The last time I put on a pair of bikini was about one year ago, and I think I looked fitter then. I haven’t been exercising for more than a month, so I’m totally flabby! I will be going to the beach soon so I better stay slimming down for that bikini look. LOL!
I hate to be on diet. Furthermore, I am cooking now and I hate to see the food being wasted. That’s why I eat more in Bangkok as comparing to the days I stayed in Ipoh. Without yoga and belly dancing, I’m totally doomed.
So, if you are trying to slim down before a vacation, just like I do, try these tips from Hotel and Resort Insider.
Chew gum when you are cooking: While cooking if you are chewing gum you are neutralizing mindless eating. Whenever you get ready to cook don’t forget to take the gum into your mouth so that you always realize what you are doing at that present moment.
Always drink water: Water is quite essential for your body to gear up your metabolism. Calorie-free beverages such as water, herbal, black tea or coffee should be the major constituents of your summer body diet plan. In fact these are one of the best ways to keep your body fit and healthy. Just remember not to take tea or coffee more than two times a day.
Have plenty of raisins: Raisins are best to burn down all your fats in the body. They are considered to be the cheapest workout snack which you can always go for. It’s far better than the expensive gels and drinks. You can even take the help of salads, hot cereals and granola by adding the raisins to them. Don’t forget to plump the raisins for about fifteen minutes before using them in baked goods.
Munch on fiber the whole day: If you want to prevent yourself from overeating, you can fetch fiber, and munch them all throughout the day. Fiber will help you to keep your appetite full for long hours. It will be great for you if you can have the fiber in place of bread, pasta, or rice.
Dance while dressing up: If you allow your body to shake and move from its normal routine, you will feel fine and fit. If you can just give a childish dance while you dress, your calories will fall down a lot.
Don’t leave your plate clean: If you are a foodie, you will not like to waste even a small bit of your food on the plate. Well, this is fine but not always. This small change in your food habit can prevent you from over-eating. So you must eat 75% of the food that is served to you. It helps you to reduce the calorie content.
Avoid the second cocktail: When you consume alcohol you are not able to burn enough calories. So after having the first cocktail, don’t try to go for the second one. Instead go for a glass of cold water so that it can gear up your metabolism.
Consume more fats: Monounsaturated fats will help you to reduce your weight and will protect you from chronic disease. If you take any one of the categories that includes oils, nuts, seeds, avocado, chocolate and olives, then you can easily reduce your belly from being enlarged, and take your calorie well.
Quit the gym classes: Now, the gym makes your body solid. That’s perfectly fine. But not so fine because gym will create in you an endless urge for hunger which can further lead to overeating. You can easily go for home exercises that are much easier for you. There are many activities through which you can always gear up your energy level and burn down all your calories.
Eat your potatoes: Potatoes are considered by many people to be a fat producing substance. But the concept is actually a wrong one. Cooked or chilled potatoes are full of starch that will help you to reduce a lot of your weight. A potato is rich in nutrients and is a low calorie side dish.
Gosh, I almost signed up a gym membership, if I didn’t read this early enough. So bye bye treadmills, I hate bulky calves!
