How to Squeeze Back Into Your Summer Clothes The Healthy Way

Summer is just around the corner, which means it’s time to get out the dresses, skirts and bikinis. If you’re one of the many women dreading baring all in the sunshine then you’re probably looking for ‘get fit quick’ schemes or complex dieting plans. Stop searching now! We’ve got all the best tips for squeezing back into those summer clothes, the healthy way.


Track your goals
One of the best pieces of advice we can give you is to keep track of your goals. There are tons of free apps and trackers available; that can help you do this quickly and easily. Websites and apps such as My Fitness Pal can get you on the right track to losing weight, by monitoring what you eat and how much exercise you do. Simply put in your current weight and height, followed by your goal weight and how long you have to lose it. You’ll then be given a calorie goal to follow, along with plenty of advice and support from other members. Keep an eye on what you’re eating, and you’ll quickly pick up ways to cut down on calories and fat.


Use photographic evidence

This is the perfect way to motivate yourself during those times when you feel tempted to binge eat. You need to find a picture of yourself from last summer, in your favourite bikini or dress and then take a picture of yourself in your underwear now. You can merge the two together using a basic computer program, like Paint, and then see how it makes you feel. Chances are you’ll be desperate to get back to that beach body! Next time you feel like snacking or missing out on that run, take a look at the pictures again. For extra motivation take pictures of yourself every week you’re losing weight; you’ll soon see a big difference.

Get outside
Losing weight isn’t just about cutting out certain foods, it’s all about the exercise too. Spring and Summer are the perfect excuses to get out into the sunshine and exercise more than you usually would. You don’t need to start running 5k every morning, but a few walks around the block every week is a good start. See if there are any local classes that take part outside in parks or fields. You tend to find aerobics, yoga and even dance classes are all taken outdoors when the sun comes out.
A little extra help

If you’re really struggling then consider a little extra help to kickstart that weight loss. There are plenty of healthy supplements out there that can boost metabolism and suppress hunger. Some of the best ones out there will tend to have lots of positive reviews and experiences on the internet, so do some digging first. Search for things such as green coffee bean max review and see what other people have been saying about certain products. Once you’ve found one with a good amount of reviews order a small sample and see how it works for you.

There’s no need to jump aboard the cabbage soup diet or workout for four hours every day, if you know the real ways that help you lose weight. Follow our useful guide and you’ll be back in those bikinis in no time!
