Welcome to Week 9 of the MFRW 52-week challenge. The topic is "Diet before summer? How seriously?" The prompt brought up images of tanned, lithe bodies on the beach in bikinis or in leotards exercising at the gym. Get in shape before summer, they entice. Be ready for bikini season.
I have never been a bikini person, beach bunny (or sand lizard in some areas) so the concept of a summer diet for weight loss was never in the plan. Summer diet constituted taking advantage of the seasons fruits and vegetables.
I see no reason to start a diet just because the calendar flipped to a certain date? If you already are on heart-conscious, low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar, low carbohydrate diets, who needs another one.
Not me.

So true Helen. My doctor wants me to cut out most carbs and just stick to healthy ones found in veggies and whole grains. It is harder than I thought lOL
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Helen. With the lower prices of fruits and veggies in the summer, I certainly take advantage. My doctor suggested berries over most other fruit for lower sugar. Wow, are they expensive in the winter.
