GET READY FOR THE SUMMER

Summer is almost here, however we still have some time to achieve our goals. Whether it's starting a workout regimen, or even losing those last few pounds, here are some tips to help you out.

Tip #1 TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING YOU EAT

          Take a picture of everything you eat and send it to your friends/family. This is very helpful when you want to eat more healthy foods. Your friends/family can also motivate you. By doing this you will see the changes you need to make and it will help you track your food over a long period of time. Unlike other food tracking apps which can be a pain and sometimes you even forget to add food, taking a quick picture is much easier and worthy, as they a say "a picture is worth 1,000 words".


Tip # 2 SUBSTITUTE UNHEALTHY FOODS FOR HEALTHIER ONES

• If you are craving chocolate or something sweet, opt for dark chocolate instead. 
• Instead of white bread and rice, use whole wheat bread and brown rice. Since they are complex carbs, it takes longer for your body to break them down, and they are also more rich in vitamins and fiber than simple carbs.

     Here is a list of foods that help increase your metabolism.

Tip # 3 DRINK WATER/ FRUIT FLAVORED WATER

 

              If you are not a big fan of water, you can always change up the taste by adding some fruits and make it more colorful and fun to drink.
