5 Ways To Get Bathing Suit Ready In 30 Days

Memorial Day – the unofficial start of the summer season – is just weeks away.

And, if you’re like most people, then you may be stressing about looking good in your summer clothes, bikinis, or shorts.

This may result in you – and others - trying dangerous diet plans, cleanse programs, or detox plans that may lead to unhealthy changes in your weight.

Now, there is always a right and a wrong way to do things.

And weight loss is no different…

Five Ways to Look Good This Summer

There are many people that do the WRONG things when they try to lose weight.

They try dangerous diets, exercise plans, cleanse programs, or detox programs in order to lose weight fast.

However, what they don’t realize is that these dangerous plans may be setting them up for failure in the future.

You see, when you go on any number of plans that cut calories to dangerously low levels, then chances are you are going to lose more lean muscle tissue and preserve your body fat.

And this may make you look thin – but flabby.

But, if you do things in a smarter way, you may find your body changing – for the better!

These five tips are designed to create weight loss results that leave you feeling fit, lean, and trim.

So without further ado…

The Five Ways to Look Better

1. Simplify Your Swaps

The best way to burn extra fat is to watch how many calories you’re eating.

In fact, in order to lose weight, you want to burn more calories than you are eating.

And there is no better way to do this than cutting your calories by making healthy swaps.

By switching out a piece of milk chocolate for dark chocolate, or a cookie for an apple, you will shave calories from your day.

But you need to start off slow.  Instead of making all the changes at once (may lead to failure) make slow, gradual changes to your plan.

This should help you gradually implement healthier lifestyle changes that will be good for your body and your waistline!

2. Pump Up the Iron

Strength training could be the diamond in the rough when it comes to weight loss.

In order to burn more calories, you need to make sure you have plenty of metabolism-boosting lean muscle mass on your body.

Lifting weights that are slightly heavier than what you’re accustomed to, will help your body to make changes to your muscle tissue.

And this may lead to boosts in your metabolism that builds a lean, trim, and fit body perfect for hitting the beaches.

3. Shrink Your Portions

Portion control may be one of the easiest ways to increase your calories and gain weight.

But, if you shrink them down a size (or two), then chances are you will lose weight and fat.

A good rule of thumb: a closed-fist is a good portion of carbohydrates and an open, flat palm is a good portion of protein.

Portions that are too big can easily lead to excess calorie intake – which leads to greater fat gain.

Keep your portions in control in order to control how much your waist shrinks.

4. Jack Up the Cardio

Increasing your cardiovascular activity is a great way to boost your calorie burn.

You should aim to include at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity per day in order to maximize your loss results.

Of course, a much easier approach is to include higher-intensity bouts into your cardio.

This may preserve your muscle stores and burn fat – sometimes up to 72 hours post-workout!

No matter how you do it, including strength and cardiovascular exercise is important for boosting calorie burn and shrinking your belly fat stores.

5. Catch Your ZZZZ’s

Didn’t get enough sleep last night?  Do you find yourself craving junk food from the vending machine down the hallway?

Sleep loss has been linked to increased cravings for nutrient-dense, calorie-laden snacks and treats.

And those treats have been shown to boost weight gain and fat gain.

So make sure you are getting EIGHT hours of sleep per night in order to prevent unruly cravings and boost your body’s fat burning potential.
