There's a good chance that you'll find yourself in a bathing suit sometime this month.
If you are like most people then that realization will 1) bring a grimace to your face and 2) will motivate you to lose some weight. While I commend your desire to slim down before baring it all, I'm here to warn you of the 5 myths that most people fall for. Don't waste your time on these: Myth #1: Starve the pounds away. Attempting to lose weight by starving yourself is not only ineffective, it's also dangerous. It may seem that severe calorie restriction would deliver the quickest weight loss, but your body is complex and by doing so you'll disrupt your metabolism and slow your results. Tip: Don't starve yourself - instead eat healthy small meals throughout the day. Myth #2: Take diet pills to boost your effort. It's so tempting! The commercials make compelling claims about the power of diet pills, but don't fall for it. The 'magic pill' has yet to be discovered (it has been discovered - exercise. It's just not in pill form…). Diet pills are more likely to damage your health and burn your pocketbook than to slim you down. Tip: Don't pop a pill - instead burn calories with exercise. Myth #3: Do extra crunches to flatten your abs. We all want our midsection to look toned as we stroll down the beach, but excessive crunches aren't the answer for tight abs. In order to achieve a lean look you'll have to focus on burning off the layer of fat that is covering up your abs. Tip: Don't obsess about crunches - instead focus on fat burning. Myth #4: Eat packaged diet foods for speedy results. It is amazing to see the kinds of foods that are packaged as 'diet' or 'weight loss' aids. More often than not these products are packed with refined sugar and other artificial ingredients that your body doesn't need. Tip: Don't eat packaged diet foods - instead stick with nutritious whole foods. Myth #5: Avoid all carbohydrates in order to slim down. Carbohydrates have been given a bad rap, which is unfortunate because you can (and should) eat carbs while losing weight. The key is to stick with whole grains, oatmeal and brown rice while avoiding processed and refined flours and sugars. Tip: Don't swear off all carbohydrates - instead stick with wholesome carbs. Now that you know what not to do in order to look great this summer, it's time to go over your beach ready game plan. Here's what you need to know in 3 simple steps:
