1) Drink plenty of water.
The recommended water intake is between 2 and 3 liters which is a little more than 9 cups. While soda and juice may be very tempting, they contain a lot of sugar.
2) Eat sweets in moderation.
They are called treats for a reason; plus that way you do not feel guilty afterwards.
3) Fried foods are not your friend.
Self-explanatory.
4) Take the stairs.
Instead of your normal flow, do two at a time.
5) Do what you already do at parties, dance!
Dance your a** off. But if you do go to a party skip the beer, beer is full of carbs.
6) Find gym inspiration.
It doesn’t have to be a picture of a supermodel but reasons why you want to be fit.
7) Get a gym partner!
Having someone who is depending on you makes it a lot harder to slack off.
8) Don’t like the treadmill?
Join a zumba class or spin class. Make exercising fun.
9) Results do not happen overnight.
It takes time and dedication. Just have a little faith.
