Simple Steps to Lose Ten Pounds Safely & Quickly
If you don’t want to lose ten pounds yourself, I am sure you know someone who does. A lot of times though, the last ten are the hardest to lose. Maybe you don’t want to put forth the effort. Exercise may not be high on your favorites list. Or maybe it is but it just isn’t denting that last bit of weight. If you try these simple steps, you can lose ten pounds in five weeks.
One simple tip to helping you cut back calories is to skip the salad dressing on your salad. On average, a typical salad has five tablespoons of salad dressing, and each tablespoon usually contains about 80 calories. That is 400 calories per salad. If you skip the salad dressing altogether, and add vinegar or lemon juice or something similar, you will cut 400 calories out of your daily consumption. For those of you who eat a salad every day, this adds up!
Another simple tip to help cut down on calories is to exchange your full fat milk with skim milk. If you drink more than one cup of milk a day, try trading just one cup of whole milk for skim milk. If you don’t drink a cup of milk, you probably use whole milk in your coffee, cereal, and so on. Be sure to exchange the whole milk for skim milk. One cup of wholemilk has 150 calories, while one cup of skim milk has 80 calories. So if you switch out your full-fat milk for skim milk, you will trim off seventy calories a day.
Do you eat sandwiches (of course! – who doesn’t?)? Try eating your sandwiches open-face style – and use only one piece of bread. This nifty (and yummy!) trick will save approximately eighty calories for each sandwich, which could be a hefty 500+ calories per week if you brown bag it every day…
Most of us drink beverages that have about 250 calories in each serving. A can of soda typically has 250 calories, and even vitamin water has about 150. If you can just cut out 250 calories of liquid a day, by the end of one week, you will have cut out 1750 calories.
On top of the four tips we have discussed, you can also do something else to help you on your path to lose ten pounds – eat less! Eat slower, allowing yourself to feel when you are getting full. Research has shown this can help you cut out a full sixty for each meal you do this with. Do it for all three meals during the day, and that is 180 calories per day, or over 1200 calories per week!
In five weeks, you can lose ten pounds if you follow those straightforward strategies : skip over the salad dressing on your salads, trade your whole milk for skim milk, lose the top piece of bread in your sandwiches, cut out your liquid calories like soda and vitamin water, and eat slower. By following these easy steps, you can lose the last bit of weight without working out or drastically changing your food habits.
