10 Simple Ways to Cut Calories

Can you really lose weight just by cutting calories? Yes, you can, and simply by learning how many calories your body actually needs a day you can begin to take on the calorie-cutting challenge. If you've been struggling with ways to reduce your caloric intake to lose weight, here are some simple ways to cut daily calories.

1. Cut out 1 soda per day and drink water with lemon instead. (150 calories cut)

2. Have a healthy sandwich wrap ask for it with mustard instead of mayonnaise, ketchup, or any other "sauce". (100+ calories cut)

3. Choose a rotisserie chicken for lunch or dinner take the skin off. (100+ calories cut) Bake, broil, grill, poach or saute foods instead of deep-frying.

4. Enjoy salads with a low calorie dressing. (120+ calories cut) Researchers show a recent study that 33 women eat a variation on the same garden salad 20 minutes before a main pasta course. When the salads were topped with low-fat mozzarella and low-calorie Italian dressing instead of high-fat alternatives, the women ate 10 percent fewer calories over the course of the day.

5. Buy low-fat dairy, such as milk, sour cream, yogurt and cheese. (100+ calories cut) Low-fat buttermilk works great as a substitute for whole milk in any recipe. Nonfat evaporated milk works famously in dishes calling for cream, like sauces, pies, ice cream and, of course, in tea and coffee. Don't confuse "evaporated" with "condensed" milk, which is heavily sweetened with sugar.

6. Skip 1 glass of wine or beer with dinner. (120 calories cut)

7. Ask for sandwiches to be made without cheese. (150-200 calories cut)

8. Skip morning 8-12 oz glass of juice and have a piece of whole fruit and water instead or just water or tea with your breakfast. (100+ calories cut)

9. Walk and talk. (100+ calories cut) The next time a call on your cell phone keeps you yakking for a while, slip on your walking shoes, and stroll the halls at work or hoof it outside. If you did this for 10 minutes every workday at a moderate 3 mph pace, you'd burn about 1,000 calories a month and lose 3 pounds a year.

10. Sleep well, lose more. (100+ calories cut) sleep loss may hinder your efforts to lose extra pounds. Insufficient shut-eye appears to increase production of the stress hormone cortisol, which regulates appetite. High levels seem to worsen bingeing and hunger; moreover, too little sleep could keep your body from burning carbohydrates, which translates to more stored body fat.
