I hear from many women who are looking to tone up a bit or to drop that "final 5" pounds. I prefer not to focus on weight but I also want to show you practical ways to help you reach your goal! So, in order to drop those stubborn final pounds, you would need to eat about 500 calories less in a day which is equivalent to 3500 calories in a week. (3500 calories = 1 pound of fat) You can increase your activity which will help the calorie burn too! Here are 6 ways that you can drop 500 calories in one day. Chances are you encounter one if not many of these areas in which to improve.
♥♥♥
{Breakfast}
Cut the creamer or decrease the amount you put in your coffee.
♦ 50 calorie deficit
{Lunch}
Switch to a sandwich thin or wrap instead of using 2 slices of bread.
♦ 100 calorie deficit
{Afternoon Drink}
Cut out the regular soda, sweetened tea or juice. Opt for water, sparkling water or unsweetened tea.
♦ 90-150 calorie deficit
{Dinner}
Drop the dips, sauces and dressings. If you need a salad dressing, make your own.
♦ 60-120 calorie deficit
{Evening Snack}
Don't have one! Eat dinner at a reasonable time and go to bed when the belly rumbles!
♦ 100-150 calorie deficit
{All day long}
Stop eating off your kid's plate!! Just because it's bite sized and left-over doesn't mean it needs to go into your mouth!
♦ 35-150 calorie deficit
Yes! Little things add up, especially when you are on a mission for that final bit of weight loss! Stay focused and you'll get the results you want!
