Barbecues represent one of the biggest threats to your line
In spring it is easier to lose weight, since the new season encourages us to eat more fruit and vegetables and the first opportunity in months appears to exercise outdoors without fear of catching a cold. However, the extra pounds can come as easily as weight loss if we are not careful. Here we give you three important tips not to gain weight in spring.
Having a drink on a terrace after work can inject hundreds of calories into the body that, in the short term, can be transformed into an unwanted accumulation of fat in the belly. To avoid it, skip carbonated sodas, smoothies and artificial juices and limit tapas to once a week. The times you go out during the week, bet on flavored waters and occasionally on a low-calorie cocktail. If you eat something, try to make it count as a snack or dinner to avoid the extra weight caused by snacking between meals.
Enjoy seasonal vegetables without adding extra calories. Avoid adding cheese or sauces to the asparagus and other vegetables that arrive at the markets with the new season. Steam or grill them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Anything else we put on them will only spoil an excellent opportunity to fill ourselves up for very few calories.
Good weather invites you to have barbecues at home with high-fat foods like hamburgers and hot dogs as the main guests. In order not to gain weight in spring, it is essential that you change these foods for fresh vegetables, white meat and fish. Limit the number of beers to one and have some fruit for dessert to round out a healthy barbecue.
