Calories - 78 Ways to Cut Them
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
The new issue of "Women's Health" magazine just hit stands and it's full of simple ways to help you lose weight. Calories can sneak up on you when you're not looking, so it's best to make wise choices whenever you can. The magazine lists 78 ways to cut 100 calories by making small changes, and I'm going to list my favorite eight here.
- Swap OJ for the real deal -- one fresh orange.
- Take your iced tea unsweetened.
- Use south-of-the-border savvy: Have a quesadilla made with two 6-inch corn, not flour, tortillas.
- Drizzle extra hot sauce, not blue cheese or ranch dressing, on your wings.
- Ordering a cocktail? Make it on the rocks instead of frozen. Slushy fruit drinks tend to be made with bottled mixers that contain added sugar and syrups.
- Drain the heavy syrup from your can of fruit cocktail and then rinse the fruit with water before digging in.
- Use broth when preparing packaged foods that call for butter or oil, like rice and stuffing.
- Go for grill marks. Order a flame-broiled chicken sandwich rather than one that's breaded (and usually fried in oil).
