Vacations provide an incredible time to rest, relax, and enjoy the finer things in life. If you’re like most, prepping for a vacation includes attempts to get your body vacation-ready. Crash diets are not the healthiest way to lose weight. They might work, but they leave your body starved, making binge eating or falling off the wagon a distinct danger.
If you’re looking to shed a few pounds fast or trim belly fat, options exist. The farther ahead you think, the better. This advice should not be used as a long-term solution. We hope this guide will kick-start your healthy living lifestyle.
Watch What You Eat
Shedding weight logically begins with changes to your eating habits. However, starving your body will prove unhealthy and unsustainable. Instead, partake in foods that will satiate you but contain less fat than your standard diet.
If you strictly adhere to a diet low in carbs, you can lose several pounds in just a few days. This type of eating also reduces bloating. Foods high in protein will boost your metabolism and reduce your appetite. Good options include lean meats, eggs, fish, and low-carb veggies.
Simple, single-ingredient meals are recommended. Prefabbed or processed foods usually contain preservatives and other ingredients that affect your metabolism. This means you will likely cook at home more before your vacation.
Be sure to avoid the following:
- Starches
- Sugar
- Junk food
- Processed food
Workout Tips
Many of us consider aerobic or cardio workouts the best way to trim excess fat. But weight training and resistance workouts are excellent methods to increase your metabolism as well. These, along with High Intensity Interval Training, offer more significant benefits than typical exercises. They prove especially effective when performed three to four times a week.
