Spring break is right around the corner and that means that some of us will be escaping the winter cold and getting into the sun and a swimsuit. There is no magic formula to losing weight. Burning extra calories through exercise and making responsible choices in what you eat is the what it takes to get rid of the extra pounds put on over the long winter months.
Often times it is the little things that we don’t pay attention to that can make all the difference in weight loss. With that in mind here are some tips to help you along the way:
No extras. When eating out adding a roll, cookie, or bag or chips to your order doesn’t only cost more money it adds more calories. These costly extras could be adding anywhere from 250 - 450 calories to your meal.
Get skinny. When ordering your morning coffee make sure to ask for it “skinny” or with skim milk. While this only saves about 60 calories, think of it as five less minutes on the treadmill. Skinny versions of drinks also use sugar-free syrup.
Eat fresh. When eating desserts go for fruit. Fruits are carbs but they are very low calorie and are great for you. Weight Watchers recently equated eating a whole barrel of apples with eating one slice of apple pie. At Freeziac we offer a number of different fresh fruits as toppings for our low calorie frozen yogurt making us smart choice for dessert.
