Do you want to look good next summer when you head down to the French Riviera? Or perhaps you were thinking of taking another au pair position next year, further from the city, and closer to the sea. If so then you will be wanting to get in shape and loose a few kilograms. Well with the new "Au Pair Weight Loss Plan" you can get ready for next summer. I used to go to the gym every day and saw slow results, but I have been following the diet for two months and have dropped two dress sizes. Read on to find out more
1) Increase your Cardio levels.
This is one of the easiest parts of the au pair diet. You don't even have to motivate yourself - the children will do it for you. Walking them to school and back? Cardio! Going to the park? Cardio! Dash to the supermarket? Cardio! Running in the house? Follow them - it's cardio! Whenever you feel as though you have five minutes to yourself to relax, don't worry - The children are bound to have a new form of cardio worked out for you.
2) Do you even lift?
Weights are a key part of dropping a dress size. They keep you burning calories long after the workout is finished. Again, this is an easy part of the au pair lifestyle. Did you know that the average 4 year old is 14-18kg? Have you ever lifted one into the bath? Or picked up when it was crying? Congratulations. That's you lifting. Do you do it several times a week? Congratulations, thats your reps. Now do them every day, every week, for the rest of your stay. Feel your arms and back tone up.
3) Diet.
The diet element has two parts
Part 1 - eat what the kids eat. When cooking for small children every night of the week, you are constantly trying to hide healthy food in it. So eat the same healthy (albeit disguised) food as the children in the same portions. These will be smaller than the adult sized portions you are used to and aid in loosing weight. But there are times when the kids will eat something so sticky, so sugary, so bizarre (Frozen vanilla snowball breakfast cereal, Oreos dipped in Nutella then hot chocolate, all that compote) that you will be put off eating for quite a while. Go with it.
Part 2 - Eat a lot of pasty. Chances are in the morning you don't have time to sit down and have proper breakfast. So grab something from the boulangerie on the way back from school. trust me, a couple of times a week won't matter. Have you seen how much cardio you are doing?
4) Caffeine
Caffeine is your friend. Embrace it. Hold it close to you. There are many times when you will have so little time that you will have to chose between food and caffeine. You will choose caffeine. That is ok.
5) See Paris.
Paris is not the biggest city in the world. London, for example, is much bigger in area. But like all good capital cities there is lots for you to see, so get out there! you will walk for kilometres just moving through the Metro stations. The more you see, the more you will walk, the more weight you will lose. The distances you go will surprise you.
6) Sleep.
Sleep when you can, for as long as you can. Children at school? Have a nap. Got to be up at 6:30? Go to bed at 21:00. The only way you'll keep your sanity is by being well rested. And whats the point of having your amazing new au pair body, if you're too exhausted to show it off?
Have you all been noticing the effect of "The Au Pair Plan"? So many au pairs can't believe how much weight they've lost since they've started work.
Please know - this is a joke. Do not attempt extreme diet plans and stay lovely and healthy!
