in boosting immunity, reducing cravings, controlling appetite and improving bowel movements.

 “The inclusion of Chia Seed delivered with the Purifyne 5:2 Diet ensures that you experience no spikes in blood glucose. It also provides sufficient protein, fibre and omega-3 to balance blood sugar throughout the day. The fact that this diet is supported with nutritional supplements makes it sustainable on a weekly basis.” 

Vicki Edgson, Nutritional Therapist

The New 5:2 Juice Diet offers convenience for people with busy lives and gives you the nourishing, restorative, detoxifying, immune boosting benefits of a juice cleanse. Purifyne juices come in a variety of combinations and are freshly prepared daily using a Norwalk Hydraulic Press to deliver the best quality raw and live juice possible.

BeautyMART's Millie Kendall felt in need of a major makeover starting with our cleanse plans

Purifyne is measuring up well against some of the other juice cleanses I've tried previously and I am finding the blends much tastier and more varied. My juices for tomorrow are (except for breakfast) all different and that appeals to me: variety is the spice of juicing.

Too Little Fat

Within your skin fatty acids make up an important component of the cell membranes providing structure and improving their function. Getting a healthy balance of the right types of fats is crucial for young looking skin. Excessive amounts of saturated fats or omega 6 fats found in red meat, dairy, vegetable oils and margarines can be inflammatory but equally avoiding fat altogether can lead to dry, flaky and dull skin.

Dehydration

Don’t forget the importance of water for maintaining the plumped out, youthful look of skin and making wrinkles less obvious. This is one reason why juicing is such as great skin booster. When your skin is dehydrated it looks old and dull. Central heating and air conditioning can dry out your skin. Coupled with a diet high in sodium this can reduce circulation to the skin, which in turn affects cell renewal and repair.

Make way for the 5:2 Juice diet!

Detox Tip of The Day

A sluggish lymphatic system is one of the primary causes of cellulite. Any fruit and vegetable juices (e.g. Beetroot, Celery etc.) help with cleansing the lymph system by emulsifying stored fat deposits in the lymphatic system and flush out the system from toxins more effectively.

The Most Essential Five Supplements to Take with You on Holidays

When it comes to holidays’ essentials we often think about bikinis and sunglasses, toiletries and sun creams, and completely forget about something that may aid our digestive system while tasting different foods, and help us increase our energy levels. Here are five of the most essentials supplements that we should not leave your home without:

• Probiotics create healthy bowel conditions, reducing the toxic load on the liver as the bad bacteria generate toxins that the liver has to break down. (Travellers should start taking 2-3 capsules before bed a week before travelling).

• Digestive enzymes assist in breaking down proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fibre in digestive system and helps to remove more waste matter. (Take some with you and have 2 with each meal).

• Vitamin C: Energising, invigorating and cleansing, Vitamin C (e.g. 1000mg effervescent tablets) helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives toxins away from the body. Dilute with cold water and drink it up!

• Ginger tea: Study has shown that Ginger tea helps settle digestion, ease nausea and make your journey more pleasant. Drink it before you set off and put some in your thermos for your trip.

• Psyllium & Probiotics: The combination of Psyllium husk and Probiotics will often work where probiotics on its own will not. Purifyne incorporate both into their Purifyne Cleanse and our Plan A consists of Psyllium Husk:

• • Psyllium husk is a soluble fibre that forms a bulk in your gut giving protection to the good bacteria in your colon.

Juice Cleanse vs Hair by Vicki Edgson

The author, writer and one of the UK’s foremost nutritionists and spokesperson for women and health, Vicki Edgson, knows a thing of two about how natural organic ingredients can benefits your body. So what does Vicki thinks about such a hot topic as the impact of juice cleanse on your hair, nails and complexion?

"It is known that your hair and nails (as well as the tone of your skin) all reflect the nutritional status of your body so I recommend regular high-quality juice cleansing to rid your body of built-up toxins, accumulated from the environment, stress and particularly the day-to-day toxicity owing to living in the City. 
A clean digestive system ensures that you absorb the best nutrients to support regrowth and repair, especially the minerals needed for this purpose. Taking supplementation always runs in second place to imbibing great-quality juices, which is why I favour regular juice cleansing with Purifyne."

Juice Cleanse Diary by Fitness Guru - Day 3

As a personal trainer I thought it be a good idea to experience a 'Juice Cleanse' for myself. Then only to pass on my experience to other/clients. I will be completely honest and admit, there were Up's and Down's over the past three days.

Up's

~ Plenty of energy Day 2. Day 3 - was all good till 4/5pm.
~ lost approx. 4-5 pounds (not that I wanted to) but I by the morning after the 3rd day partly due to getting rid of waste and water retention from Salts and Carbohydrates and partly due to the liver detoxification.

~ Most of the juices were enjoyable 
~ **The raw Almond Milk is delicious and when mixed with the Vegan Protein Chocolate Powder... Super Delicious
~ **The 'Maca Warrior' Pre-Workout Smoothie is also Delicious too
~ Eliminating all dairy/caffeine/Sugars etc can only do your body a whole lot of good
~ **My body felt really good. I felt lean and a lot less bloated

Down's

~ I lacked energy in the afternoon on Day 1. I continued with my usual training routine in the morning which involved a weight session in the gym but I still had a Zumba class to take in the evening. Picking up the energy for that was very hard. All was groovy once I started
~ Day 3 (Late afternoon) was really tough. With how active I am, what I was putting into my body (of which I didn't have a choice other than what Purifyne Cleanse offered per day) was just not enough.
~ It's like anything. The finish line was only a sleep away but boy did I struggle with my energy levels in the gym on the last evening. I officially reached HANGRY (Hungry + Angry) and we all know we don't enjoy being in anyone's company when they have reached Hangry.
I'd like to emphasise that I wanted a more Alkaline based Cleanse. I wanted as little Fructose as possible which is the natural sugar found in fruits. All my 'juices' were primarily Vegetable based with one ingredient of Fruit amongst a few bottles. This was perfect because I do have a sweet tooth and had something 'sweeter' to look forward to.

Purifyne Cleanse really do their best to fit your chosen programme to your taste buds/Dietary preferences, making it personal and not just one for all.
I want to Thank Purifyne Cleanse for their extremely great service and allowing myself to try their unique 'Fitness Cleanse Programme' before released to the public
