Even the most stressed of people let their hair down and hang ten during winter. So, in the most celebrated and comfortable time of the year, you find yourself relaxing and devouring three times the calorie per day you usually consume. And, unknowingly, you make it to three sizes up in just two weeks.
Now, you no longer fit into your favorite jeans, and you are forced to wear the sweatpants even if it’s Wednesday. Suddenly, wearing a bikini is not an option and the holidays don’t seem so appealing anymore.
Well, stop moping around about eating that bowl of chocolate ice cream and the three slices of strawberry cheesecake your mom made you. There’s no point in crying over spilled milk, or in your case, empty bottles of milk.
It’s time to get your A-game on and take back your body! Here are five simple and effective diet plans to shed off the excess weight:
Don’t skip breakfast
Just because you’ve eaten too much for the few weeks, doesn’t mean you have to stop eating anything to lose a few pounds. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, will only leave you starving and then wanting to eat more. This will then lead to gaining more weight, which is something that you don’t want.
Eat breakfast so you have the energy to do your tasks for the day. And, you won’t have the urge to eat a few sugary treats every now and then.
Drink more water
You feeling hungry almost every time is sometimes just your body telling you that you are thirsty. Next time you have an impulse to eat a chocolate bar, try drowning that impulse with a glass of water.
Moreover, your body mostly composed of water and getting hydrated all the time ensures that all the other parts get the necessary amount they need to function properly.
Eat your greens
Fiber is your friend. You want to inject more fibrous fodders in your meals because it helps you digest food better. Leafy green vegetables are rich in fiber and you have tons of selections from your local grocery and Farmer’s Market to choose from.
Aside from fiber, you are dosing up your body with much-needed nutrients, which you can only get from fresh veggies. Taking care of your body doesn’t mean just being thin enough for a bikini but also having the body and the energy to do the things you want to do.
Say goodbye to your bag of chips
Losing weight is already hard enough. There is no need to make it more difficult for yourself. So, throw away your bags and bags of junk food, and anything that isn’t necessary for your health.
Make an inventory of what is inside your fridge and kitchen cabinets and take out those that don’t fit into your healthy diet.
Commit
Yes, make a commitment. It is easy to choose the food that we eat but being consistent about it can be very challenging. An effective diet plan depends mostly on how unswerving and dedicated you are in following it.
Keep sight of your goal and don’t let a few chocolate bars take you off the right track. A few bites of pizza once in a while won’t hurt. And, of course, don’t forget to stay active and exercise. Your dream body is within your reach as long as you stay disciplined and you always put your health first.
