Someone says that in the summer it loses weight. "It's too hot to eat, I have less appetite, there is more movement." But the truth is another: during the holidays summer laziness, it's too hot to move (not to eat), or you go on trips to distant destinations, to the south, maybe abroad. Tasting local delicacies is mandatory. fried on fried, ice creams, for lunch and out to dinner, it is always the right time to stop at bar or do appetizer with friends.

If the summer went exactly the same for you, you probably put it a few kg more. There is nothing to be ashamed of, but above all don't panic. In September it is already difficult enough to say goodbye to the sea and to start over, going on a diet would be too great a punishment.

Then, once accepted all this and abandoned i guilt feelings, we can do good by avoiding big sacrifices or strict diets. Here are some ideas I put on my list of good intentions of September, for the health of body and mind. 7 habits to return slowly on the right path, without making too much effort.

1. Move as much as you can

Since going to the gym bores you terribly, walk. He walks a lot. When you're in the office, get up from time to time and take two steps. Go dancing (burns lots of calories).

2. Go up the stairs

When you arrive at the office and the temptation to press the elevator button is stronger than anything else, you you have to be stronger. Take the stairs. And when the day is over, walk home. And take the stairs.

3. Don't go out for lunch

The lunch break must also be a moment of leisure and cannot possibly be sad. That's why for almost the whole year you go out for lunch, go and eat "something good". At least in September don't be tempted: prepares a little basket healthy, but make it appetizing in your own way so as not to get depressed.

4. Relax

Technically we are still in the summer. If the weather is good, go eat your lunch bag outdoors. Maybe in a park, in the wild, which is good. Don't gorge yourself in 10 minutes, take your time.

5. Quit

Sometimes those on a diet also avoid going out with friends for a drink. That's no good! Go out and have fun: if the buffet tempts you don't worry, eat all you want, but don't do an encore. Then walk home. And take the stairs. And tomorrow, prepare a little more healthy meal.

6. Small dietary changes

No desire to follow a pre-established strict diet? Try to change the way you deal with meals, seriously following the good eating habits you've heard and felt billions of times. If they weren't enough: no to snacks and to unnecessary calories, make snacks with the fruit and a little piece of dark chocolate; prefer i Whole grains to the refined ones, eat more fibers is vegetables; reduce the use of condiments, salt and sugar; drink lots of water.

7. Taste

Carbonara, cutlet, bread and ham. Yummy, but don't stop there. Go beyond the usual recipes you already know, discover new ingredients, try new pairings and experiment in your kitchen. Every day something different.

This is not a diet to lose weight fast, but a guideline to get more awareness, to be more balanced and get better. I'm trying and I have already tried a couple of times, but it doesn't matter.
