🔥 My Top 10 Tips for Keeping Cool in the Heatwave! ☀️
Let's face it... when it's this hot, even the ice cream is sweating! 🥵
Here are my favourite ways to stay cool whilst staying on track:
1️⃣ Freeze your fruit 🍇 Frozen grapes, cherries and melon chunks make amazing sweet treats.
2️⃣ Drink before you're thirsty 💧 Keep a bottle of water nearby and sip little and often.
3️⃣ Fill half your plate with Speed Food 🥗 Salads, cucumber, tomatoes and watermelon are packed with water and help keep you refreshed.
4️⃣ Swap hot meals for cooler options 🌯 Think wraps, pasta salads, chicken salads and picky tea plates.
5️⃣ Keep moving... sensibly 🚶♀️ A gentle morning or evening stroll beats attempting a marathon at midday!
6️⃣ Make friends with the freezer 🍧 Fat-free yogurts frozen into ice lolly moulds are a game changer.
7️⃣ Wear loose, light clothing 👕 Comfort first. Nobody needs clingy clothes in 30-degree heat!
8️⃣ Close curtains during the day 🏠 Keep the sun out and the cool air in.
9️⃣ Keep your sense of humour 😆 If you're sticking to a plastic chair, you've officially become part of the furniture.
🔟 Come to Group! ❤️ Air conditioning or not, you'll find encouragement, support, motivation and plenty of people all trying to survive the heatwave together!
Remember, this weather won't last forever, but the habits you're building can. Stay cool, stay hydrated and keep Food Optimising! ☀️
