DrTri Health & Fitness HomeWork - Spring Cleaning!

With Spring upon us (hopefully for good now...), it seems like a great time to do some ‘spring cleaning’!

One day this week (or two if you are an experienced ‘spring cleaner’ - I will explain), we are going to clean up our diet 100% and therefore clean out our systems a bit...

Choose a day to only eat fish and greens.  Nothing else.
For the entire day, the only things we will be eating are fish, tuna or salmon, and cooked greens, kale, broccoli, chard, broccolini, brussel sprouts, etc. etc.
You are free to prepare either any way you would like.  As long as the only ‘other’ ingredients you use are olive oil, coconut oil, pepper, fresh garlic, and/or sea salt.
Also, ensure that you are eating only fish and no sodium pyrophosphate, or other added ingredients to the can of fish.  I would suggest that you eat only fresh fish, but if you must eat either out of a can, then double check the ingredients!
No Tilapia.  The omega-3 to omega-6 balance is not ideal in Tilapia.
Also, just to be clear, no added sauces or flavorings or other ingredients!

AND, no coffee, no alcohol, no other drinks, no snacks, no chips, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Yes, we will be eating this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  I usually make up a big batch and carry it with me through the day and graze out of my trough whenever I feel hungry.

Other than the above greens and fish, we will also be drinking a certain amount of water on this ‘Spring Cleaning’ day.
Here’s the formula:
Very Active people:
Determine your body wt in kg (lbs divided by 2.2).  Add 20 ounces to this number and you have the ounces of water to drink.  (For Example: DrTri = 90 kg + 20 = 110 oz of water).
This is for people who work out at least 6 times per week.

All others:
Determine your body wt in kg (lbs divided by 2.2).  And you have the ounces of water to drink.
(For Example: Steve = 80 kg = 80 oz of water)
This is for people who work out 3-4 times per week.

Please continue to take all medications, etc. as normally prescribed by your doctor.

In order to be classified as an experienced ‘Spring Cleaner’, you must have done a ‘full on’ cleanse for at least 3 days in the last year.  For these people, we will be following the above regimen for 2 days.

Have a great week,
MRoss
