Build a Killer Swimsuit Body

Not quite ready to reveal your summer body? You're not alone. In a UCLA survey of 50,000 people, 64 percent of women and 50 percent of men said they were self-conscious about their stomach fat. That translates to a lot of T-shirt-clad bodies at the beach. But you can slim down for summer by eating the best foods of the season. When the weather's hot, nothing tastes better than ripe fruit, crisp vegetables, and lean grilled meats. Throw in the swimsuit as an extra dash of motivation, and you have all the ingredients for an effective summer slim-down.

Start your day on the right track with this sunrise breakfast--Whole Wheat English Muffin, Ham, Romaine, Tomato, Cheddar, Egg—this will stoke your metabolism and keep you full for hours (so you won't be tempted to reach for one of those unhealthy snacks in disguise). If you're going to hit the pool this weekend, avoid the junk foods, and don't be fooled by calorie-packed meals like those advertised daily.
