7 ways to easy summer weight loss

7 ways to easy summer weight loss
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

You don't have to fear summer dieting, it's actually a lot easier than you think.

Here are our seven reasons that slimming in the sun is a piece of (low-fat) cake!

1. Exchanging hot drinks

With warmer weather, coffee, tea and hot chocolate drinks are far less appealing. So long as you make sure you swap your cafe latte for a glass of water, you can really reduce your calorie intake.

For example, a tall latte from Starbucks has 176 calories and a signature hot chocolate with whipped cream as much as 418. If you do fancy a brew, a cup of tea without milk has no calorific value at all.

2. Eat seasonal

Summer brings with it all the delicious, seasonal food and veg we love so much. Berries, Mediterranean vegetables, tomatoes, salads... which is great news for the diet, as fruit and veg are low in fat.

Prices come down in the supermarket so eating healthily is better for your pocket as well. Check out our seasonal food calendar to see what's good to eat right now.
