A little here, a little there. Cutting calories is easier than you think!
Think small! Trimming even just a small percentage of your body weight can do wonders for your health.
And eating just a bit less is the way to do it. Shaving calories here and there is easier than you think.
All it takes are a few no-sweat efforts like the ones that follow. Pick two a day and you’ll cut 100 calories. Burn 100 more calories a day (a 15- to 20-minute walk will do the trick) and you’ll lose almost half a pound a week. That may not sound like much, but it adds up to 20 pounds a year!
