You know what that means-swimming suit season! Are you prepared? If you’re anything like me, then you’re probably not. You’ve most likely still got a few of your winter insulation pounds huddled somewhere around your middle. Don’t worry, though. It’s not too late to lose a couple pounds before hitting the swimming pool. This is where I found the article: Get your body ready for summer

The faster you eat, the higher your BMI

Eating fast makes it easier to overeat. This is because your body doesn’t have time to realize it is full. An article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association says researchers in New Zealand “looked at the relationship 2,500 women had between their self-reported speeds of eating and their body mass indexes.” They found the faster the women ate, the higher their BMIs were. If you need to keep from overeating, turn off the Television. Distractions will keep you from realizing how much you’re eating.

Eating more often

Just eating three meals a day is not necessarily good for you. Actually, Lauren Antonucci, M.S., owner of Nutrition Energy in New York City says, “eating more often keeps your metabolism humming, and prevents you from getting super hungry.” Just make sure you are not eating a lot of chips or cookies. Stick to vegetables and fruit for your snacks.

Be cautious with reward calories

Working out is good; make sure you do not use your great workout as an excuse to eat junk food. Before you exercise, set a limit on your reward calories. Nutrition expert Nisevich Bede suggests, “A secure number is 200 reward calories, and if you went for a really, really long workout, 400 calories.” Try getting these calories from places like low-fat ice cream, a single serving of chips, or a bit of dark chocolate.
