Losing Weight - How to Get in Shape Before Summer Arrives

With summer fast approaching, you might be in a dash to lose unsightly belly and thigh fat before beach weather hits. This is a phenomenon that occurs perennially, and so many people go about it in the wrong ways. The best weight loss is sustainable, so here are some easy yet powerful tips to make sure you shed fat fast and keep it off before summer.

Make sure you cut down on sugar. Not only is sugar calorie dense while lacking nutrition, but it triggers an insulin response in your body. What this means in terms of dieting, is your body goes into "hey it's time to store fat ASAP" mode, turning all that sugar and anything that goes down with it into squishy awful looking fat. If you can reduce your sugar intake, even by cutting out sugary fruit juices or switching to diet soda, you're going to lose fat rapidly.

While cutting out sugar is the number one way to lose weight, increasing your metabolism is right up there. When you increase metabolism, your body goes into fat burning mode, and your appetite drops. One of the most powerful ways to accomplish this is by drinking one cup of green tea either before or after each meal. Your energy will boost for hours after, your metabolism will increase, and your appetite will take a serious hit (for the better).

A third way to steadily lose weight before this summer is light exercise. You don't need to kill yourself at the gym and get militant to work out. Even two brisk 15 minute walks per day will tighten up your thighs and core, which will allow a more athletic toned look to come through as the fat wears off, in addition to burning lots of calories.
