Ten Ways To Lose Ten Pounds

Look at how many ways you can cut 100 calories from your diet daily. One hundred less calories means 10 pounds less per year. The more you add to your daily activities the more you will lose over time. It is better to lose weight slowly than quickly. Usually weight lost quickly will be gained back in short time.
1. If you eat a big, healthy breakfast each morning you are less apt to binge or have those mid-morning or early afternoon snack attacks.

2. Bring your own lunch each day and you will be less apt to eat fast food or more caloric foods. This can also give you time to yourself and to relax before going back to work.

3. Get in the habit of wearing a pedometer. 2,000 to 2,500 steps each day will cut 100 calories. The Ozeri 4x3razor and Omron HJ325 Alvita Ultimate are two top rated pedometers.

4. Eat more fiber and add a vegetable to every meal. You can find good fiber in vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains. This is good for preventing constipation and is a help in lowering your risk of heart disease or diabetese.

5. Taking your dog for a walk for 15 minutes three times a day will add 6,000 steps and burn 100 calories each time. For a person of average weight and fitness they can burn about 100 calories a mile.

6. Walking 25 minutes on a stationery bike burns 100 calories. Riding a mountain bike for a half an hour can burn about 250 calories.

7. Using Pam spray vegetable oil instead of butter or margarine means 100 calories less a tablespoon. Or use a corn oil and brush it on the pan.

8. Exercise before eating out. This gives you a metabolic lift and also makes you feel healthier and less apt to make bad choices.

9. Better sleep habits will help you stop the late night snacking and wake up bright and ready for a more active and healthy day.

10. Don’t forget to reward yourself once a week. Having an indulgence once in awhile will help to boost your morale and keep you going.
