How to Loose Weight before Summer Losing weight is never easy and coming up to the summer season means the pressure is even more severe as the warmer weather calls for shorts, skirts, vests and more flesh on display! It is so easy in colder months to comfort eat and put on a few pounds that stay relatively well hidden under baggy cardigans and layers of clothing. But when the summer comes round, what then? In preparation of losing some weight for this season, it is far better to begin well in advance rather than go on a crazy fad diet just weeks before you want to step out in a bikini. Giving yourself time means that you can do it in a healthy way and the pressure is not so severe. Diet and Nutrition It may sound almost too obvious to state, but everything associated with successful weight loss boils down to eating the right amount of the right kinds of food. Starving yourself or severely restricting calories will not get the results you want and you will be unhealthy and/or miserable! The best thing to do is to restrict your carbohydrate intake and also your consumption of processed food. This means limiting your carbohydrates to only include wholegrains like rice and bread. Eating these earlier in the day instead of the evening will also help. Banning processed foods such as chocolate, sweets, crisps, microwave meals and junk food will also mean a major difference in weight. How to loose weight means focusing on eating as much natural and fresh produce as possible, eating regular amounts of lean protein like fish, eggs and chicken, and of course supplement this diet with as much fresh fruit and vegetables as possible. Increasing water intake will also aid in banishing toxins which can compromise fat burning in the body. Exercise In understanding how to loose weight, diet accounts for the vast majority of success. But exercise is a fantastic supplement to this. Cardiovascular exercises such as running, swimming, aerobics and spinning are great fat burners and will also tone up the muscles being used. Doing this exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes per session and first thing in the morning will mean optimum results. Your body will have to use stored fat as an energy source and also your metabolism will get a great kick-start for the day. Throughout the rest of day, try to stay as active as possible. Walk when you can and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Little things like this can really add up and in conjunction with a healthy and balanced diet, this means you will look amazing during the warm months!
