Summer is approaching and like everyone, you are probably figuring out ways to get rid of your belly fat and get back into shape. It is common to gain the winter weight due to many reasons. It could be because of the cold weather, the lack of sunlight, minimal exercise, and of course – the never-ending holiday feasts. But it is never too late to work your summer bod and flaunt your curves with confidence. The first step is to make healthy eating your summer resolution. Maintaining good health requires hard work though, at least initially. So in order to assist you in achieving your health goals, here are some tips for you:
One Step at a Time
Before you begin your diet or workout regime, ask yourself what you are trying to achieve in the end. Once you have set a goal, the next question will be – “is it achievable?” It is important to understand that healthy eating promotes long term effects rather than immediate responses. With that being said, you should be realistic with your goals. Set lower expectations in the beginning then challenge yourself as you go!
Find a Formula
Feeling lost in the beginning is absolutely normal. Hence, finding a standard formula may guide you better on what to eat and what not to. To narrow down your choice of foods on the daily menu, try following the famous Meatless Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, or Fish Fridays! That way, you’ll be able to come up with ideas faster and make meal prep a lot easier.
Peer Pressure Is Good
Peer pressure is often seen as negative, but in this case, it can serve as a great motivation to achieve your desired health goals. Sometimes, you just need someone beside you as a reminder or stimulant. Find a friend who can keep you on your toes and away from those burger and fries!
Social Media Log
With technology nowadays, it has become very easy to track and record what you do any day at any time. Instagram, especially, is a place where you can use your creativity and showcase your healthy dishes in an orderly manner. By sharing your beautiful smoothies and salad bowls on social media, you are also gathering interest, feedback and recognition for what you do. Who knows, your friends might even be inspired and encouraged to follow your healthy footsteps!
