Good news for those trying to melt away a few more pounds while its still SUMMER!!! 1st things 1st, kill the soda. Its so yummy but its sooooo bad for you. As a former ginger ale addict, I can testify that you will drop at least 3 to 7 lbs. just by switching every soday for water, juice or a gatorade. If you dont love an icy cold glass of H2o then add crystal light lemonade....mmmmmm. If the soda isnt your issue, then look at what and how you eat; most of us young adults sleep in and skip breakfest which leads to eating a larger lunch and dinner and snacking. If you eat a sensible breakfast, such as a bowl of cereal (any kind of cheerios, flakes, pops, special k) with soy milk or low fat milk, you will boost your metabalism and energize your throughout the day. And when its time for other meals, eat smaller portions and drink a glass of water before you eat so you wont over eat. The next step is obvious but most people do not comply; if your trying to slim down you have to workout. You dont have to be a body builder but move more than you sit and eat and you will see results; walking , riding a bike jogging, running and swimming are a few activities that do not require a gym membership and you will see results. Also, find an activity that you love and stick with it. Im a new zumbaholic! Its a fun way to get a full body workout that will have you sweating and laughing all in one workout!!! The last tip is to not eat after dinner or 8 pm, if you have to have a midnight snack, had a granola bar and a glass of milk or water but dont make it an everynight thing. If you follow these steps and refrain from cheating this system, you'll be summer ready soon!!! And remember to have fun and love yourself!!!
