Mix in some low sodium ow sugar juice and make some ices. then MAKE YOURSELF LUNCH a sandwhich with salad and a light snack on the side. Get out of the house if you can.
Reply from Juliette, Age 17 - 06/29/10 - IP#: 99.237.131.xxx Hey, look at it this way. The hotter the air around you, the more you swaet, the easier you lose weight. You can literally ust sit there and be burning quite a few calories. SO! To avoid reversing taht process, do NOT over-eat. And too much ice cream is a no-no. Not only cause too much is fattening, but more importantly, because most have other ingredients taht aren't all that healthy, such as synthesized gum and colour additives, and flavour additives. I know it's real hot. Try to look towards otehr alternatives. Freeze yogourt. Still really good, can get different flavours and very healthy. Or, make a banana or strawberry or fruit smoothie, and add ice. Or just freeze the entire thing as a makeshift freezie. Another alternative is plain, ice cold water. G'Luck! Dno't give up..;
