Summer Body Sculpting Eating Tips

Help sculpt your summer body by eating fresh and light. It will help you stay more alert during those hot summer days. The easiest way to get sleepy in the afternoon is to eat a 1000 calorie triple cheeseburger! That's a good way to pack on the body fat too!

You're on the run alot during the summer right? Pack your meals with healthy foods that are easy to prepare or eat. Pack your smoothies, nuts, yogurt, finger sandwiches, kiwi fruit, cantaloupe, green salads, fruit juices (not sugary), etc.

Eat more foods that have high water content. This will help you stay hydrated in the heat and eat less. Foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables are examples. These types of foods help you to feel fuller (satiety) while eating fewer calories. For instance, grapes with the same caloric amount as raisins will provide more satiety and theoretically help you eat less the rest of the day.

Here are some other summer eating tips:

1. Eat small meals every 3-4 hours (starting with breakfast) to keep up your energy and to keep your metabolism humming along. When you skip meals, your body slows down its metabolism to conserve energy and store fat.

2. Avoid grazing or haphazzard eating. Do this by planning and packing your meals for the day. This way, you are more likely to stay with your meal plan. Otherwise, you may end up eating fast food or overeating.

3. Eat protein with every meal. Protein helps you feel fuller for a longer period of time, helps keep blood sugar levels from spiking and repairs your muscles after a tough workout.
