subject: Lose Those Last Ten Pounds - 3 Ways To Get Bikini-ready! [print this page] Have been you been sticking to your diet and beating yourself at the gym and still can't seem to lose those last ten pounds? If you've hit a plateau, then maybe your body has gotten used to the routine and it's time to switch it up. Here are three ways to get your body bikini-ready.
1. No More Sugary Drinks!
Soda is full of acid and sugar that provides practically no nutrition for your body. Too much sugar can cause your body to store fat especially in your stomach. Remember that every time you drink a soda, it take 4 glasses of water to flush out all the sugar and calories that come with it.
It is so much better to just drink pure water. Water has no sugar and it contains no calories. Tea and lemonade can also speed up your dream of losing the last ten pounds of weight while giving a boost to your metabolism.
Just be sure to swap out the sugar you put in it with honey. Don't fall for the Vitamin Waters, Gatorade, or any other sugary sport drinks. Water trumps all of these!
2. Keep Your Workout Routines Fresh!
If you're serious about losing your last ten pounds, then you need to be doing at least 20 minutes of cardio a day. If you're not sweating, then you're not working hard enough. It may be time to switch to a more advanced workout routine or incorporate several different routines at once.
Switching your routines will really kick your metabolism into gear. Do aerobics once a day and jogging the next. Your body won't know what's coming. Your body will start to burn those extra pounds more rapidly. Combine this with a nutritious diet and you're guaranteed to get the body you've always wanted.
3. Flush Out Your System!
Your body could be holding onto harmful toxins right now without you even knowing it. Such toxins can cause your body to store fat and stump your weight loss goals. On top of that, if you're not having regular bowl movements every day, then you could be carrying around 9 pounds of unwanted waste in your body.
How do you get rid of this? Drink plenty of water daily. Eat foods that contain antioxidants which help rid your body of toxins. Make sure that you're eating foods that are high in fiber.
This will make sure that you have a healthy digestive system, help you to better digest the food in quicker amount of time, and lower the chances of the food turning into fat thus helping you to lose the last ten pounds of weight faster than you ever thought!
