Three Quick Ways To Reduce “Junk In The Trunk”
By Matt Mc Dermott
Are you concerned about looking in the mirror or going out with friends and thinking that you might have some extra “junk in the trunk?” If so, there are some quick ways to begin to reduce the “trunk size” without spending lots of money!
The first way to reduce junk in the trunk is to drink more water. On average, most people do not drink sufficient amounts of water. The recommended minimum amount of water the USDA recommends for the average adult is 64 fluid ounces. This is equal to eight, 8-ounce cups of water. While you can get some of your water from foods like watermelon and cucumbers, it is best to get most of your water from actual water. Not drinking enough water over time causes your body to store extra water under the skin — that is why some of the “junk in your trunk” is not fat… some of it is actually retained water!
Another way to reduce junk in the trunk is to find a fun way in which to exercise. You may not want to spend the money on a gym membership, you may live in a climate with bad weather, or you may have been convinced that exercise is something to dread. Since the human body was designed for movement, we all know deep down that some form of exercise is good for us. There are dozens of activities of fun activities to exercise so there should be at least one which meets your needs! If nothing else, consider doing some body weight squats or practicing some of the sports drills with your kids. Of course, get your doctor’s approval before making any changes to your exercise program.
A third way to reduce junk in the trunk is to reduce the late night sweets. You can have them on occasion, but if eat a bowl of ice cream, candy, or some other dessert right before going to bed every night consider changing that habit. If you cannot cut the habit, at least have protein along with your treat. Egg whites, a small protein shake, or a small grilled chicken breast will help reduce the negative effects of late-night sweets. Adding protein will help reduce the effects, but consider reducing the frequency of late night sweets in order to best help you get rid of some junk in the trunk!
