Want to feel better in your own skin? It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to having a 100% slimming and anti-cellulite day — one where you feel light, full of energy and truly taken care of. To help you build great habits, we’re guiding you step by step through the perfect day: nutrition, exercise, skincare… Your body is going to love it!
7am: a 100% slimming day starts with a gentle wake-up
A great day never starts with a jarring alarm, so for this 100% slimming day, take the time to wake up properly. Stretch, breathe deeply… Just don’t drift back to sleep or hit snooze! Once you feel nicely stretched and relaxed, get up and start your day.
7:15am: hydrate and flush out toxins
Once you’re up, prepare a large glass of warm water and squeeze in the juice of one organic lemon. Drink it on an empty stomach. This simple habit will rehydrate you after hours without drinking, give you a vitamin boost, wake up your system, help eliminate toxins that built up overnight and support your body’s fat-burning process. A brilliant ritual for a 100% slimming day!
7:20am: fuel up with energy
Once you’ve finished your lemon water, it’s time for breakfast. Skip the processed options like cereals, biscuits or white bread, and go for oat flakes, a coffee (or tea) and a piece of fruit instead. This kind of breakfast is ideal for easy digestion, fat burning and tackling stubborn dimples.
7:40am: embrace the benefits of cold
After breakfast, head to the bathroom for a warm shower — and finish with a blast of cold water, working your way up from your ankles to your thighs. As well as helping you wake up fully, this technique stimulates blood circulation and supports the elimination of cellulite. Keep enjoying the benefits of cold by following up with an icy-effect treatment, like the Cryo Slimming Gel!
8am: a little physical activity
For this 100% slimming day, swap the car or public transport for walking or cycling! If your workplace is within 30 minutes on foot or by bike, do the whole journey. If it’s further away, try getting off the bus a few stops early or parking further from the office than usual. Moving in the morning will boost your metabolism for the rest of the day — helping you burn fat more efficiently — while also lifting your mood and leaving you feeling energised. And with the lovely summer weather, you can even soak up some vitamin D along the way!
12pm: a slimming, anti-cellulite lunch
Lunchtime is here. This is the moment to give your body the energy it needs to power through the afternoon. Avoid anything too heavy — a big meal will have you fighting the urge to nap! Skip anything too greasy, too sweet or too salty as well, since these are all enemies of a toned figure. Ideally, bring your lunch box or put together a meal with vegetables, protein and wholegrains. Don’t forget dessert if you have a sweet tooth: dark chocolate, fruit, plain yoghurt…
This 100% slimming day is far from over, ladies — stay tuned to the blog very soon for the next instalment!
