Don?t cover up on the beach ? simply ditch the junk food and follow these easy guidelines and you?ll be bikini beautiful in just 6 weeks.

????1.???Swap fatty snacks for veg and fruit

Don?t snack on things like crisps and chocolate, instead try shredding carrots, peppers or mushrooms and place them in a sandwich bag you can carry around with you for a healthier alternative.

If that doesn?t take your fancy, try fruits instead. Strawberries, blueberries and apples are full of vitamins and more importantly, they?re not packed full of calories.

????2.???Drink plenty of water

Sugary drinks aren?t just bad for your teeth ? they?re also filled with calories which increase weight gain. Dieticians recommend drinking 8 pints of water a day. If you don?t like drinking plain water, liven it up with a splash of natural extract such as maple, banana, vanilla, lemon or root beer.

????3.???Keep reminding yourself

As with any diet, the one thing you can?t give up is motivation. If you?re unhappy about the way you look at the moment and want to shed a few pounds but are constantly tempted by fattening snacks, try this trick: keep a photo of yourself in your purse and every time you feel like eating something unhealthy, have a look at it.

Alternatively, pick up a magazine and choose a celebrity you?d love to look like.

????4.???Have a decent sized breakfast

Many think that not having breakfast or having very little for breakfast is healthy but they couldn?t be more wrong! It?s actually the most important meal of the day as it sets the tone for the next few hours.

Skipping breakfast is likely to make you tired and rundown faster ? think of it as fuel. Wholemeal bread, egg white omelet and fruit are healthy ways to start the day.

????5.???Exercise

As well as watching what you eat, one of the best ways to obtain a beach ready body is to keep moving. Swim, run, walk or jog for just 30 minutes each day and you?ll not only feel more energised and alive but you?ll tone the muscles and lose inches before you know it
