Summer Time Eating Strategies
The hot days of summer can really have an effect on hunger patterns. Heat
naturally suppresses your appetite - so go with the flow. Here are a few ways to
eat healthier this summer.
1. Think Of Water As Your Best Friend. During the summer time, your body
uses more water to maintain its normal temperature. Drink water all day long.
And here's another reason to keep well hydrated. According to the Journal of the
American Dietetic Association, many women suffer from chronic mild dehydration
in the summer, which can result in diminished mental and physical performance
and even an increased risk of certain cancers.
2. Keep Meal Preparation Simple. Hunger often strikes later in the
evening, when the temperature drops. The last thing you need late in the evening
is a heavy meal. Be prepared with simple snacks. Reserve the heavier meal for
lunchtime.
3. Fill Up On Fiber. One of the best ways to lose weight without feeling
deprived is to eat lots of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.
4. Use The Heat In Your Favor. Heat suppresses your appetite. Forget
about three major meals. Try grazing instead. Eat five or six little meals
throughout the day, which will keep the furnace of your metabolism burning.
