The romantic and cozy summer is here again. I bet you don't want to drag your chubby, out-of-shape figure around anymore. You must also want to play ball with your friends on the beach without any worries, and let your body bask in the bright sunshine.
By adopting a healthy lifestyle, you will gain more than just a summer without regrets.
Summer days are long and sunny, so we can take advantage of the "golden time for fat loss" before breakfast to do some jogging, cycling, or ball sports. Not only is fat metabolism most efficient at this time, but due to the suitable climate, the incidence of heart disease is also much lower than in other seasons.
People's metabolism is higher in summer, and combining this with some scientific strength training can bring unexpected benefits.
Hot weather can suppress appetite. Because we don't feel particularly hungry, we often don't want to eat large meals. We might eat small snacks every now and then, mainly consisting of fruits and vegetables. This is actually a healthy weight-loss diet: small, frequent meals, low in fat and carbohydrates, and high in fiber and vitamins. It's important to ensure you're getting adequate amounts of high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, and soy products, and to maintain a regular meal schedule.
When the weather gets hot, don't forget to drink more water. You need at least 8 to 10 large glasses of water a day, and don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. Once you feel thirsty, you've already started to dehydrate. You should also avoid excessive consumption of sugary drinks such as cola and beer, as they are high in calories and easily generate extra energy when consumed with other foods, which is then stored as fat.
In summer, you wear less clothing, so take a good look in the mirror. Are you satisfied with your figure? If the answer is "no," then start taking action! Let's work towards our common goal! You can definitely succeed!
