This chapter will include 17 different secrets for dieting to get the ultimate summer body or even just 17 tips to a healthier life if you prefer to look at it that way!
1. Make sure you eat breakfast - it's been scientifically proven that eating a protein and fibre-rich breakfast leads to weight loss
2. Increase your protein intake - protein-rich foods require more energy to digest, thereby contributing to weight loss. They also help keep muscles intact during weight loss periods, while filling you up and supporting your metabolism.
3. Get 8 hours of sleep - studies show that those who get at least 8 hours of sleep have an easier time both losing weight and maintaining a healthy boy weight.
4. Do mini workouts - stoke your metabolism throughout he day with mini workouts
5. Eat colourful - fruit and veggies are low calorie and high in vitamins and minerals. Fill your plate with these and watch the pounds melt away.
6. Aim for high fibre - high fibre foods tend to be high in volume while low in calories. Think broccoli, fill up on these while lowering your calorie intake.
7. Plan meals ahead of time - make it easier to maintain a healthy weight loss diet by planning meals and food shopping in advance.
8. Eat oatmeal for breakfast - oats are slow-digesting and filling. Keep hunger and snacking at bay until lunch time with an oatmeal breakfast.
9. Eat healthy fats - healthy fats, such as those in almonds and salmon, and olive oil, leave you feeling satisfied.
10. Drink water - it's easy to mistake thirst for hunger. Reach for a glass of water before every meal just to be sure.
11. Lift weights - muscle burns more than 4x as many calories as fat. Do strength training to sculpt her body and boost your resting metabolic rate.
12. Bike/walk to work/school - turn your daily commute into a calorie-torching activity.
13. Minimise restaurant meals - restaurants are known to add salt, sugar and oils to their food. Try to eat only home cooked meals to avoid excess calories.
14. Look for liquids - try filling up with low-calorie smoothies and soup rather than bread.
15. Use a personal activity monitor - invest in a FitBit or other electronic activity monitor (I use a Withings activité watch) to keep track of your daily exercise and movement.
16. Replace refined grains with whole grains - think brown rice instead of white rice and whole wheat pasta instead of the traditional kind. Whole grains have more fibre, protein, and beneficial B-vitamins than refined versions.
17. Eat slowly - taking the time to savour your meal can let you evaluate your hunger. It takes 20 minutes to feel full so pause before finishing that sandwich.
