3 Tips for Fitting into Your Favorite Monsoon Dresses
It is that time of the year when the sun tends to hide behind clouds, and pearls of water join hands with magic to create a romantic weather. Well, its also a time when a lot of binge biting happens in the name of weather. The down side is that, with no exercise (blame it on the cloudy weather and muddy potholes!) and excessive snacking, weight gain is a serious issue during monsoon. Monsoon is a season to flaunt your favorite clothes like shorts, short dresses, skater skirts and floral summer dress. Its all about experimenting with various prints and play with vibrant colors to brighten up a dull day.

However, you may be wondering exactly how to fit back into your favorite skater dress or that denim shorts from previous year, if you’ve recently put on a little extra weight. The good news is that, there are several things that you can do to keep a tab on your weight gain during monsoon and also manage to shed a few pounds before the season is over. This article is going to give you three tips for fitting into your favorite monsoon dresses on that note.
Buy a Size That Fits
Everyone’s body shape is different and can change over time, and this might mean when going monsoon shopping this year, you choose a size up instead of your normal size. One of the most important things to note if you’re a fashion-forward person is that the fit is one of the most important aspects of any look you go for. Some tips on ensuring your clothes fit properly when it comes to dresses are ensuring the shoulders fit so that it hangs well on your body and then checking your hips to ensure the dress fits well there as well. Also it helps to buy clothes that can accommodate a little bit of change in size like the flowy top I have worn in the picture above.
Eat 3 Square Meals
Many times, people are under the misconception that in order to lose weight, they have to starve themselves. However, this is far from true and it’s quite the opposite in reality. When trying to lose weight, it’s important that you stick to three healthy meals a day. Try not to skip breakfast for the sake of the nutrition health benefits, artery health, and also weight control. In case you want to know more, HealthSoul has more information regarding why skipping breakfast isn’t the best idea health-wise. You should also know that breakfast kickstarts your metabolism helping you burn calories throughout the day, ensures lower levels of LDL cholesterols and lowers your chances of getting diabetes as well as heart disease. If you find it hard to stick to three meals a day, try meal planning at the beginning of every week and doing adequate meal prep the night before.
Swap Carbs for Veggies
Carbs tend to be a huge part of most people’s diet as it consists of rice, pasta, bread, and other foods that you likely eat on a daily basis. However, it isn’t the best food to eat if you’re on a mission to lose weight. The reason is that they’re digested very quickly and as a result, leave you hungry and more likely to overeat later. Some examples of swaps you can try are cauliflower rice instead of actual rice and carrots and dip instead of chips and dip. The complex carbs in vegetables are digested more slowly, so you should stay full for longer and the veggies can also help flush out excess water weight.
Fitting into your special dresses is a goal that you can accomplish before the season is over if you’re determined. It’s going to take a significant amount of discipline and a little sacrifice, but you can get there quicker than you hope to. By choosing to follow some of the tips mentioned above, you won’t have to postpone some of your favorite summer monsoon looks to next year.
