Top Ten Ways To Slim-down For Summer; The Eco Way!

1.Eat fresh. Eat Local and Eat well. Fill up on fruit and veg and buy local wherever you can. That way the food will be fresh, colourful and delicious motivating you to pick up an apple rather than that chocolate bar. Eating a balanced meal, three times a day (dont forget breakfast) is key to losing weight and getting a bikini-fit bod for Summer.

2.Slim Scent Pens. These revolutionary new pens give off a scent that can rid you off that nagging desire to snack. Check out MoreEcos shop to find out more.

3.Enjoy the fresh air. There is no better way to tone up for Summer than enjoying the outdoors. Make the most of the beautiful spring weather by going for a walk or a bike ride. For those of you who want to try something a little harder, jogging can be a fantastic way to strip off those excess pounds and enjoy the sunshine (its good for your lungs and circulation too!)

4.Spring Clean. Theres nothing better for a new diet than organizing the rest of your life. The added bonus being cleaning burns those calories! Spring clean your house, recycle those things you dont need, take those extra clothes to the charity shop and get the whole family ship-shape for Summer.

5.Holland & Barretts. MoreEco have a brilliant cash back service with Holland & Barretts meaning you can get all the vitamins and nutrients you need, for less. Ensuring that you take those supplements will clear your skin and help cleanse your body.

6.Less Washing. Many people are unaware of the effects that too many showers or baths can have on your skin. Washing your hair or skin too much can lead to brittle hair and dry skin that then requires moisturizing or conditioning. Save some water and wash less!

7.Eco-Shopping. Find an eco-bikini you love and use it as an incentive to slim-down for the beach. Buying an item of clothing you adore that is maybe a little too small is a fantastic incentive to stick to your diet and shed those pounds.

8.Plan Ahead. The best advice that you can be given is to plan ahead. Not only does this help you stick to your diet rules but it also means you wont waste food.

9.Cut Down the Meat. Replace some of your weekly meat allowance with fruit and vegetables for a healthier (and greener) meal. 

10.Ditch the Car. There is nothing better for the mind and body than a good long walk in the morning. Walk to work and see the pounds fall away. Feel and look better in no time with the added benefit of being eco-friendly.

Top Ten Eco-Lifestyle Changes

1.    Get in the Garden – get outside and have some fun gardening! There are plenty of fantastic green products around and growing your own fruit and veg helps reduce your carbon footprint and persuades you to keep healthy!

2.    Compost Compost Compost! – Make sure you keep a compost bin and make the most of your left over food scraps. Just place all peelings and left over biodegradable vegetables in your compost bin and then watch your home-grown vegetables thrive.

3.    Walk – walk your kids to school, walk to work, walk to town. Reduce your carbon footprint and tone up by ditching the car keys and grabbing your walking shoes.

4.    Watch that water level – Only boil the amount of water you need, fill your dishwasher to the brim, time your showers, limit the number of baths you have and watch your water bills (and carbon footprint) decrease.

5.    Turn it off – turn off those appliances. Turn off the lights you aren’t using. Switch the TV off at the plug each night and don’t leave your laptops and mobiles plugged in all day everyday. Not only will you be helping the environment but you will notice a difference to your energy bill.

6.    Recycling can be fun! – Get the kids involved. Check with your local council what can be recycled and make sure to adhere to their rules. And get creative! Old clothes can be given new life, old containers can be used to make toys (think Blue Peter!) and wrapping paper and gift cards can always be personalised and re-used.

7.    Find eco-alternatives – Going on holiday? Take a train, not a plane. Try and stay local or take an eco-route where possible. Or looking to buy a new book? Head to your local charity shop, they will have plenty!

8.    Get eco-fit – don’t stay at home watching television. Grab the kids, turn off those lights and get active! Take a walk to your local park, have fun and get fit. Learning to enjoy the outdoors will help you appreciate the importance of keeping our environment healthy and getting active will make you feel more energised and less like sitting in front of the TV or computer.

9.    Teach those around you – Make sure your family, your children and your friends know the importance of making small changes in their lives that can considerably reduce their carbon footprint.

10.    Get involved – stick to your eco-resolutions and find out about any local charities or organisations that need help with their green agenda. If you can spare some money look to giving a monthly sum to a non-profit organisation that concentrates on ecological issues and, if you have the time, campaign your local MP and local companies to make green promises (and stick to them!).
