For those of you who are trying to get that bikini body this year, the “Today Show” nutrition expert, Joy Bauer, offers seven spring diet tips.
Ditch liquid calories. Between coffee drinks, sodas, and super sugary fruit juices, you may be consuming thousands more calories than you realize. Joy suggests that you stick with water, but make it more interesting by tossing in slices of cucumber, lemon, or oranges.
Turn off the TV and head outdoors. Couch potatoes not only NOT burn calories, but consume them as well while they’re just sitting there not paying attention to how many cookies they just ate. Go outside and sweep the streets or something. LOL.
Start dinner with a vegetable first course. Joy recommends starting with a salad or a non-creamy, broth-based vegetable soup because the fiber and water content will expand in your belly and you’ll be less likely to overeat when you get to the main meal.
Love your grill. Grilling makes a cook out of anyone. There’s nothing easier than throwing fish and veggies on the fire.
Strike starchy carbs a few nights a week. Skipping the starchy carbs like pasta, bread, and grains altogether, just a few nights a week, will force you to eat lean protein and vegetables instead. Sure it will.
Close the kitchen after dinner. When you are finished with dinner, put closure on your meal by drinking some herbal tea and flossing/brushing your teeth. Yeah right, you gotta have dessert!
Eliminate the extras. If you can cut out the “in between” eating, it will pay off.
