The kilos are increasing, like the years, and it is usually at the beginning of the year when we begin to be aware that Christmas excesses are rounding our body more than necessary. However, coats and winter dark clothes perfectly hide those extra pounds. It is in spring, when we begin to take off clothes, when we realize that we need to get in shape for summer and its beach days. And that’s when the bikini operation begins.
Operation Bikini
Thinking about the walks by the sea and the tiny bikinis that we want to wear, we are able to make any effort, sometimes in the form of dangerous miracle diets, sometimes simply by putting more care in our diet, which is usually the most effective and healthy method. In any case, the effort is made and we deprive ourselves of eating the most harmful foods for our figure, those with which we enjoy the most. We increase the amount of fruits and vegetables and we even dare with some sport. And by the time summer comes, we’re ready for the bikinis, tops and miniskirts you need.
However, once we are on vacation, we forget all the effort made, all the resolutions of eating healthy and not overdoing it with fats and alcohol, and we throw ourselves fully into the fritanga tapas of the beach bar. And we accompany them with abundant soft drinks, which for something is very hot. We break with schedules and healthy foods and let ourselves be carried away by the relaxation of customs. This is how at the end of the holidays we can find ourselves with a few extra kilos, some studies say that up to 5 kilos on average are those that we gain in summer.
How to maintain the bikini operation
So that this does not happen and we can avoid the risks of frequent variations in weight, we should be aware that what we really need is to lead a healthy life throughout the year. It is not about repressing any gastronomic desire that goes beyond the advisable, but about maintaining a constant attitude of healthy habits. Betting on a healthy and balanced diet where fruits, vegetables and fish abound, eliminating very fatty foods, reducing alcohol consumption and accompanying everything with the usual practice of moderate physical exercise, is the key to maintaining the ideal weight throughout the year.
And there are no excuses for not continuing our eating habits on vacation. Being away from home has its limitations in terms of preparing meals, but any restaurant offers you a wide variety of foods where only you have the decision to choose the one that suits you. It banishes the myth of associating summer with precooked food and ice cream, because gazpacho and salads are the most refreshing option.
