Diet Quotes

Dearest Trophy:  Today I want to share with you some motivational words found in some awesome quotes... starting with one of my favorites from Marilyn Monroe.  Though I must admit to you I think the most sound advice I have adopted in life is this: "Don't argue with Stupid, he will win every time..." -it is a spin on a Mark Twain quote I included below  -Love your Trophy Wife Diet Diva

Do you really need 8 glasses of water on a diet?

Dearest Trophy:   No matter what diet you decide to do while trying to hit your weight loss goals, every single one of them will tell you to drink water.

Hydrate- Hydrate- Hydrate -

I have tried the #SouthBeach diet, the #Atkins diet, the #L.A.Weightloss diet - to name a few...but no matter which diet it was they all screamed and repeated the scream; You have to drink water.  Some explain it simply and recommend the traditional 8 glasses per day.  Others are more specific and have you weighing and measuring the ounces water you must consume based on your actual weight.  But all of the popular diet plans out there recommend water as an important component of the diet.  

A recent study by researchers in Europe found that drinking water can actually accelerate the amount of calories you burn each day.  That is reason enough for me to drink it.  But of course you know me doll, I have got to turn even something as simple as a glass of water into a "TrophyWife" experience.  Here are some of the ways I upgrade my H2O with some great recipes from Prevention magazine:

Each of these recipes makes 2 quarts. Unless noted otherwise, top the ingredients with 6 cups ice, fill the jar with water, and stir, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors infuse. 

**Stir together 2 cups pineapple chunks, 1 cup pitted and halved fresh cherries, and three cored and thinly sliced granny smith apples.

**Scrunch 8 fresh basil leaves to release their flavor. Combine them with 3 cups halved strawberries, and gently muddle with a wooden spoon or spatula.

**Gently crush two vanilla beans with a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir them into six pitted and sliced peaches.

**Scrunch six mint sprigs to release their flavor. Combine them with 3 cups cubed mango (fresh or frozen) and two thinly sliced limes; gently muddle with a wooden spoon or spatula.

2 Day Detox Diet DIY

Everything's Diva  *  Everything's Diva  *  Everything's Diva

 Dearest DIVA:  I am pounds down and feeling GOOD!!  Mr. Trophy has been sliding his arm around my waist more often -He is feeling good too! L.O.L.   We are on vacation so I have put the diet on "slow down" so that I can enjoy a few treats. But I am not slowing down with workouts, swimming and dancing as much as possible!  I am also planning my recovery to reboost my diet when I get back to reality - with the 1-2 Detox, a 2 day detox program.  While the cleansing effect of the 1-2 Diet is great, what's even greater is the 2-4 pounds I usually drop right away.  Here is the recipe below to try it.  -Trophy

This 1-2 Detox is not for everybody. 

 It takes discipline, a healthy body and dedication. And Diva's are spoiled so sacrifice is not easy.  But if you are ready to get healthy and willing to get ready for the starring role called your life - then this will be no problem for you.  Why do it?
   
The 1.  Because we are #1 and must take care of our temple.  We are going to cleanse the colon & toxins in the body and get some "gunk" out.
The 2. Because it only last two days. And once you start you have to stick to it to get the results. 

How to:  Mix together the 1-2 Detox Drink.  Each morning drink 8 oz. of the 1-2 Detox Diet mixture along with 1 large boiled egg -the whites only! Follow with 3 more drinks throughout the day, spacing them out as you would your meals and a “snack” before bedtime.  In between these meals you must drink plenty of water 6-8 glasses each day.  You can put real lemon juice and cucumbers in your water.
You may also eat raw green leafy veggies with this diet. That’s lettuce, greens, or spinach.  (About 2 heads) RAW only!  You can drizzle a couple of tablespoons of your 1-2 Detox over the leafy greens to act as a dressing or use balsamic vinegar.

1-2 Detox Diet Recipe: (there is reason behind this blend so try not to deter)

6 oz of each Cranberry, Pineapple, & Apple JUICE – Real fruit juice
8 oz of Orange Juice – Pure with or without pulp
4 oz of each Apricot, Peach, & Banana Puree
1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper
You can puree the fruit yourself if you have a food processor or you can just use baby food.  If you use baby food note that apricot is sometimes hard to find un-blended so a mix is ok.  for example an Apricot/berry blend will work.  

Mix everything together and add an equal amount of water.  You can do this all at once (the 38 oz. of juices with 38oz. of water) or mix together the 1-2 Detox Diet juices with the water as you drink it (4-6oz of juice blend with 4-6 oz of water).

*Don't want to blend yourself, check out the Detox mixes at the drugstore.  I like mixing myself- I know its fresh and exactly what's in it.  But I have tried the Hollywood Diet drink mix available at chain drugstores or online.
