About This Article
If you want to feel more confident in a bikini, focus on eating a healthier diet and exercising regularly. Try to cut down on processed food and simple sugars, like potato chips, candy, cookies, and soda, so you're not eating a lot of high-calorie foods that aren't very nutritious. Aim to get most of your calories from healthy carbs and proteins, which will fill you up more easily and limit your fat intake. For example, eat plenty of chicken, fish, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and brown rice. In addition to diet, aim to get 15-20 minutes of exercise a day on average. Focus on exercises that target your abs, arms, and legs, such as push-ups, crunches, and squats. If you get bored easily, find an exercise buddy or join a sports team to keep you engaged. For more tips, including how to do interval training to burn calories and fat quickly, read on!
