As the temperatures rise, so does the anxiety level and desire to look amazing in a bathing suit. It's either a code orange or red alarm. Fret no more! Use this new found motivation to turn up the heat on your exercise routine and consumption habits.
The warmer temperatures provide you an opportunity to eat clean.
And to step up your workout routine.
Today, let's look at your daily eating/drinking choices.
The first strategy is to look at how often you drink water.
Hot weather can cause mild dehydration which hinders your workouts and impedes recovery time. And it you may tend to interpret the desire to drink with "I'm hungry" causing you to eat more. And experience shows that this is the moment when the food choices tend to be poor.
So one tactic you can use is to carry a full water bottle with you and sip from it throughout the day.
Another tactic is to set an alarm reminding you to get up and get a cold drink from the fridge or water cooler.
Also eating water rich foods throughout the day will help you feel fuller. Here is where the consumption of fruits and vegetables will help keep you hydrated and feeling full.
During the first few days of this wave of heat do yourself a favor and refrain from alcohol until your body adjusts to the sudden change in temperature. Remember you want to eat clean! Alcohol is NOT eating clean. If you do decide to have a libation or two, you can offset some of the negative effects by drinking water in equal parts to combat dehydration.
Remember, when you eat clean, your body will have an easier time cleansing itself.
You'll be eating better and healthier. You will also feel lighter. Once step closer to bathing suit ready!
