A small spoonful (5mL) of most cooking oils has more
than 40 calories. So, use only a few drops while cooking.
Change your nonstick pans once
the coating wears off. The expense is worth the calories saved.
All the foods that you eat fried
can be eaten grilled, roasted, or steamed. This means oil-free cooking and
considerable calories saved.
Instead of having fruit
juice at breakfast, have fruits. While an average orange has about 60 calories,
a glass (250mL) of orange juice has more than 100 calories.
Soft drinks are an easy
route through which calories sneak into your body. Avoid these sugary drinks
and have more water instead.
Fruit smoothies, flavored
ice candies, flavored yogurt are all relatively low calorie options. An
appealing bowl of chilled mixed fruits can also help take your mind off the
ice-cream.
Low fat milk and yogurt
has about half the calories as its full fat version. Instead of avoiding dairy
altogether switch to the low fat variety.
Make it a habit to put
your food on a plate or bowl before you eat it. This means not eating handfuls
directly from the bag.
Eat at home before
stepping out or carry a homemade snack in your bag. Eat out only when you are
eating-out.
Calorie cutting should be
a slow and steady effort rather than the launch of a sudden war against food.
Try to reduce and change your eating habits over a couple of weeks and not
overnight.
