One Calorie at a Time
In the weight-loss game, every little bit helps...cutting a calorie here or a calorie there can all add up to help meet your goals. Here's some ideas to get you started.
Stop the e-mails. Instead of clicking send to communicate with co-workers, mosey on over to their desk. Studies show choosing to shoot an e-mail rather than leave your chair can contribute to yearly weight gain.
Have a laugh. Not only have Vanderbilt researchers shown that daily laughter burns calories, your chuckles have additional health benefits as well.
Tweak your morning coffee. Nix the whipped cream, go for skim milk, or opt for sugar-free versions of your favorite syrup add-ins.
Step it up. Get a pedometer and challenge yourself to beat your numbers from the days before. All those extra steps burn calories you wouldn't have burned otherwise.
