It's inevitable... in a few more weeks it will be time to get back in those dreaded bathing suits! I have heard from gals of all sizes that it's never easy to get back in bathing suits but come on people it's DEFINITELY HARDER if you're carrying some extra lbs. Today I read an article on WW.com giving some quick tips that may actually make this summer in our bathing suits not so bad and cure a case of the bathing suit blues!
Here are a few tips from the article that quite frankly I never thought about until now!
Extreme eating: Make a conscious effort to eat very cold snacks, like a popsicle, or very hot ones, like a cup of hot consommé. The extreme temperatures will make you eat slower, which gives your body time to signal your brain once you've had enough to eat.
Spice it up: Carry a bottle of red pepper flakes in your work bag or keep a jar of hot chili peppers in the refrigerator at work. There's evidence that adding them to your lunches may help boost your metabolism.
Eliminate one fat: Each day, make one non-fat substitution. Swap out half and half with fat-free creamer in your coffee, for example. You can save hundreds of fat calories each day that would otherwise go straight to your hips and thighs.
