When we think of summer, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems that we naturally lose weight over the summer - not winning.
In reality, however, was not all beach volleyball and water sports. Many summer activities can work against our efforts to stay at a healthy weight (campfire and barbecue cupcakes, anyone?). The good news is that it's easy to avoid problems if you know what to look for.
Here are 5 ways to beat the summer weight gain:
To go with the objectives. When we have a plan, it is easy to spend the summer moving from the couch to the computer, with regular stops in the fridge. Avoid this aimed at a specific purpose, such as volunteering, mastering a new skill, or employment. Just be sure to plan a break so you can relax a little!
Stick to a schedule. In school, we lose our daily routines. If you do not have a job or a specific activity up, it's easy to sleep late, watch too much TV and a snack more than usual. Make sure your summer days have a structure - like getting up at the same time every day and eat meals at set times.
Plan activities for specific times, such as exercise before breakfast, for example. If you have time on your hands, offer to make dinner a couple nights a week so that your family can enjoy a meal sitting together.
Keep busy. When we're bored, it's easy to fall into the trap of doing nothing and then feel a lack of energy. Besides helping to avoid mass fill your days with things to do can give you a sense of accomplishment. This is especially true if a dream summer job or planned activity failed. Limit screen time - including television sets, computers and video - of no more than 2 hours per day (writing in this calendar to assemble!).
Beat the heat. Do not let the summer heat for the planned exercise on hold. Move your workout indoors. If the gym is not your scene, try bowling or an indoor climbing wall. If you like the outdoors, try joining a local group or move a trip or football in the early morning or evening.
Think about what (and how) you eat. Summer Picnics and barbecues - activities that revolve around food unlimited expansion. Take your time. Do not overload your plate. Avoid going back for seconds and thirds. Choose healthy foods such as fresh seasonal fruit instead of high-sugar, desserts of high-fat foods. To catch up with friends from his discussion, not the food and family. Another good tip for summer meals is to limit frozen foods like ice cream to no more than once a week.
