Such easy tips;can you imagine if americans only knew how easy it would be for this country to stop tipping the scales. By reducing your caloric intake by 48 calories each day over the course of a year, you could drop five pounds -- which shows that simple changes really do make a difference. Trading skim milk for whole each day would save 70 calories, which would produce a seven pound weight loss after one year. Choosing a sugar substitute in place of 1 tbsp of sugar would save 48 calories a day (think about how much you add to your coffee, tea, etc.) and could result in a five pound weight loss. Choosing a diet soda over a regular soda would save about 150 calories -- which would lead to the greatest weight loss, 15 total pounds. By using all three of the strategies above on a daily basis you could lose 27 pounds! And, the best part is, your tastebuds will never know the difference, just your waistline.
