5 Quick Tips To Slim Down Before Summer

1.) Eat “Bulky” to Slim Down.  Choosing “big” and bulky foods such as fruits, vegetables, soups, and salads will fill you up without packing a lot of calories.  These foods are filled with fiber and water, as opposed to “smaller” foods that tend to be sugar-rich and dense with calories. 

Many studies have shown that our hunger tends to be satisfied by eating a certain volume of food, (4-5 pounds per day) rather than the amount of calories per meal.  Conclusion:  Eating more bulky foods will help to curb your hunger and help you to lose weight faster.



2.) Snack Smart.  When starting any weight loss program, cravings can absolutely kill your diet!  When you are craving fat-rich or calorie-rich foods, try and find a lower calorie food to pair with it.  For example, when craving chips, eat it with lots of healthy, fresh salsa (which is low in calories and will fill you up!)

The good news is, as your body gets more accustomed to eating nutrient rich foods, you will crave these sugars less and less.  This very important for long-term weight loss.



3.) Heat It Up For Breakfast. Oatmeal and other hot cooked cereals have only 1/5th the calories of dried cereals.  Hot cereal packs around 300 calories per pound where dry cereals can contain 1,400 up to 2,000 calories per pound!  In addition, hot cereal is more filling and can be a very nutritious way to start the day. A great addition to any weight loss strategy. 


4.) Pasta over Pizza.  Pizza dough is very dense with calories, containing around 1,250 calories per pound.  This is not even including the cheese, tomato sauce, or any toppings.  Pasta is a much more health conscious choice when eating Italian.  Your typical pasta dish, including the tomato sauce and vegetables will take you down to around 600-700 calories per pound.  


5.) Focus on the breathing.  Did you know that fat loss happens mostly via exhalation?  Whether you're doing a K-Fit HIIT workout or going on a walk around the block, make sure you're huffing and puffing a little in order to kick start the fat burning process.  

Despite what some "experts" say, there is no mystery fat burning zone.  You are burning fat the moment you start moving (the ratio changes as you exercise; the further into the workout, the more fat you burn).   Focus on activating bigger muscle groups by doing squats, pushups, lunges, rowing, biking.   Weight bearing exercise will also help to maintain/ increase bone density which is very important to help prevent osteoporosis.  Try to find at least 15 minutes in your day to do some form of exercise.   Good for the body, good for the mind. 



If you're looking for other ways to slim down, make sure to check out our 28 Day Summer Slim Down Challenge starting next month.  Our last round in January saw participants lose an average of 9.5 lbs (click image below for details).

I tried for years to boost my immune system but I would always somehow "mess up" and end up trashing my health with bad choices. Then I found out about these simple foods and now I feel healthier than I have in 20 years:

I'm a home online working mom, with 7-8 hours of working in front of my laptop every single day and I gained weight in 10 months, more than I was pregnant. I tried the method available here: http://bitly.com/2ku7NKK - the short version: Changing my morning habbits helped me a lot losing weight. It's not easy, but with this tutorial and some discipline I managed to get a nice shape. My husband is a truck driver and he managed to lose weight more than me, in shorter time. Good luck, girls(and guys)!

Thanks for explaining how your body will eventually get used to eating foods that are high in nutrients which can help you avoid craving sugar. My wife and I have been thinking about losing weight in preparation for an upcoming marathon this summer, but we are worried that we may not be eating healthy since we tend to eat fast food whenever we take our lunch break at work. Maybe we should consider finding a professional that can help us find ways to lose weight.

Thanks for your tips to lose weight before summer. I like your suggestion to choose your snacks smartly. I think that it would also be beneficial to invest in a weight loss pill to help the process.

My dad has been thinking about losing some weight because he feels like he is fat, and doesn't like his body. He would really like to get the surgery done by a professional that can help him to be more healthy with fewer problems. It was interesting to learn about how he should try to eat pizza because it will reduce calories that he eats by 600-700 pounds, if he eats it instead of pizza.

Thanks for pointing out that weight-bearing exercises will help maintain bone density to prevent osteoporosis. My husband and I want to have a healthier lifestyle for our five kids. With this, we will look for a weight loss program on Monday that can help us control our hunger and burn fat faster so we can lose weight within two weeks.

Don't let the summer sneak up on you and catch you unprepared. We all know that we can't avoid the inevitable barbecue season without taking some precautions beforehand. It's important to stay healthy and show off those muscles in a tank top or two.

I like the tip that you gave that your body could crave to healthy foods if you begin to eat them. Last night, my sister told me that she was planning to start her weight loss journey to achieve her ideal weight, and she asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. I appreciate this helpful article, I'll be sure to tell her that consulting a trusted medical weight loss can provide more details that could help her with her journey.
