Easy Tips to a Slim Body

Have an event coming up? Need to shed a few pounds? Here are some easy tips from celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson.

• Cut out dairy- Dairy is harder for your body to digest.
• Cut out processed food- try and eat only organic
• Eat fruit every morning- not only are these healthy but they keep you hydrated
• Eat lean protein- white fish, turkey, chicken breast...
• Don't add saturated oils or dressings to your salad- try lemon juice or virgin olive oil
• Limit your carb intake- one cup of brown rice daily is ok
• Avoid sweets- however, if you're craving it you can have dark chocolate
• Avoid salty foods- having extra salt in your diet will lead to water retention
• Drink lots of water and green tea
  
• Add lemon to your water

Soft and Silky Skin

The first step to keeping your skin extremely soft is to use an exfoliating body scrub in the shower. There are so many on the market. Some of my favourites are Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish, Bliss Lemon and Sage Body Scrub, Kiehls Ultra Moisturzing Buffing Cream With Scrub Particles. They will get rid of dead skin, leave your skin uber soft, and leave it ready for moisturiser or bronzer.

The next step is to moisturise!!! Very important! Your skin gets dehydrated very fast so its important to lather up. The skin on your body is different than on your face. While we wouldn't puts tons of moisturiser on our face, we would on our body. If you have some acne on your body, perhaps try a moisturiser that is medicated. Some good lines for this are Kiehls, Dermalogica, and of course Proactiv which will give you the fastest results. My favourite moisturisers are Kiehls Creme De Corps (The king of moisturisers!), Bliss Naked Body Butter, Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream, and Fresh Lychee Sugar Body Lotion. If you find that any of these are to thick, each line makes variations of these creams that are lighter. So try switch it up. Maybe use the thicker one before bed and the lighter in the morning. See what works for you, but remember to moisturise every day and your skin will be left feeling soft and silky!
