With overeating on the rise throughout the world, and so many discrepancies as to which “diet” will provide optimal weight loss, we will share sure-fire tips to cut calories. The tips are courtesy of Ace’s January 2018 Fitness Journal:
We’re often on-the-go more than we’d like to be. Fast food is a convenient, easy option, but often an unhealthy one. Make the right choices when grabbing food on-the-go with these tips:
- Portion sizes from fast food restaurants may be larger than you need. Pay attention and stop eating when you feel comfortable and satiated, not when you feel full.
- Order small sizes of anything you’re ordering, and opt for water, seltzer, or unsweetened iced green tea. Skip the extra calories in any other beverages.
- Avoid any menu item with the words “double,” “triple,” “supersize,” “biggie,” etc.
- Be cognizant of the fact that no-fat or low-fat foods still have a decent amount of calories in them.
- When asked if you want French fries, a side salad, bread or fruit, opt for the side salad or fruit.
