Summer is the season when we burn the most calories, making it also the most effective time for weight loss. So how can we scientifically lose weight in the summer?
First: Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
For girls trying to lose weight, the good news is that hot weather can reduce appetite. Because you don't feel hungry, you often don't want to eat. However, as soon as the sun sets and the temperature drops, you might start rummaging through your food reserves. Therefore, I suggest eating five meals a day, but making sure each meal is small and eaten at evenly spaced times. This will have a very good effect on weight loss.
Second: Be sure to drink plenty of water.
In the hot summer, the body's need for water is very high, so it's essential to drink plenty of water to maintain the body's water balance. Normally, in cooler weather, we need at least 7 to 8 glasses of water a day, but in the hot summer, you need to drink 2 to 3 more glasses, and you should try to minimize your intake of sugary drinks, cola, green tea, etc.
Third: You need to develop a suitable exercise plan.
The best time to exercise is usually before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Therefore, choose gentler forms of exercise such as jogging, swimming, yoga, and aerobics, and aim to exercise for at least one hour every day.
Fourth: Eat a light diet.
In summer, you can indulge in plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables without worrying about gaining weight. This is because fruits and vegetables effectively reduce fat and increase complex carbohydrates in the body, thus reducing your cravings for other foods.
Fifth: Encourage yourself
In summer, people often drag their overweight bodies around, which is truly a painful experience. But more importantly, obesity and health are mutually exclusive. So, in summer, you can look in the mirror more often and force yourself to look at those unwanted extra pounds; this might strengthen your resolve to lose weight.
