Dieting Articles: Summer Weight Loss
July Through September

Written by Sky Taylor, Diet Bites

Have You Started You Diet Plan?

Oh my - can you believe that we are already mid-way through the year? If you haven't started your weight loss plan, then we encourage you to do such - and there are so many healthy foods at the market during the summer season that can assist.

Soon, the farmers will be rolling out the pumpkins and the autumn squash and very shortly following will be the beginning of the winter holidays.

Easier to Lose Weight Now Rather Than During the Holidays

If you don't make a start to drop those unhealthy pounds now - then later might not be the best time as there are too many days that contain delicious holiday treats and parties.

While the weather is quite warm - and in the South feels like it's blowing in from Hades, you must approach any type of outdoor activity that you do with great wisdom.

The body can overheat quite quickly amid seventy to eighty degree weather and when we're dealing with eighties, nineties, one-hundreds and one-hundred and ten plus weather in some areas, don't be a Diet Dummy and end up in the Emergency Room just because you felt like you needed to burn a few calories.

Wait until the sun starts to drift off in the late evening - or if you're a morning person, then rise and shine and get your healthy dose in before Mister Sun is shining in his full, heated glory.

While the weather is steamy, pile your meal plate with cool food selections.

Choose Healthy Foods for Healthy Weight Loss

Yes, lettuce and tomato salads are all the rage for dieters and are quite popular on the meal plate amid hot weather - but live a little and add a few healthy foods to the mix.

If you have never tried chickpeas in your summer salad - please do. Simply open the can, drain and add to your salad. Other healthy foods to add include chopped nuts, hulled roasted seeds and dried fruits.

As for dessert, while that double fudge chocolate cake studded with chocolate buttercream frosting looks awesome, it's not awesome for your weight loss plan.

What you need is a nice fat bowl of green or purple grapes, or a few slices apricots, or a sun-ripened banana instead. You know you'll love these foods just as much as you would have that double fudge wonder. Well, okay - maybe you won't but at least you can imagine that you do, right? That's the spirit!

As to those big old orange things that we mentioned that will soon be rolling into the market - we have some big boys on hand for summer that are certainly worth checking out. Watermelons - red meat and yellow meat and so many varieties, cantaloupes and honeydew melons are ripe for the picking and so low in dietary fat and caloric values that you'll cry with joy.
