Dear Diary
Dear Rachel,
I overdid it this holiday and really
let loose and now I regret it. Is there
a liquid diet or a cleanse that you
recommend just for a few days to
reset my body? Once I lose the few
pounds I will definitely go back to
your healthy balanced plan.
Please advise,

Dear Overdid it and Regretful,
You are asking a great question. It
seems like a quick fix to detox for a
few days and get rid of all the extra
calories that we consumed fast, after
which we can return to moderate
eating and steady weight loss.
While in theory this makes sense, in
reality this never works. I have seen
hundreds if not thousands of clients

and have found that the fastest and
most consistent fix for losing the extra
weight from a bad day or weekend is
to just simply get right back on plan.
You can skip snacks in favor of lighter
fare such as fruit but do not cleanse
and do not drastically cut calories,
even for a day or two. It simply doesn't
work. You will lose a bit of water
weight but will be too hungry to keep
to a moderate plan once you are done
cleansing. Additionally you will slow
your metabolism so that everything
you eat post-cleanse simply sticks to
your waistline.
Your best bet is to continue eating
according to your plan, leaving off
any unnecessary extras such as treats
or extra fruits. After a few days the
extra calories will be gone, and you
