Slim Down Summer
Summer is here and that means little shorts, swim suits, and strappy sun dresses, right? If you’ve stopped breathing by this point, try to regain your composure and listen. No hiding inside this summer! It’s about time that you felt like a million bucks walking down the street in your itty bitty bikini.
- Make sure to drink lots of water. Not only will it curb your appetite, but it will help flush out the toxins in your body that may be causing you to hold on to unwanted weight.
- Snack on healthy foods, especially fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon, all of which contain large amounts of water that will help quench your snack attack, keep you hydrated, and lose weight.
- Exercise. Taking a run in the park might not sound like a dream come true when it’s 100 degrees outside, but run early in the morning or late at night, purchase a gym membership, swim outside, join a pick-up football game at the neighborhood park… do something you enjoy, but stay active
- If you need a jumpstart in keeping your energy level at an all time high, try a weight loss supplement like Zantrex 3. It will give you that extra energy you need to be active and get through your day.
- Plan out your meals and cook healthy! Here’s a recipe that I found that is low cal, low carb, and is absolutely delicious: Black Bean and Tomato Salad
- 2(15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
