With each week that passes, it seems that Summer is getting closer and closer. Especially here at the BB headquarters in sunny, Southern California. But wherever you are- Summer will be here sooner than you think.
Here are our 5 slimming secrets to help shed those last few pounds.
Added sugars are not necessary in the diet. Not only will they leave you feeling sluggish, slow down your metabolism, and trick your brain into hyperactive hunger mode, they definitely contribute to packing on those pounds. Our secret for this tip is to read your labels! (Best case scenario is to make your meals and snacks at home). If you are forced to eat out or on-the-go a lot, make sure you know what you're putting into your body. You get out what you put in.
While picking up an old classic novel is good for your brain health, it probably won't help you slim down. Do some research on what healthy food choices are and adjust your diet. Vegetables, fruits, and whole foods don't have to be boring when you put some time into the preparation. Some of our secret pairings are grapefruit and green tea (or beauty sleep tea at night), cucumbers and hummus, and chia seed pudding...to name a few!

You've heard it before...the extra mile is never crowded. If you want to slim down, figure out what you like to do to be active and put 100% of your efforts into this. Our secret for succeeding here is to grab a workout babe to keep you accountable, grab your pup and hit the trails, or go where the scenery is beautiful. The inside of a gym may not be for you, and that's ok!
While this seems basic, hydration is key. If you can't get yourself to drink enough plain water throughout the day, spruce it up. Add some lemon or lime juice, drink more decaffeinated tea, try mineral water, whatever you need to do! Sometimes we will reach for unnecessary snacks out of thirst. Proper hydration also flushes out the body, helping to keep you glowing from the inside out.
Our last secret is that there isn't a one-size-fits-all for slimming down. You have to do what works for your mind and body. Get in the right mindset, make a plan, set goals, and grab your best babes and let's get it done!
