Drink More Water** Make water consumption a priority the day after your Halloween festivities; not only does it help flush out all your indulgent decisions, it will give you more energy to tackle the day. **2. Break the sugar addiction** Eating a lot of sugar will only make you crave it more. If you are craving sweets, take 5 days to wean yourself off sugar and refined carbs by eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies instead.  **3. Fight fatigue** Whether you hosted a Halloween party or spent an exhausting couple of hours corralling trick-or-treaters, the holiday can eat into your sleep time.  To make sure you don’t feel tired all day, fill your diet with fatigue-fighting foods -  nuts, seeds, leafy greens, whole grains, fish -   and make it a priority to go to sleep early tonight. **4. Eat nourishing foods** You’ve had enough processed food, now it is time for some real foods.  Eating a produce-rich meal plan will help your body crave the good instead of the bad. **5. Move more** Get your metabolism going – and sweat out all the bad stuff – with an intense workout; if you can’t bear the thought of exercise, go for a walk or do a few detoxifying yoga poses to get things moving.   ### Share This Post! - - - ## Get in touch!
