We have been told that 3500 calories equals a pound, which can sound like a lot. However, the truth is, there are so many empty calories in many of the foods we eat, achieving this 3500 goal can happen faster than you think. By simply reducing our intake of food by 100 calories a day, without changing anything else in our routine, we can achieve a one pound weight loss in a short five weeks. But how do you cut a simple 100 calories a day?
If you are unaware of how many calories are in certain foods, reading labels can help you determine where to make cuts. Often, it can be as simple as drinking half a soda instead of the full bottle, or reducing or eliminating mayonnaise and other types of condiments. Often, simply skipping that second helping at dinnertime can save you 100 calories or even more.
