Do a Diet Detox

No, we’re not talking Betty Ford Center here. Instead, think of it like spring cleaning for the body. “Maybe you broke some of your personal diet rules during the holidays; now it’s time to get back on track,” says Fitzgerald. “Pick a month and tell yourself that you’re going to make some short-term sacrifices in an effort to cleanse the body.”

Fitzgerald, a certified sports nutritionist, suggests picking one or two unhealthy items, and cutting them out of your diet for a month, replacing them with more healthy foods.

“Maybe you eliminate potato chips and double your vegetable intake,” he explains. “A month isn’t that long, so psychologically you can handle it because there is light at the end of the tunnel. At the end of the month, relax your rules but don’t go all the way back to where you were before.”
