Hidden hazards
This year’s must-have look is the floaty smock. Easy to wear and super-cool in the heat, it can be worn as a dress or teamed with skinny leggings. You can relax into summer knowing that these lovely flowing shapes hide a multitude of lumps and bumps.
Get floaty, not flabby!
Or can you? Much as this comfortable style suits everyday wear, sometimes you might prefer to show off your sexy curves rather than hiding them under folds of billowing fabric. What’s more, with the holiday season upon us, you’ll want to look good at the beach or poolside!
Don’t wait until you try on your bikini to realise that your middle has expanded beyond recognition. Take some action now. Instead of reaching every day for leggings with an elasticated waist, ring the changes with skinny jeans or tailored trousers. They’ll feel tight if you eat too much, providing early warning of over-indulgence. Plus, knowing if they still fit is as good as stepping on the scales!
Tips for a slimmer summer
Take advantage of the warmer weather to replace heavy meals with healthy, low-calorie salads. Eat little and often, enjoying juicy summer fruits as snacks. And remember to take your time over meals, pausing often to check if you’re full.
Drinking lots of water is vital. It not only keeps you healthily hydrated in the warmer weather, it can also stop you over-eating. It’s common to mistake thirst for hunger, so before you tuck into the biscuits, try a cool glass of water. You might find your urge to snack goes right way.
If you do find that relaxed summer dressing has led you astray, help is at hand. Slim-Fast is the healthy way to control the amount of calories you consume, while still getting all the nutrients you need.
