Get a summer bikini body || Healthy diet tips

Me in a greek beach swimming

When spring comes, it's that time of the year when girls start freaking out about summer: we get worried about those winter/christmas/easter weight we put on and how we will look at the beach. But don't worry, i am here to help you get that bikini body you always dream of. 

First of all, you don't need to count calories one by one, but you need to be careful with some foods that are very high in calories: chips, pizzas, cakes and white bread. Try to consume the majority of calories before 3-4pm, so you can keep your dinner lighter. Instead of junk food, eat foods high in protein and fiber and vitamins: vegetables, fruits, black beans, fish, brown rice, oats etc. It depends on whether you are vegan or not, for you to find the perfect plan for your body to lose weight but also stay healthy without losing the important nutrition it needs.

Do not let those juices trick you: the majority of the juice that you buy in super markets they are most likely to contain a big load of sugar and fats. A better and easier way to drink something tasty full of energy that can fill your stomach too but also be healthy, is to make your own juice: mix up your favorite fruits in a blender and have your own homemade healthy juice every day. It's even better to eat the fruit than drink it. When you cut a fruit and then blend it, it is possible that it can lose some of its vitamins. Of course, it's still a healthy option, but if you can have the fruit itself, why not? Also, mixing many fruits to create your own juice or smoothie, can make you lose control of the amount of fruits you consume: people tend to put in the blender twice the amount of fruits of what they would consume if they just ate the fruits. So, eating the fruit will give you the best vitamins and it will make you feel full instantly.

Water, water, water! I know, you hear it every day, but have you really paid attention to that? Even keeping the same eating habits and just increase your daily water intake will make a huge difference in your weight loss journey, but also to the health of your body and skins in general. Drink a big glass of water the minute you wake up and, believe me, your body will thank you later. Ditch all the sodas and carbonated drinks that can make you feel bloated, and trade it with a good green tea. Tea helps body to burn fat as fuel and gives you energy together with the antioxidants that are good for body's health. 

My new sports equipment

Exercise is not gonna help if you do not follow a healthy diet and lifestyle, but it is an important factor that can help you lose weight and keep your body fit. I know that many of you may be bored and uninspired to work out, i feel you. You don't need to hit the gym. You can go for walking or jogging instead to the nearest park now that the weather starts to become warmer: it will save you money and it's a lot more entertaining and healthy to go for a walk in nature breathing the fresh air, than inside of a building filled with everyone's sweat and bad breath. If you still find it boring, you can choose something that you like and it will make you get that but of the bed and move: you can try dancing, alone home or take some lessons, swimming and many more hobbies.

Last but surely not list, inspiration is for me the most important thing. Look for fitness photos, your favorite tumblr girls with swimsuits, instagram profiles that inspire you to get the bikini body you always wanted and fitness apps that can get you moving and help you count your work out routines, your water intake etc. Something i also find helpful, is shopping sporty clothes: by buying a really nice sports bra and cute leggings you will want to wear them instantly and start exercising.

But remember, starving yourself is not a solution. It's not healthy for your body, your skin, your hair and nails, and in the end of the day you won't look the way you want: you won't be fit and healthy and it won't last long. So be the best version of you because if you don't do it now, then when? ♥♥♥
