How to get and keep your bikini body

1. Hydration

This always gets drummed into us, with the usual recommendation of "8 glasses per day". Different conditions require different amounts though. Mid-winter in Sweden vs Summer in the tropics - totally different needs. As an indicator, have a peek at the colour of your urine. It should ideally be a pale yellow to clear. If it's rather yellow, up your intake. Adequate water intake helps to regulate our appetites, and it is really easy to misinterpret hunger for actual thirst. I love to start my day by "drenching" my body with 1 litre of water. Your digestive system is at its emptiest in the morning and this has a nice flushing effect.



2. Find a Way of Eating most suited to you

So many "Current Trending Diets" out there. I actually don't even like to use the word "diet" as it implies restriction. When you find the style of eating that works for you it is not about restriction, it is about nourishment and sustainability. We should feel satisfied physically, mentally and emotionally from the food we eat. The physical, mental and emotional are all interconnected. When one is out of balance it affects the others.

Cravings are big here. We might think that cravings are a mental and/or emotional thing. Often they are actually a result of an underlying physical need, i.e. unstable blood sugar levels or nutrient deficiency. Craving chocolate around that time of the month? That's your body letting you know it wants some more magnesium. Correct the physical and the mental/emotional often resolves too.



3. Identify and resolve any food allergies or intolerances

Feeling "puffy"? Rings cutting off circulation one day but not the next? Poop sticking to the bowl? These are all indicators that there is some level of inflammation happening in the body. Often as a result of what we have consumed. I suggest keeping a food diary for a week, noting foods eaten and any symptoms if they occur. This can really help you to tune into your body that little bit more and identify any common triggers. When we have inflammation in the body, we tend to hold onto water. Think of a blister on the outside of your body...the water/serum helps to protect the underneath layer and helps it to heal. It can be really hard to lose excess weight with an inflamed digestive system.



4. You don't have to count calories, but calories do count

Here I am referring to the types of food you choose to eat. Eating 2000 calories worth of good fats, veggies, and proteins will have a huge difference in how you look and feel compared to eating 2000 calories worth of Big Macs. If you want to look and feel like a million bucks, don't eat from the dollar menu.

It really is a shame that healthy, whole foods are way more expensive than processed foods. But it is what it is, at least for now, and I choose to spend less other things so that I can afford the foods I want. Macadamias - I'm looking at you. Yum!



5. Sleep

In similar category to water I reckon, we all know we should be getting our 8 hours per night. But do we know why? When I know the reasoning behind what I am doing I am more likely to follow though. Insufficient sleep is known to cause changes in hormones like ghrelin (which increases appetite) and leptin (which tells us we're full). The result is that sleepy people tend to feel hungry and consume more energy than those who are well rested. Also, when we're tired we tend to reach for the more energy dense foods. The little "quick fix". And if we're feeling a little sooky along with tired, comfort foods seem like the only thing in the world that will make us feel better. Opposite in fact tends to be true.



6. De-Stress

Elevated stress levels cause elevated levels of our stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol inhibits insulin production in an attempt to prevent glucose from being stored, favoring its immediate use. Over time this leads to chronically high blood sugar levels and insulin resistance. Our cells become starved of glucose. Message sent to brain: eat more. So we do. And the excess glucose gets stored as body fat.

You can get your insulin resistance levels tested by having the Hba1C blood test. This test measures your response to insulin over the past three months.



7. Exercise

Exercise. Is. Awesome. Helps your mood, steadies blood sugar levels, improves insulin resistance, tones the bowel, regulates appetite, releases endorphins. I love exercise...to a degree! I love yoga and I love surfing. Find things you enjoy that also keep you moving. Ideally at a level of intensity suited to where you are at. If you are a bit stressed out and adrenally fatigued doing Bikram 5 times a week may be what you want but it is the opposite of what youneed (I speak from personal experience. Bikram yoga 5 days a week, couldn't loose a gram. Cut back massively, rested, did a weight loss protocol, felt the best ever. And developed a six pack for the first time in my life).



8. Thyroid Health

Our thyroids play a huge role in our metabolism. Hypothyroid (underactive thyroid) being one of the biggest underlying causes of inability to lose weight. There are lots of different mechanisms that need to be working for us to have healthy thyroid function.



Often getting back a test result of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) within range will come with the tick from the doctor that you're all good. But there is much more involved to it. Levels of TSH, T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine) and TPO (thyroid peroxidase antibody) all need to be evaluated to understand where your thyroid is truly at. You can do a little at home assessor by tracking your Basal Body Temperature for a few days. If it is consistently under 36.5 C you most likely have an unhappy thyroid.



9. Intermittent Fasting

I'm a fan of "intermittent fasting". I am also a fan of eating every day! Michael Mosely popularised the "5:2 diet": 500 calories on two non consecutive days of the week, regular eating the other five. Works for some. For others they often comment they tend to overdo it quite a bit on the regular days. You can achieve the same results if not better by fasting for 12 - 16 hours each day. May sound like a stretch, but remembering point 5 we are going to be aiming to sleep for 8 hours per night. So two hours either side and you have 12 hours right there. Think of it as having an 8 - 10 hour "eating window" during your days.



10. Dry Skin Brushing



I'll end with a simple one. Dry skin brushing. This one is great for removing dead skin cells and giving you a nice healthy glow. It also increases circulation to your skin, which encourages the elimination of metabolic waste. And with its stimulation of the lymphatic system it helps to release toxins acting as a powerful detoxification aid. Plus it may help to reduce the appearance of cellulite by softening any hard fat deposits beneath the skin and distributing them more evenly. Winning! ...when trying to re-make it a habit I put a little post-it note on the shower door so I will see it before I get in. Remembering once you're already wet is a bit late for dry skin brushing. ;-)

Facts about Bikini Waxing

1. It gets easier.
“I wish people knew that the service becomes easier and easier with every visit. I think sometimes people hesitate to try it or don’t continue with it after their first service because they are deterred by pain. After the first one, it is so much easier and only gets easier from there.”

2. Do NOT trying waxing for the first time when you’re pregnant.

“If you wax before you are pregnant, you can continue to wax throughout. I have waxed many women the day or week before [their] due date. Guests like to get waxed as close as possible to delivery, as they will not be able to get another wax until their doctor clears them. I encourage anyone even trying to get pregnant to start waxing now. It becomes very challenging to tend to the area as you grow, and hair becomes thicker during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. We do not encourage guests to start waxing for the first time during the third trimester. It’s something that should have been started earlier.”

3. Watch out for these red flags at your waxing parlor.

“An area behind a curtain, as opposed to private room for waxing — if the space is not a priority then the technique is not either. Double dipping sticks, a dirty room or wax pot [and] no gloves.”

4. It’s OK to get a wax on your period, but... 

“It’s all about sticking to a schedule, so if your reservation falls during your cycle, you should still get your wax. I would not recommend your first wax during your period as it will make the experience more uncomfortable, but during the year it is bound to happen. Just wear a tampon and let your wax specialist know.”

5. The long terms effects of waxing down there are worth the pain.

“Hair will always become finer, softer and more sparse with waxing. The degree and speed of those results vary by the individual. I’ve had guests that have seen fifty percent hair reduction in three or four visits; for others it may take more time.”


6. The type of wax you use matters.

“Hard stripless wax is the only way to go. Honey wax is a thing of the past — it’s messy and too hot and can really damage the skin. Not to mention, it hurts a lot more.”

7. There IS a way to make waxing less painful.

“You can certainly take an Advil if you’d like, but the best thing to do to reduce pain is to stick to the schedule. The hair should be not too short [or] too long. Oh, and try to stay relaxed. Talk to your waxer to distract yourself and keep your muscles as relaxed as possible.”


8. Don’t workout right before or right after a wax.

“[Sweat] may interfere with the wax adhering to the hair. Working out right after may cause an adverse reaction to your freshly waxed skin. We recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours [before hitting] the gym, especially if you are new to waxing. You want to keep the area clean to avoid irritation.”

My story

Stolen from my favorite store <3

I have been in school swimming team and represented school team at various levels. When I was doing tenth grade I was participating district level .During that time I made friends with another girl from Goa and she introduced me to smallest and skimpiest bikinis . With her help I received some very revealing like almost naked bikinis. In that my most favorite was sling shot string bikinis.

Then I was told that I was selected at province level and was required to be there in weeks time . Usually at district level at least one teacher accompanies students when the event is held at a different place ,however in this case I was the only one going from the district there was no teacher accompanying this time.

I realized that may be I will have ample opportunities to try my hidden bikinis when I am alone .I packed my usual stuff and carefully hidden my tiniest bikinis . The slingshot string bikini is just three tiniest pieces of material connected by the strings which are to be adjusted to cover nipples and *****. Though it barely manage to cover nipples and it actually the third piece is the smallest measuring just three inch long and inch wide . Any uncontrolled movement cases shifting the tiny pieces and exposing the covered body parts . To one of the bikini I did little modification by changing the string with completely transparent silicon string ;that way the string part became completely invisible and only material pieces would be visible , wearing that would be like going complete naked .Though I was determined to try my all these bikinis.

At Goa the swimming events commenced and my province was out of events after half way . Little sad about failure to success all the girls were to depart next day which was Wednesday . Since we participated at province level we were told that we have to be back in school next Wednesday. That left me almost a week available to be on my own.

I informed the team in-charge that I have relatives on my way whom I would be visiting while heading back to my town. Little did every one knew my plan of living behind and visiting the beaches around Goa.

Same evening I moved with all my belongings to little motel in the remote southern end of the beach

One of my favorite pieces from SnSbikinis

town of Panjim . Immediately outside the motel there was a small patch of forest and then dirt road would go winding along small hills in to flat school playground . After crossing the school ground one could follow a short cut to beach through the crowded place full of tourist activities . I thought this course would be most suitable for me to go to the beach.

The beach was about a mile from the motel and the way to beach was through the market place mostly of the tourist items and beach ware accessories.

First day ,on Thursday Morning I walked along the roads which I thought I would follow wearing just boys short and tube top . I saw some girls wearing some micro bikinis ;though they wear either at the beach or very close to the beach; there were just few girls walking along the streets wearing two piece or one piece bikinis which appeared just a normal.

Just before 12;00 I reached back my room and changed in to my most daring bikini , which was the sling shot string bikini with completely transparent silicon strings . In my room I put on this bikini ,adjusted the small pieces of material on my nipples and ***** , they appeared much smaller than I thought , adjusted and tightened the strings and stood against the mirror to check how I appeared

Well it looked as if I was completely naked, thee was no lining under the material ,so it was almost sheer. Also the pieces were so small that nothing was left to imagination. I picked on plastic bag which going to be my beach bag containing just some sun screen lotion and sheer piece of cloth to act as sarong.

I looked outside and noticed that sun was at full blaze and it was hot sunny noon time. I wrapped the sheer cloth around me taking care that any one staring at me would easily see that I am not wearing anything under it. the material pieces being very small were not easily visible and silicon string were completely invisible . Sported with sexy sun glasses and wearing just beach slippers I approached the reception desk . There was this cute young boy working at the desk. While approaching I made unusually extra noise of the beach sleepers and caught his attention . I asked him which is the easiest way to beach and just other un necessary questions. All the time his eyes were fixed on my body , I am sure that he was all time thinking about my naked body. I felt excited and thrilled about what I was doing . and what I was going to do the next.

After leaving the motel I halted at one of secluded spots and removed my sheer wrap and put it in the beach bag. Now I was complete naked except the sling shot string bikini . I walked through he cool breeze of the forest and felt very aroused , my nipples were standing erect and trying to fall out . I passed through the school field and entered the public place , I continued walking without any hesitation looking through the shop windows. 

Even at the non busy noon hours the place was quite crowded with some school boys and girls going back home after the school. They all were stopping to stare at my completely exposed body. the girls were giggling and speaking to each other about my nakedness. After about fifteen minutes walk I came across traffic intersection when I was standing to cross the road where I realized that the bottom piece of my bikini got completely buried in my ***** slit and there was noting covering my ***** . i though of adjusting my bikini ,but it was not correct place to that in full view of many people . Suddenly I realized that I was excited and feeling more sexy to see that people were staring at my ***** .I adopted the posture to thrust my ***** forward for many people to see and continued standing there for more than fifteen minutes.

After a long walk of fifty minutes or more through the crowded public place I reached the beach. I was actually in no rush to get in the water . I just continued walking along the beach through the crowds of beach visitors giving them full view of my naked body.

I guess I was feeling more and more excited to be in public wearing just almost nothing type bikini. I visited one of beach shop to buy cold water bottle and icecream It was great fun to stand in line for more than twenty minutes wearing just nothing.

I continued like that more that evening and loved the looks from people and their complements.

I am not sure if similar thing happens to all the girls but I know for sure that many girls like me love doing what I did that evening.

I would request responses from any one and every one who so ever reads this short narration of the wonderful event .

Tips about Swimwear

Why is my suit always riding up in the back?

There are several possible reasons:

-The bottom is too small (there's not enough fabric to keep your rear covered).

-The bottom is too big (the fit isn’t snug enough).

-The torso is too short (the one-piece doesn’t match the length of your body).

-The fabric or the elastic is stretched out.

-The bottom is cut too high.

Do a few lunges to make sure you’re wearing the right size before you leave the store. If the size seems correct but the bottom still rides up, select a style with a lower leg line.

Which styles are good for swimming laps but won’t make me look as if I’m trying out for the Olympics?

-The suit should be aero-dynamic. “If it’s cut low in front, fits a little loose, or has padding, it’s going to catch water and slow you down,”

-Thin racer back or cross-back straps look beach-worthy but won’t slide off your shoulders while you’re perfecting your backstroke.

-A halter can work if it is securely fastened. But be careful not to tie it so tight around the neck that it pulls up.

-If you swim often, you may want to invest in a suit made from Lycra fiber, a stretch fabric that resists chlorine, allowing garments to keep their shape up to 10 times longer than those made of regular spandex. Brands that offer Lycra fiber in sporty but fashionable cuts, Try to find something from brands like www.SnSbikinis.com.

Why do some suits cost so much?

That itsy-bitsy bikini leaves little room for error. “It takes an incredible amount of engineering, multiple fittings, detailed construction, and high-quality fabrics to create a good swimsuit,” When you then factor in all the extras―bra cups, linings, trims, control panels―the price adds up.

“Cheaper-quality fabrics may look and feel nice at first, but they won’t take the punishment of chlorine, sun, and salt water,” Often fabrics are thinned to bring costs down, but that reduces their power of stretch and recovery, says Alessandra Craig, marketing manager for swim at www.SnSbikinis.com, the company that manufactures the best Lycra fiber. That means the suit that seemed too good to be true is probably on a fast track to fading and stretching out for good. Basically you have two options: Invest in a high-quality suit to last a few seasons, or buy a cheaper one and be prepared to replace it often.

My breasts seem to disappear or look droopy in a bandeau. Can this style ever be flattering?

-Definitely, as long as you keep your body type in mind.

-To keep a small chest from looking flat, the top should be padded or twisted or have a ruffle along the top edge to add substance.

-For C cups and bigger: Try a bandeau with more support, like side boning, underwire, or removable straps, which will offer reinforcement where you need it most.

-If you have broad shoulders or are petite, it may be best to pass on this cut. The strong horizontal line of a bandeau can make these figures seem wider, not longer.

I’ve been to a bra fitter. Is there a swimwear equivalent?

Yes. Head to a specialty swimwear boutique, where the staff will look at your body objectively and suggest styles that you might have passed up. “I can’t tell you how many girls throw their hands up at a strapless top or a lower leg line and end up loving them.” Says Katie Smith from SnSbikinis

After I get out of the pool, I usually wrap myself in a beach towel―which always seems to fall off at the most awkward moment. What are some more fashionable and reliable cover-ups?

That all depends on what you are looking to cover up. If you want to hide your middle, pick a loose-fitting dress or a pareo tied at one shoulder (if you tie it at the waist, you’ll cut your body in half and only emphasize that area). Pear shapes, on the other hand, look great in a sarong tied at the waist or a knee-length skirt. Busty figures should avoid anything too tight on top and opt for button-down shirts, Empire-waist dresses, and tunics. Straight-up-and-down figures should do the opposite and try more body-conscious styles, like halter or bandeau dresses.

How can I tell if I need a new swimsuit?

There are a few telltale signs that a bathing suit should be on its way out of rotation. “One of the first things to go is the straps. You’ll know this when you swim a couple of laps and notice that the front of the suit has crept down an inch or two.” Other signs to watch out for: The seat starts to ride up, and the colors fade. You may even see bagging, sagging, and visible broken fibers on the surface of the fabric, which means the material is deteriorating.

If you want her to wear more colors then try to do it slowly and not so fast try with little color at first, maybe just stick to her usual colors when it comes to main items of clothing but accessories with more color. Take into consideration what you think she looks good in, are the pants tight or lose fitting? Does she wear long sleeves or more of short sleeves? Is she happy to show off her cleavage? These are important things to know.

What is her favorite outfit? An option to be on the safer side is to choose clothing for her that you know she will love. If she has a favorite skirt, top or jeans you could always buy her a similar piece of clothing in a slightly different color. If she has some shoes or boots she loves you could buy them in a different shade to match the new clothes, then you have covered all the bases.

Avoid going for what you think is overly sexy. Let's face it a lot of guys like to see their partners dress up for them. You have to find the fine line between what is sexy in your opinion and what your girlfriend will feel comfortable and confident wearing.

Model From www.SnSbikinis.com

Complete the outfit. When buying clothes you need to consider the accessories too. You may have found the perfect skirt and top but find that your girlfriend doesn’t wear it as she doesn’t have some matching shoes. Use online magazines for styling help and see what types of shoes look good with the clothing you have purchased. Have a look at your girlfriend’s current collection too; it will give you an idea of what attracts her in footwear.

Finishing touches. If you really want to impress why not go all out and buy some matching underwear and a few pieces of jewelry

or hair accessories. You don’t need to go mad, just a  necklace or bracelet can complete an outfit. Check what size underwear your girlfriend wears and buy sensibly. There is no point buying a black bra to go under a white shirt.
