This is a safe and sensible 7 week detox that will turbo boost your health and wellbeing for the new year. 7 weeks is a sufficient amount of time to reboot your system for vibrant health and glowing skin. Considering there is 52 weeks in the year, 7 weeks is not that much time, just think how good you will feel and look by the end. It takes 21 days to break and start a new habit so by the time you are done, you will most likely continue this way of eating 80% of the time because of the health and beauty benefits. By nourishing yourself with nutritious meals, mat workouts, and positive mantras, you will feel a difference, see a difference and be a whole new you.

Moving your body

Weekdays: 5 Days a week of effective exercise at least 45 minutes of Power yoga like ashtanga, vinyasa/ power flow, and advance mat pilates /reformer , these both combine breathing and moving at the same time, with physical results of sculpting/ strengthening, toning and tightening… the combo makes you looks long and lean. Yoga, pilates and meditation are integral components for a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The perfect balance of making you both feel and look strong .
Weekends: Weekends opt for more gentle movement like yoga nidra, hatha yoga, a bike ride or a long brisk walks. ( this is why I love having a dog, I get at least an additional 30 minutes a day of effective exercise)

Wellbeing

Indulge in wellness treatments like massages, acupuncture, reiki, reflexology, crystal healing, and relaxing facials these all have wellbeing benefits to help calm and cleanse you even more.

Check out your local yoga studios and sign up for a wellness work shop or 2 or 3 during the 7 weeks, many of them host weekend wellness events. As this is the beginning of the year, and it is a 7 week reboot, its a great time to invest in yourself, which will improve your sense of wellbeing, from a feeling of blah to brilliant.

Read: 20 minutes of inspirational reading every evening before bed; such as Success principles. The Secret, The universe has your back, The compound effect, Feel the fear and do it anyways, The magic, or The four hour work week ect.

Listen to podcasts: search for motivating, uplifting short pod casts, that you can listen to on the on the tube, in the tub, or just while walking to get your morning coffee.

Go out and get some fresh air, breathe, and walk at least brisk 15 minutes a day.

Wake up 20 minutes earlier: Wake up earlier and mediation first thing in the morning, download apps like head space, the calm or Chopra center.

Declutter: Spend 1 -2 days over a weekend decluttering your house; make a list from the kitchen, home office, bedroom, bathrooms, living room, books, stationary, medicine cabinet, electronics, make up, dvd/ cd’s and beauty products – go through the list, and take your time, I learned from Marie Kondo, if the item/ object does not give you any joy when you see, it feel it touch it and have not used it in a long time, than time to say GOOD BYE.. some things may be hard, but it feels so good by the end of this….. plus its an excuse to go out an treat yourself to some new shoes, luxury serums, and stationary 😉

Express gratitude: Every day think or write down three things that you are grateful for, anything from having shelter, vibrant heath, the gift of life, warm water, food to eat, clothes to wear, or support and love from family and friends ect. Adopting an attitude of gratitude is truly the vitamin for your soul. By turning your complaints into complimenting the good things in your life, will only give you positive mental benefits. Whatever you focus on expands, so be sure to turn negative thoughts into positive ones and just start to notice how good you really do have it, and count your blessings on a daily basis.

Unplug: After dinner switch off, and get off electronic devices… modern day living is revolved around smart phones, so it is important to just unplug, switch off and stay present.

Suggested supplements and products to invest in to boost your health, wellbeing and overall beauty from the inside out.

Lumity morning and night: the ground breaking anti-ageing supplement is the only beauty brand on the market that combats the 9 causes of ageing and I am now hooked since 3 months. Combined with my beauty food feasting approach, the results are amazing, “not to toot my own horn, but toot toot”.. it is a win win solution, Lumity plus Ashfab Nutrition compliment each other in a positive way from the inside out! To learn more about my Four month to fab plan combined with Lumity: contact me directly to set up an initial consultation in person or online.

Milk thistle; to support the liver, detoxify and cleanse.

Premium probiotics  to support your digestion and gut health, bad gut health means bad skin, immune system, bloating, and constant tummy troubles, so with proper nutrition and probiotics these symptoms will usually diminish within the month.

Krill oil or omega 3-6-9: this helps with skin, brain and immune health.

Magnesium citrate: 400mg before bed time: for better mood, memory, less anxiety and deeper sleep.

Vitamin B 100 complex: helps with mood, memory, focus and energy, as well as stronger nails and thicker hair.

1 cup a day of pure aloe vera juice: this is a potent colon cleanser, and will help heal gut inflammation ( bloating, cramps, tummy troubles, belly fat) as well as skin problems from within. Clear gut means clear skin, so start sipping.

Maca powder : add this to your smoothie, as it is a powerful energiser, cobnuts cravings and balances hormones.

Daily Epsom salt baths: this will relax your muscles and mind as well as help draw out toxins.

This is a 7 week detox to a sexy new you, so with proper planning, smart shopping, healthy cafe searching and meal prepping, you can do this! Once 7 weeks is over, I love the 80/20 approach which means 2-3 of your supper time meals can be more indulgent, just make sure to be mindful, chew slowly, fill half your plate with plants, and eat off smaller plates when you do indulge. This is 100% all in for the next 7 weeks.

Fact: If you have extra unwanted fat and toxins built up in your body you could be carrying an extra around 5-15b…. when you follow this 100%, move daily, and take the supplements for extra support, you could lose up to 15lb naturally during this period.

This is a time to refresh, reboot, and retox your body for the new year! You will feel lighter, brighter and brand new by the end! It is time to put yourself first and start on the journey to
healing and getting healthy and beautiful.

“Toxins from food and the environment can make you fat.
Toxins may come in the form of medication, bacteria, industrial
chemicals, and heavy metals, such as mercury. These pollutants
can damage or block the signals that control your appetite. You
can detoxify your body with the right balance of protein, fats,
fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients found in plant
foods.” – Dr. Mark Hyman

Good luck!
