Speaking of shedding the extra kilos this summer to get into shape, Melissa wrote, 'Do you have anxiety thinking about yet another summer you'll be uncomfortable in tank tops, short and swimsuits? I get this because this plagues so many women this time of year...but it doesn't have to! In a matter of weeks, you can be in a completely different spot.'
It will help you stay full longer, squash your cravings and increase your metabolism! Aim for .8-1 gram of protein per lb. of goal body weight.
No slashing calories to 1200. You will give up because you won't be able to adhere to that. Start with a 300-400 calorie deficit and see how your body responds.
Only counting calories leaves a lot of room for error due to inaccuracy in food label reporting. Also, what your food is made up of matters for fat loss and how you feel. Macros are the key.
7500-10K steps a day will help you burn an extra 300+ calories! Find your daily average and increase by 1500 to start.
More than 7 hours of sleep and half of your weight (in lbs) in oz of water is mandatory for weight loss.
Summer is upon us. The pools just opened. Summer is the best time to start. More daylight, less hustle and perfect weather. If you are serious about your goals, stop putting it off until the right time.

Who is Clayton Kershaw's wife Ellen? A look at their journey from teenage romance to marriage
Image Source: claytonkershaw/Instagram When Clayton Kershaw first glimpsed Ellen Melson in a Dallas high school hallway, the seeds of a long-lasting love story took root. Nearly 15 years married now, their story is one of teenage love, lasting marriage, and boom, boom, boom — babies galore, and leading activism around the world. Ellen is making a significant bond with Clayton on and off the field, building a life together based on faith, service, and family. The teenage romance of Clayton Kershaw and Ellen Melson Ellen Melson met Clayton Kershaw as a freshman at Highland Park High School in University Park, Texas, around the time she was 15 and he was 14. In an interview with Satanella, Ellen once called Clayton 'the class clown' and recalled him finally getting up the nerve to ask her out during lunch in the school cafeteria. That connection solidified through the years, including time spent apart, as Clayton was drafted by the Dodgers in 2006 and Ellen was enrolled at Texas A&M University. And they still stood by one another despite how far they were from each other. The couple then wed at Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas and celebrated their union with a Dodger-themed reception following at Royal Oaks Country Club. The two had been together for seven years before tying the knot on December 4, 2010. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Поза во сне может многое рассказать о вашем характере!

Doctor shares 5 Indian foods that help lower bad cholesterol naturally: ‘Heart health begins in kitchen'
Struggling with high cholesterol and looking for natural ways to manage it? Instead of relying solely on medications, turning to your kitchen might be a smart first step. In his May 29 Instagram post, Dr Sumit Kapadia, vascular surgeon and varicose vein specialist, shares five everyday Indian foods that can help lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while supporting overall heart health. (Also read: Cardiologist shares how to protect your heart at every age: Smart habits to build in your 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond ) "I often remind my patients: heart health begins in the kitchen. Cholesterol buildup can silently damage your arteries until it's too late. But the good news? Your everyday Indian diet has powerful tools to fight LDL cholesterol naturally," Dr Sumit wrote in the caption. Here are 5 Indian foods Dr Sumit recommends to help protect your heart: A post shared by Dr Sumit Kapadia (@drsumitkapadia) Packed with soluble fibre, methi helps bind cholesterol in the gut and blocks its absorption. For best results, soak the seeds overnight and consume them in the morning. Surprisingly, coconut can be heart-friendly when used mindfully. Whether as oil or grated, it may help raise good cholesterol (HDL), which in turn helps balance out LDL. This underrated superfood is rich in mucilage, a gel-like substance that traps cholesterol and helps flush it out of the body naturally. These fruits are high in pectin and antioxidants, supporting liver function and helping to lower cholesterol over time. Pick whichever is local and in season. A staple in Indian kitchens, garlic is known to lower total cholesterol and blood pressure. Just 1–2 raw cloves a day can have powerful effects. Tip: Want to lower your LDL without giving up your favourite cultural foods? Start with small changes, be consistent, and let food be your first medicine.
