January 1 is right around the bend! And you know what that means … time to set our intentions for the New Year, while also cleaning out our innards from all the vino & sugar cookies! What’s the best way to do this? I’ve got 2 of the BEST methods for ya right here, chica boo:
- Whole30
- My recent post on what the Whole30 is will give you all the deets on this phenom of a nutritional reset. It’s a 30 day commit PLUS an extra 10-14 days of carefully reintroducing omitted food groups.
- Tone It Up
- TIU has a complete nutrition package with a dozen different plans (think Bikini Meal Plan, Fall Meal Plan, Wedding Meal Plan, etc.). Karena & Katrina (the boss babes behind TIU) created a NEW NEW Meal Plan that is $FREE.99 called the 5 Day Detox.
I’m so passionately in love with BOTH the Whole30 & the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan. How’s a girl to choose which plan to follow this January?! Simple, combine the two. Here’s how:
- Strictly adhere to the Whole30 guidelines, and incorporate ONLY Whole30 approved foods & ingredients from the Tone It Up 5 Day Detox (and Winter Challenge) Plan.
- Follow the meal recommendations for Tone It Up 5 Day Detox Plan, but swap out non-Whole30 approved foods with Whole30 foods.
Either way – you’re complying with BOTH plans, which gets us to our #tiuWhole30 combo jam. It’s that simple! To give you some feels on the similarities & differences in these plans, WholeHardy’s got you covered right here, doll face:
