Hasta La Ideas

Swimsuit season is right around the corner and as you sculpt your body into bikini-worthy shape with diet and exercise, it’s nice to know that a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine reports that the type of diet you use to slim down doesn’t matter as much as sticking to it. That’s right. You can forget yo-yo, crash or fad diets. But it won’t make one ounce of difference if you follow Atkins, the Zone, Volumetrics, Weight Watchers, the South Beach Diet, the Sonoma Diet or any others. Like a lot of areas of life, it’s persistence that pays off. Well, that plus healthy eating and exercise. One in a million can look like Heidi Klum without effort but the rest of us mortals have to work at it. Need some motivation? Just dangle one of these fab vintage swimsuits like a carrot and keep on crunching! Click the slideshow to see the selection.
