Mealtime Magic: Healthy Tips from Celebrity Trainer Amy Rosoff Davis

Original article from E! News
There's a reason that celebrities pay professionals to help them with diet and fitness: It's way easier that way.   
Seriously. Imagine if you could tap the resources of a wellness expert at the snap of your fingers. (Except you shouldn't actually snap your fingers, because that's totally rude.) Regardless, one of the ultimate celebrity luxuries is getting to suck the wisdom out of somebody, especially at this time of year when you have all sorts of grand ideas about how to make yourself over or detox or reset or revamp, yet no clue how to actually embark on that extremely lofty journey.   
But today, we're all #blessed enough to be sharing in some of that luxury. Amy Rosoff Davis is, to put it bluntly, a full-on wellness guru. She works with Selena Gomez as her trainer and chef, including getting the star ready for last year's tour, and all-around detox expert with additional clients like Kristen Bell and Emma Roberts, to name a few.   
Rosoff Davis is sharing the wealth with E! News, by giving us an exclusive look at her recommended detox diet. Maybe you're looking to do a whole-self makeover, or maybe you just want to de-bloat from all that extra champagne you consumed from Thanksgiving straight on through...well, today. Of course, Davis has some words of wisdom before anyone looking to get their revenge body or get over a breakup.   
"Really focus on loving yourself and wanting to be your best self," she cautions. "That means what you put in you should feel good and be clean, but also delicious. How you take care of your body should feel good because especially after something like a breakup or a baby you want to feel your best. To feel your best you really have to take good care of your body so you are your best self.  
But once you've got the self-love down, it's time to batten down the hatches and detox. Davis stresses that the most important part of getting prepped for the new year is to eliminate the junk from your system.   
"This means no caffeine, added sugar (or fake sweeteners), alcohol, gluten, processed oils and butters, red meat, soy, dairy and shellfish," she says. "And, try to sweat as much as possible during your detox to get rid of toxins. Go to a steam room or sauna or, better yet, get to an infrared sweat lodge. Finally, start your day with hot lemon water to flush your system and aid in digestion."  
Now without further ado, let's get to the recipes—they're organized by mealtime, but feel free to mix and match however you like. It's your detox, why not go a little crazy?
