Q. I need to lose weight for my wedding in August. Will wearing a vinyl sweatsuit help?
A. Every time I see somebody walking around my favorite park in a
rubber suit, I pull out my CPR card and get ready to hit 911 on my cell
phone. Sweating is good. I sweat early, often and everywhere.
Evaporating perspiration cools us off. That's what it's for.
You can safely and effectively lose one to two pounds per week by
reducing your daily calories and upping your physical activity to
create a calorie deficit each day--calories in versus calories out.
That's the only magic there is. If you start your program today, you
can safely set your goal at four to 18 pounds by August 1. Involve your
bridesmaids and family. Set up a little healthy competition and
support. Have a wedding day 5K walk and fun run.
And if are trying to sweat to avoid retaining water, drink more
water. Your body won't work so hard to hold on to it if it's getting a
regular and plentiful supply.
