Summertime Dieters' Guide

By: Valerie Denny

You may think the most tempestuous time of year for dieters is the stretch of holidays beginning with Thanksgiving. You hope that after recovering from your New Year's overindulgences and polishing off that Valentine's Day box of chocolates you're in the clear. You tell yourself, "I'll just cut back on the carbs and work out a little, and I'll be just fine by bathing suit season." Well that, my friends, is a very dangerous deception. Just because you've squeezed yourself into the bikini doesn't mean you're out of the woods. Summer brings a whole new slew of diet traps: barbecues, weddings, company picnics, vacations, family reunions and food-filled holidays. Don't fear, we've got advice on how to steer away from the devil's food cake and over to the fruit platter.
