Weight loss pan made simple by cutting calories
Ready to lose weight? Then it is best to know something about
calories and how counting calories, in order to
lower them, lowers your weight. One pound of fat equals
3500 calories. Want to lose a pound a week? Then you need to
consume 3500 calories less per week than you use. Working with
calories this way, makes it a simple weight loss plan.
That would equal cutting out about 500 calories a day from
your normal daily diet. While keeping your activity level
the same, you can lose approximately one pound a week this
way.
This gives you an idea of counting calories in a way to have
weight loss at a rate that you will likely keep off while learning
a better way to eat.
Ideas to use in your weight loss plan:
So how much exactly IS 500 calories? If you're going to reduce
your daily intake by 500 calories, it helps to know what you
need to cut out, right? Here's how easy it is to lose 500 calories
a day:
* Pass by the bag of potato chips. An average snack size bag
of chips has over 300 calories. Savings? 300 calories.
* Eat your corn on the ear. A 1 cup serving of canned corn has
165 calories. An ear of corn has 85. Savings? 80 calories.
* Use milk instead of cream in your coffee. Savings? 50 calories
per cup. Cut back on your coffee and you cut back on the milk
as well.
* Drink fruit-flavored water instead of a 16 ounce soda. Savings?
200 calories. Better yet, for weight loss drink plain water instead
of other drinks.
* Skip the butter on your baked potato. Savings? 100 calories.
Cut back on the potatoes. Eat more green leafy vegetables.
* Switch to low-fat cream cheese on your bagel. Savings? 90 calories
per ounce.
* Love those fries and can't give them up? Swap the skinny fries
out for thick steak-cut ones. Thin French fries absorb more oil
than the thicker, meatier ones. Savings? 50 calories per 4 ounce
serving. Again, cut back to make fries a treat instead of a regular
thing.
This way you will begin to create a better eating habit, while
counting calories to cutting out around 500 calories a day. It
is a simple weight loss plan that pays off big time.
