Lose Weight and Get Gorgeous

Lose Weight: Get Gorgeous by Julia Denham

Now you're losing weight, it's time to focus on your looks, because let's admit it, part of the reason you want to lose weight is to look gorgeous. Beauty starts with the inner you, and since you are what you eat, you need to make sure that your diet includes foods that will increase your beauty.

If you have a lot of weight to lose, you may be worried about "loose skin" syndrome: flaps of loose skin on your chin, underarms, tummy and thighs. To avoid this, aim to lose weight slowly. This gives your body a chance to adjust, so to speak. Include plenty of protein in your diet, and eat lots of vegetables for the vitamins and minerals that your skin needs. You also need to add some monounsaturated oils.

Add Oil To Your Diet To Smooth Your Skin

Whatever kind of diet you're on, your skin needs oil, otherwise it will become dry, flaky and unsightly. It will also become less elastic, contributing to loose skin syndrome. Researchers have found that when you add a dressing made with olive or canola oil to your salads, it may increase your skin's radiance - your skin becomes smoother, softer, and reflects the light, giving you a healthy glow.

Drink Lots Of Water For Soft, Smooth Skin

Water should be your primary beauty aid.

Water is wonderful. Not only does it fill you up without calories, but it also flushes toxins out of your system. You're healthier, and your skin is smooth and lovely.

Don't overdo the water, but make sure you drink a glass of water when you get up in the morning, before each meal, and in between meals too. When you're not used to drinking a lot of water, it can be hard to remember, so just tell yourself that you're taking a beauty break when you sip a glass of water.

After you start to drink more water, you'll notice the difference in your skin within days.
So there you have it - two simple easy ways to get gorgeous as you lose weight. Remember the oil on your salad dressings, and drink lots of water.
