1. Eat fruits and veggies in season.The next time you need a snack try a fat busting, fibrous snack mixture. Fruits and vegetables provide important vitamins, minerals and fiber. If you go on a vacation eat foods that are in season. Select local produce that you know you love.

2. Pack your foods.Preparing your own food and bringing it for dinner is an easy way to control portion sizes. If you go on a trip try packing foods in portioned baggies. You can get a small container of sorts or you can buy portioned packages. Either way will work.

3. Reserve a cooler.Racontevant toburn more fat, and that is what you want right? Use a cooler to keep your beverage cold and also keep your food cold and fresh. If you are bringing a sandwich bring it in a bloated bag. You can also use astrate bag so it doesn’t cool down too much and retain its vitamin and mineral content.

4. Watch eating portions.Have a snack and eat slowly. You will take in tons of calories this way. This is a calorie restriction you will need to practice every day of your life. At restaurants only get the smallest portion on your plate. If you go to buffets reserve a lunch plate and portion your dinner for that plate only. It may look like more food but that is because we are conditioned to consume more. A good rule of thumb is never eat until you are stuffed and full. Just until you are satisfied.

5. Select the foods that are a part of your daily intake.Always select the foods that are in season. If you select the local produce and meats and observe the portion sizes of your items, you’ll enjoy your summertime more. It is easy to control your portions and select appropriate foods. Just like home stocking, fish, and agricultural products are an oversupply and our bodies need just the amount of fuel we consume.

6. Emotional eating and stress eating.To control the consumption of foods that we consume during times of distress, or when we fall victim to emotional eating, during times where we feel stressed or depressed, we are better off to remove those triggers from our lives. At the root of the problem is the mental attitude that we have toward that food. If we use that power and say to ourselves, “I can have that sweet, salty, or fatty food when I’m stressed or depressed.” That food piece of cake, or that bag of chips, or that bacon double cheeseburger that we consume at lunch will not help our body. At the root of the problem is the mental attitude that we have toward that food. If we keep it in the refrigerator or cupboard we will eat it when we feel a certain way. It is important for us to have a positive outlook towards life. We have to take control of the foods that are meaningful to us and keep those serving shapes at our places. Then we will be able to enjoy our summer more.

How your thoughts and attitudes about your body influence your fitness goals depends directly on your success and failure in achieving fitness goals. Enjoy your food. Learn and manage your portions, create healthy eating habits for yourself, and develop positive thinking habits in your life to get you to a happier, healthier, and more attractive you.
