Make sure you plan for hot weather. You will have to compensate for certain things. Pay particular attention to:

• Water intake – Make sure you drink lots of pure, fresh water, during the day.
• Food – Ensure you don’t over-eat and try and keep fatty/heavy foods/carbs to a minimum. Salads, fruits and vegetables are best.
• Salt – Don’t exclude this from your diet but make sure you are not consuming large amounts of salt as it can get you bloated.
• Dairy – Try and avoid or reduce your intake of dairy products as they are one of the quickest ways to get boated.
• Diuretics – If you are drinking a lot of caffeine drinks, tea or coffee, make sure they don’t dehydrate you.
• Make sure you are not constipated. If you are, take some Diet Cleanse.

Running or jogging can greatly help you to keep your body looking trim. Make sure you don’t exercise in extreme heat and take in lots of water. Swimming is also a great way of looking good and keeping your shape.
