Holidays, sunshine, cocktails, doughnuts, restaurant dinners… Summer can quickly turn into a real disaster for your figure if you’re not paying at least a little attention! So to make sure you come back from your break tanned and rested — without the extra pounds — here are our top tips.
Lighten up your aperitivo
If there’s one trap to avoid on holiday, it’s the daily aperitivo — endless, indulgent and completely unbalanced! If every evening you go for the mojito-and-nibbles combo, your scales will soon show a few extra kilos and your skin a few unwanted dimples. To avoid this while still making the most of your holiday evenings, shake up your food habits! We’ve got healthy aperitivo recipes right here and some slimming drink ideas over there.
Watch what you eat out
Holidays are often the perfect excuse to eat out constantly: fast food, restaurants, snack bars… If you don’t want to gain weight or make cellulite worse, it’s essential to keep your meals as balanced as possible. If you fancy a burger and fries at lunch, go for it — but opt for a fresh salad in the evening. Ideally, try to choose the healthiest option when eating out: grilled fish, vegetables, composed salads, fruit salad, flan, sorbet… It’s entirely possible to eat well, even away from home.
Get active on the beach
If you’re heading to the seaside, why not take the opportunity to try out some new sports ? It’s the perfect chance to enjoy the slimming and anti-cellulite benefits of water sports. Stand-up paddleboarding, aqua jogging, water hiking… The choice is yours!
Use targeted treatments
To avoid gaining weight on holiday, it’s important to keep fighting fat and taking care of your body. And the best way to do that is with targeted slimming treatments! With their carefully selected active ingredients known for their slimming properties, they’ll give you a great helping hand in keeping your figure in check.
Make the most of fresh, seasonal produce
When it comes to food, go natural, fresh and light! Nothing beats seasonal fruit and vegetables at every meal to keep the weight off. Cucumber, peppers, lemon, mango, watermelon, melon, tomatoes… These are your best allies for staying in shape — and, incidentally, for balancing out that chocolate waffle with extra whipped cream at snack time!
Always carry a water bottle
Summer or winter, never forget to stay well hydrated. It’s an essential habit for avoiding weight gain, aiding digestion, flushing out toxins and keeping your energy up. To make sure you drink enough every day, keep a bottle with you at all times. And if you tend to forget, set hourly reminders on your phone to prompt you to hydrate. You’ll see — within a few days, it’ll become second nature.
Actually enjoy your holiday!
Our final tip for not gaining weight on holiday is, quite simply, to enjoy it! Walk, cycle, explore the city on rollerblades, go pedalo-ing, play beach volleyball, take a swim… In short, move as much as you can! But don’t let the scales become an obsession — one ice cream won’t ruin your figure, and a portion of chips won’t suddenly summon an army of dimples.
Have a wonderful summer, ladies!
