Diets Do Not Work

Everywhere I go people ask me for "Diet Advice." Diets do not work because they slow your metabolism down and you will most likely gain the weight right back. Making small changes permanently does work. If you can simply cut out 500 calories a day from your diet, you will lose 52 pounds this year. Wouldn't that be amazing! Here is a sample of what you could do to cut out a few hundred calories per day without dieting.

1. Cut out one soda a day and drink water with a lemon or lime slice. (150 calories saved)

2. Use mustard rather than mayo or sauce on your sandwich. (100 or more calories saved)

3. Remove the skin from your chicken for lunch or dinner. (100 or more calories saved)

4. Use a low calorie salad dressing or lemon on your salad. (100 or many more calories saved)

5. Do not put cheese on your lunch sandwich but extra veggies. (150 to 200 calories saved)

6. Skip juice in the morning. (100 calories saved)

7. Exchange regular butter or marg. for light ones. (50 calories per Tablespoon saved)

8. Substitute an Americano for your favorite coffee extravaganza! (200 to 600 calories saved)

Calories can add up quickly if you are not paying attention. Start looking for ways to make some permanent changes and these changes can add up to weight loss. Happy Reducing!
