Healthy Vacations in Miami, Miami Summer Diet tips

Ready for the beach this summer? For those of you like me, how constantly battle with extra pounds during the summer season in Miami, or you are planning to enjoy great Miami vacations but don’t want to gain those extra pound during your stay. This article pretends to alert you from seven sin enemies of your diet and also open your to a better Miami Vacation.

Don’t let yourself deceive with some products self promote like “healthful”, which are in fact filled with empty calories. The quantity and the ingredients counts when one wants to lose weight, the intention it is not enough. It is necessary to avoid certain enemy foods, places, and follow basic Miami summer diet tips :

 

1. The Hotel

Let’s face it. The hotel doesn’t want you going out of the building. That’s why their beds are so comfortable IOI. They want you to stay in the pool, the spa, the grill … you name it, and the only thing you do in all this places is EAT and DRINK unhealthy food. I recommend   fashionable Miami Vacation rentals with their own kitchen in order for you to cook your own meals, plus less expensive if you are coming with friends and family.

2. Smoothies

Smoothies are known for healthful drinks, although some of the smoothies are relatively low in calories, many of them can contain more than 600 calories, of which almost half are fat. So avoid the smoothies prepared with ice creams, or milk. Instead choose those prepared with fat free milk, yogurt low in fat and fruit juices.

3. Fashionable coffees

If you are one of those persons who cannot live without coffee, the most simple you take it, the better. One of the last varieties of coffee that you find in Starbucks is the “Coconut Créme” and “Vainilla Créme Frappuccino”. These two versions of coffee have between 700 and 900 calories each one. Stay away from them.

4. Enriched Water

We know that water is essential for health. Now they sell enriched water with vitamin C, zinc, Echinacea and sugars that will give you 125 calories by bottle. In order to obtain the vitamins and minerals that your body needs it is preferable to take a healthful diet and regular water with a simple supplement without calories.

5. Energetic Bars

You can find them of all type, fruits, with yogurt, of proteins, with milk, of oats, and the majority with much sugar and partially hydrogenated fats (trans-fats). The calories of these bars vary of 140 to 250 calories by unit. Since the portion of protein is of hardly 1,5 per  ounce and not always satisfy the appetite  you can easily become  addicted to them.

6. Cinema yes, popcorn no

Why the pop corn of the cinema is less healthful than those of the supermarket? Because those of the cinema generally are cooked with Coco oil (saturated fat), or cheap hydrogenated oil and the portions are more than familiar size, they are “mega portions”. The small portion of pop corn corresponds to 7 cups that is 600 calories. That covers our recommended portion for a day and a half of saturated fat. Whereas the big portion contains 20 cups that is 1600 calories, four days of the saturated fat recommendation. “Salads from “fast foods restaurants”. For a guide of Miami Restaurants click Here…
