The Fat Problem

Summer is the time when everyone goes on dieting as they’ll hit the pool and don’t want to look bad in their swimming suits. While dieting may help you slim down a bit, it really is not an answer as it is not a permanent solution. Even if you plan to diet it is dangerous to lose lose more than one or two pounds a month. On the other hand if you plan to keep your weight off permanently you must think of other ways of achieving it. Dieting helps you lose weight at the cost of body tone and body strength. Lifting weights and exercising will help you burn calories, tone and strengthen your body which in turn makes you look slimmer. Here are some small changes you need to make to slim down. 1) Change your lifestyle- Take stairs instead of elevator; Park you car a few blocks away and walk to your destination. 2) If you feel hungry, try healthy snacks like fruits instead of cookies or pizza. 3) You need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound. Cut down 50 calories from each meal; If you cut down 150 calories a day you will lose a pound in 24 days easily. 4) Exercise regularly- if you cannot do it at one stretch try splitting it into two 15 minutes workout. Don’t hide your body in those boring figure-hiding swimsuits; Flaunt it in the designer swim wear you have always dreamt about, the next time you go in for a splash in the pool.
