Summer is approaching! How well have you kept to your New Year’s Resolutions? There is still time to meet your goals and burn off those remaining calories. Look your best for relaxing beach days or lounging by the pool this summer. Don’t allow yourself to overthink your appearance or stay home inside because of it. Do your best and head out proudly!
If you need some extra help getting your body beach ready, try these tips:
1. Cut sugars, fats and alcohol from your diet. The trick to dieting is substitutions. Do not stop eating – your body requires nutrients throughout the entire day. If you can’t stop cold turkey, reduce your intake. If you’re hungry, reach for a vegetable. Any time you crave junk food, find something healthy to eat. Substituting healthy foods is much better than denying yourself food altogether.
Pro tip: Talk to a physician about your specific dieting patterns, and formulate a healthier plan that works for you. Your physician can recommend foods you like as part of a balanced diet, which can lead to weight loss, increased energy and reduced risk of disease.
2. Find time to exercise. Is there time in your schedule somewhere, but possibly hidden? Understand this fact – you don’t need to join a gym to exercise! Go for a walk on your lunch hour, park in the space furthest from the door, go jogging with your dog or spouse, do sets of 10 pushups while you’re cooking dinner or watching TV and stretch every morning and night. Did you know that if you exercise, you’ll burn calories at a quicker rate later on, even when you’re sedentary?
Pro tip: Consult a physician or expert trainer about your goals, and which exercise routines will help you get there. Do not try anything that is dangerous or too exhaustive for you. Start small and build your strength.
3. Use select supplements for an added boost. Multivitamins and appetite suppressants can boost your energy and reduce your cravings. Vitamins can facilitate a healthy metabolism while appetite suppressants can help remove some temptations.
Pro tip: Do not start a supplement regimen without first speaking to a professional. Particularly when starting a new diet and exercise routine, your physician can help you understand what is going on with your body, along with explaining the various causes and effects.
