If you want to lose weight by summer, it's still possible! Here I give you several simple weight loss suggestions that can help you lose weight for the summer if you implement them into your daily routine. That way you will be able to shape up your body to face summer with confidence in a matter of 3 to 4 weeks. Is is sometimes easier to lose weight during the summer due to the longer days which invite you to go outdoors and enjoy yourself.

How to lose weight over the summer?

• Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day – Water plays very important part in our bodily functions. Body fat and bones account for about 20% of water each, lean muscle tissues are 75% water and over 80% of our blood is water. Water helps kidneys to remove toxins, that way allowing liver to metabolise more fat. Water also works as a natural appetite suppressant
• Drink less alcohol or remove it completely – If you are serious about losing weight, then put alcohol on your highly restricted list. Alcohol just helps your body to store fat by slowing down your metabolism.
• Avoid desserts, ice-creams and such – These are a big no-no if you want to lose weight. These things are full of saturated fats and sugar, and they are all main culprits that cause excess weight.
• Include low fat milk products like yogurt, skimmed milk, cottage cheese in your diet – These all contain "good proteins" that will help you suppress cravings for foods. They are essential in building your muscles.
• Include vegetables, beans, whole grains and fruits in your diet – They contain "good carbohydrates" which are moderate on calories and fats. They are digested slowly by the body; therefore they will help you suppress your hunger and feel full for longer.
• Include Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet – These kinds of acids increase metabolism and energy levels of your body. You should eat fish such as Mackerel, Salmon, Sardines and Herrings. They are all rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, and those acids are proven to prevent blood clothing, regulate blood pressure and lower risks of heart failure. Therefore they are very helpful in summer weight loss as well.
• Eat 4, 5 or 6 smaller meal portions – Instead of having normal 3 meals a day, go for 4, 5 or even 6 smaller meals a day. Smaller meals at shorter intervals will help your metabolism and burn more fat. It's also good for weight loss.
• Eat high-fiber food – Fiber food is more filling and it will suppress your hunger. High fiber food takes more time to be digested and when it passes through your body it will attach to some fats and proteins in your food, therefore it will keep them from being digested. Some examples of high fiber foods are: whole grains, brown rice, figs, apples, broccoli, peas, lentils, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts etc.
• Use proper spices in your diet – Spices like ginger, mustard, pepper, cinnamon, bay leaf etc all decrease sugar cravings and are helpful in losing weight.
• Avoid late night meals – You shouldn't eat anything 2 to 3 hours before going to bed. Allow some time for food to be digested before you go to bed.
• Use a dietary supplement – If necessary, you should use some effective weight loss supplement. It should be all-natural and without any side effects. Using a healthy weight loss supplement can drastically speed up your summer weight loss process, and you want to be fit for the summer, right? So if everything else fails, don't be afraid to use a diet pill.
