Ah summertime. The season of shorts, bathing suits and flip flops. Most people spend the entire winter talking about the diet they are going to begin to prepare for summer. Well what if your winter diet didn’t start until July, is it too late?

I know that advertisers are aware of the summer dieting craze by the commercials that air all summer long. Have you seen the yogurt add (it’s either yoplait or dannon) about the girl who was afraid to come out of the locker with her little yellow bikini on? They aired a similar promo during the winter months showing a woman eating yogurt everyday while staring at a bikini hanging on the wall. Motivation! Cruel cruel yogurt advertising! Leave us alone. The winter is filled with holidays and holiday parties, which are just excuses to eat big meals and drink in groups. And the weather is terrible so it is easy to make excuses for hiding inside. Well unless you live in Australia then your winter is our summer so you know…nevermind.

At any rate, for those of you who are still hoping to kick start that summer diet, here are some articles of interest.
