Best breakfasts before going for a run,
High carbohydrates? High sugar? No breakfast?
How can you best prepare yourself for a run?
Porridge- the breakfast of champions,
Porridge is the king of marathon breakfasts in my opinion. Slow releasing, complex carbohydrates- perfect for a long period of exertion. If you're running for 2 or more hours, get yourselves some porridge for breakfast and set off 2 hours after you've eaten it.
The full English- be prepared to be full,

Three easy detox tips,
Make these three things a way of life!
Green tea!
I know it doesn't taste fabulous, but it really is wonderful at speeding up your digestion. I always feel like my stomach is flatter when I've been drinking it for a few days! Aim for a cup a day, to keep the bloating away!

Slimming World diet,
I followed the slimming world diet plan in April 2011. I lost a
stone in 8 weeks & I enjoyed the diet plan.
stone in 8 weeks & I enjoyed the diet plan.
Extra Easy
On a normal daily basis I would choose the extra easy option from the diet plan. This meant that any 'free food' I could each, then I could choose a 'healthy option a' & 'healthy option b'. Free foods consisted of all fruit & veg, potatoes, beans, pulses, lean meats, fish , pasta, rice, couscous & muller light yoghurt's. I found this fabulous as I could eat soooo soooo much! Healthy option a choices were your dairy requirements; cheese & milk. Healthy option b was my whole grains- bread, cereal bars & there were a few soup options. On top of ALL this food I also had 15 syns a day! The best way I can explain this is 10 chocolate fingers- each chocolate finger had 1.5 syns. The book came with an easy to follow syns index; you could find out most naughty foods syn value in less than a minute. And you also had a catalogue of free foods which you can help yourself to.
Red Day
On a red day, you could eat more meat, and more whole grain. Your potatos & pasta weren't 'free foods' & you had to weigh these out. I didn't often have a red day as I'm not much of a meat eater so I'm probably not the best person to write about red days. Your fruit & veg are still free & you can have as much as you like.
Green Day...
