Shape Up for Summer and Wedding Season!
Start: Your 90-day Fitness Plan
Wish you could fit into your dress or tuxedo again? Want to look buff and feel cute at all those summer parties? There are lots of ways to diet or exercise with programs designed especially for brides and grooms. Just keep in mind, it's best to start any fitness training at least six weeks before the big day. Wedding workouts and meal-delivery plans for ladies and exercise DVDs and manly meals for grooms are smart recommendations that will put you on the fast track to summer sexiness in under 90 days.
Eat: Fiterati Salad
Will the diet secrets of a fitness model work for you? Try my no-cook, phytonutrient-rich salad as a main course or side dish with grilled scallops, chicken, salmon or flank steak. I have four weeks to lean out for another fitness infomercial filmed in HD, so I have to cut back on bread, pasta and rice. But eaten at lunch and dinner, this salad satisfies my hunger, aids digestive health, reduces unhealthy cholesterol and helps me to meet daily nutritional requirements - and will get you shredded fast! As an added bonus, these raw ingredients are hardy and stay fresh all week when refrigerated in a glass-covered dish. Vegetables are the virtuous part of a salad, but dressings can be sinful adding an extra 500 calories. So here's another slimming secret: spritzers. Using the same principle as cooking sprays to reduce fat intake, salad spritzers pack tons of flavour with a fraction of the fat; there's just 10 calories in 10 squirts!
Ingredients:
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Sugar snap peas
• Celery
• Yellow zucchini
• White mushrooms
• Baby carrots
