I think I need rehab. Sugar rehab, that is ...

How was your Easter? Mine was good ... but not for my waistline. To say I was surrounded by sugar would be putting it lightly. I was practically drowning in it.

But while I can't change the fact that I probably ate my weigh in Mini-Eggs, I can change what I do in the weeks following the sugar binge. I need rehab -- sugar rehab. Noshtopia recently posted a five-step plan to getting back on track after sugar overload:

  • Flush out your system by drinking lots of water
  • Eat lots of fresh veggies and a few servings of fruit too.
  • Have a little bit of protein every two hours.
  • Do some sort of vigorous activity for at least 1/2 an hour a day.
  • And for the love of pete, get rid of the sugar in the house. Going cold turkey is the best way to break the habit.

This is good advice any time of the year, but especially after a sugar craze.
