Summary: We all have those moments every couple months where one "bite" or one "piece" turns into a full-out binge! It's like as soon as that taste that you haven't had in months hits your tastebuds, it opens the floodgates and you become this food-crazed Mr. Hyde to your health-conscious Dr. Jekyll. Then you wake up the next morning, bloated, puffy, full, and hating yourself, right? Well, you can't help the bloat, puff, and fullness right away, but you CAN stop the self-hating and START the recovery to get your body back to where it was just 12 hours earlier. In this week's episode of Made Fit TV, I share with you some clever and useful tips on how to rid your body of the excess water, sodium, and toxins following your food marathon. Check out the meal plan below for a step-by-step guide of what to eat, when, to keep you accountable the day of your binge recovery. The following meals are based on a general range depending on your body type, weight, muscle mass, and gender. If you are a woman or weigh between 100lbs and 140lbs, stick to the lower range. If you are a man or weigh 40lbs to 200lbs, aim for the higher range. Space your meals out by 2 to 3 hours.
