Getting the perfect beach bod before putting on a bikini

E-mail comment on this item

altIf you're the kind of girl who prefers a bikini, you'll most likely want to make sure that your body is in tip-top shape before getting some sun. Cosmopolitan says there are a few ways that you can quickly shed those extra pounds to get the beach bod you've always dreamed of:

1. Drink plenty of water. This can be especially helpful before you eat a meal. Water will not only keep you hydrated throughout the day, but it will fill your tummy up to chase away the urge to make a pig of yourself at the dinner table. Did we mention that it also has less calories than sugary soda?

2. Munch on nuts. Instead of reaching for that bag of potato chips, go for some mixed nuts. They can quell your taste for something salty while providing you with filling protein. Best of all, they don't have carbohydrates!

3. Consider counting calories. Although it may seem like a pain, reading nutritional labels and keeping a food diary can help you reach your weight loss goal. Making sure you are burning more calories than you consume in a day can ensure that you are en route to losing a few extra pounds.
