Monday: Skip the Grande Vanilla Latte.
There's more than just a sugary jolt of caffeine to beat the Monday blues. Substitute with a brewed black coffee (without the sugar!) and save 250 calories (1,750 per week).
Tuesday: Spritz your salad.
Salads can be false friends: they seem healthy but become a caloric nightmare when loaded with dressing. Invest in an oil spritzer or try Hellman's salad spritzers and save 100 calories (700 per week).
Wednesday: Say no to mayo.
A sandwich is the easiest lunch to whip together, but gets weighed down with the fatty white spread. Replace with mustard – all the zip with zero fat. Save 100 calories (700 per week).
Thursday: Ditch the fat.
Stir-fry veggies with broth instead of oil (or even better, steam them) and save 115 calories (805 per week).
Friday: Add sparkle to your happy hour.
Don't let diets cramp your social style. Have a vodka soda with a splash of cranberry juice in lieu of your cosmo and save 90 calories (for two drinks).
Saturday: Walk your errands.
Slip walking into your busy schedule by breaking it down into 20-minute chunks. Walk to the market, take a stroll with your best gal pal or walk the dog. Burn 180 calories per hour (1,260 per week).
Sunday: Have a leaner brunch.
Try poached eggs instead of fried or scrambled and save 50 calories. Cut out another 60 cals by swapping your regular bacon with turkey bacon.
Note:
100 calories saved per day = lose about 1 pound a month
200 calories saved per day = lose about 2 pounds
500 calories saved per day = lose about 4 pounds
Control Your Portions.
Take one serving, and not a gigantic one! You can save serious calories by controlling your urge to go back for seconds or thirds.
