It’s merely the need for exercise and discipline in what you eat that can get your body back into shape. There is no need to purchase any diet plan, simply make one for yourself and follow it sincerely.

Here are a few tips for a healthy summer plan: Make it quick and easy. Fill your pantry and refrigerator with organically cultivated fresh fruits and vegetables. Make it a fun time to explore some unique cuisines simply made with seasonal flavours.  Planning what you eat is necessary to keep a check on what is nutritious and what needs to be taken in more quantities so that you weigh less on that weighing scale. You want to shed that extra flab on your waist and it is easier to do so in summers.
Eat Right: The plan that you make has to include more proteins and fewer carbohydrates. What you eat is important and keeping it lighter is necessary for your body. Your metabolism has to improve and that’s possible if you include multiple meals. Take smaller but more meals through the day. Enjoy a variety of your favorite dishes made wisely to include protein rich and fibrous food. You can have snacks or meals often for your metabolism to improve.

Fruits like blueberries, strawberries; tart berries etc are a rich source of proteins, vitamins and antioxidants. These are highly fibrous fruits and help improve your immune system, maintain a youthful brain and improve memory and learning abilities. You can make these fruits into interesting dishes by adding fat free yogurt or adding them to salads to have a rich colour and taste.

Research shows that strawberries are useful in keeping blood sugar levels under control and thus help fight diabetes. They are even helpful in providing your body vitamin C and minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium. You can add them and decorate a variety of smoothies, cereals and granola with it. Adding fresh parsley can give your favourite dishes an added flavour. They are a good source of beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, and lutein, which are necessary for a healthy vision.
