10 WAYS TO SHAVE 100 CALOR I ES A DAY
IF THE MERE IDEA
of trying
to lose weight fills you with dread,
think of this number: 100.
If you cut just 100 calories from
your daily diet, you’ll lose roughly
10 pounds in a year—without a big
effort on your part. An added bonus:
The small changes you make will
likely be easy to stick with over time,
which will help you lose even more
weight.
So how do you cut 100 calories?
Here are 10 ideas. Sounds pretty do-
able, don’t you think?
Order your favorite coffee drink with
fat-free milk and sugar-free syrup.
Enjoy slow-churned, reduced-calorie
ice cream instead of regular ice cream.
Have a diet soda
instead of a regular one.
