Low Calorie

Best Summer Weight Loss Foods

Ok, so you didnтЂ™t quite achieve your weight loss goals before swimsuit season hit, but who says itтЂ™s too late to keep going? This summer youтЂ™ll be looking sexy in your bikini before you know it. The key to losing weight is to consume less calories than you burn. ItтЂ™s a simple concept, yet many people have a hard time achieving. The following food suggestions will help you in your quest to cut back, eat healthy, and lose weight. (If you need a little extra push try a weight loss supplement like Akavar to give you the motivation to stick to your diet) *Learn to love chilled soups. Chilled soups like gazpacho or chilled cucumber avocado soup are not only extremely healthy, but quite refreshing too. *Watermelon is natureтЂ™s candy. You canтЂ™t go wrong biting into cold, juicy watermelon. Cut up the melon and keep it in your refrigerator for those moments where youтЂ™re craving something sweet. Eat as much as you want- more than half of the watermelon is water. *Grilled vegetables тЂ“ another one of natureтЂ™s candies. You canтЂ™t beat fresh vegetables on the grill when it comes to summer. Not only do you not have to heat up your kitchen, but grilling vegetables keeps the juices in and gives the vegetables a succulent flavor. Try tossing the vegetables in olive oil, salt and pepper before throwing them on the grill. Delicious. *Repeat after me, salads make great meals. So, you may have to convince the men in your household that itтЂ™s ok to embrace a savory salad as an entire meal. But not only is it quick, you can put just about anything in a salad (fruits, vegetables, meat), throw in some nuts and cheese, top it with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette and there you have itтЂ¦ dinner! *Low calorie/No calorie drinks refresh your thirst without bringing on the extra calories. Smoothies, sweetened specialty coffee drinks, sweetened teas and sodas can be deceiving as they go down so easily, but tend to be accompanied by mega calories. Be aware of what youтЂ™re consuming to quench your thirst and adjust accordinglyтЂ¦ my advice, IтЂ™d rather save the calories for a bowl of ice cream. *Fruit based desserts can be just as good as a hot fudge sundae. To satisfy your sweet tooth this summer try to steer away from desserts loaded with sugar and let natureтЂ™s candy do the satisfying. Some ideas for great low-calorie desserts include Grilled banana sundaes made with low-fat ice cream, grilled pineapple and peaches, frozen cherries and grapes, and my favorite тЂ“ a chocolate covered frozen banana.
