THE BARE TRUTH

It’s coming…Tuesday, June 21. Opps, how did that happen, right? And how did those extra pounds pile on over the winter? We overindulged and under-exercised. As we’ve been streaming, our bodies have been spreading. Not in places particularly attractive, especially considering how much we bare ourselves as the temperatures rise. Shorts. Short shorts. Short sleeves. Short dresses. Short skirts. Let’s not even talk about bathing suits. As the Colorado sun climbs in the eighties, it’s time to climb out of your sweats and take advantage of everything that makes Colorado summers so sensational: hiking, rock climbing mountain biking, horse-riding, golfing, fly fishing, waterskiing, rafting. You want to be ready for it all. So we’d like to help. Here are some weight loss tips. Some weight-loss truths. Some safe and sound secrets on how to lose weight fast.

1. PUT UP THE “SORRY, KITCHEN CLOSED” SIGN – Make dinner your last meal and avoid night munching.
2. DON’T BASH BREAKFAST – Skipping breakfast can cause you to gain weight by influencing your hunger hormones later in the day, making it harder to refrain from oversized portions or cravings for sugary and refined carbohydrates food.
3. UP YOUR H2O INTAKE – Water intake is a stellar strategy for weight loss. People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger, so you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really all you needed.
4. SUPER-SIZING LEADS TO SUPER SIZES – 46 oz of sugar-filled soda alone, has as many as half the calories you need in an entire day
5. EAT MINDFULLY – Eliminate distractions while you’re eating. If you’re watching TV or catching up on emails during a meal, you’re far less likely to recognize when you’re full.
6. PUMP UP THE PROTEIN – Protein is the ultimate fill-me-up food — it’s more satisfying than carbs or fats and keeps you feeling full for longer. It also helps preserve muscle mass and encourages fat burning.
7. MAKE FRIENDS WITH VEGGIES – Filling up on these nutrient-dense, high-fiber foods that also tend to be super low in calories and fat, you’re less likely to overdo it on less healthy options. 
8. SNACK SMART – Diet cookies. Diet candies. Diet ice cream. Even a taste of the real thing, is much more satisfying
9. SALSA ISN’T CONSIDERED SALAD WHEN IT COMES WITH BURRITOS BIGGER THAN YOUR HEAD – Need we say more?
10. MINIMIZE THE MARGARITAS. MAXIMIZE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS – Alcohol is high in calories. Some mixed drinks can contain as many calories as a meal, but without the nutrients. Second, you also may make poor food choices when you drink.
11. DITCH THE FAD DIETS – They’re not healthy. And they’re not sustainable. You know. You’ve probably tried a bunch. And where did that get you?
12. THE LESS YOU SLEEP, THE LESS YOU LOSE – When you’re sleep deprived, your body overproduces the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin but under-produces the hormone leptin, which tells you when you’re full. So during the day you feel hungrier and less satisfied after meals.
13. WEIGHING YOURSELF “NAKED” DOESN’T REALLY CHANGE THE NUMBERS – And taking your shoes and Fitbit off in the Doctor’s office before hopping on the scale won’t cut it either
14. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET THE BUTT YOU WANT BY SITTING ON IT – Even walking briskly 3-5 hours per week will work wonders toward helping you achieve your goals
15. GET COZY WITH YOUR HORMONES – Sometime you do everything right, and the weight still won’t come off. Imbalances in hormones like testosterone, estrogen, insulin and thyroid can all bring on unwanted weight gain, and make it harder to lose. So it’s important to know if, in fact, they’re out of whack.
