Dropping a few pounds doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice all the foods you love, but making a few minor adjustments will help. Even cutting back 50 calories a day can make a difference and it doesn’t have to be difficult. Use these switching techniques to help you look your best this summer.
If you regularly have 2% milk in your latte, try switching to fat-free. You’ll be saving yourself 32 calories for every 8 fl. ounces. Do the same with all dairy products including yogurt and cheese.
Instead of having a blueberry muffin from your favorite coffee shop, equipped your self with a nutritious and lower calorie breakfast bar. The Luna Sunrise Blueberry Bliss bar is the perfect choice. They taste amazing, they’re healthy, and they’re only 170 calories compared to Starbucks’ 310 calorie reduced-fat blueberry coffee cake.
Choose lighter condiments on your sandwiches. If you normally have regular mayo on your sub, try using light mayo instead. Just by swapping out regular mayo for light mayo, you’re cutting back from 100 calories to 50 calories per tbs. You can cut back even more by using yellow mustard; it’s only 11 calories per tbs.
While grocery shopping take the time to compare the calories of several brands. I try to buy the loaf of whole grain bread with the least calories per slice or the salad dressing with fewer calories per tbs. Being a bit more conscious at the grocery store, can make cutting back on calories simple.
Cutting down on booze calories can be easy too. Instead of having a regular beer, opt for a light beer instead. I especially love the 99 calorie Heineken Lights . If you like margaritas try the skinny girl version; Patron Silver on the rocks with a splash of lime juice and a splash of triple sec. You get the taste of a margarita with out loads of sugar. Another great low-cal cocktail is to have vodka with club soda and just a splash of your favorite fruit juice.
