It is enough to reduce your calorie intake by only 100 to lose five kilograms in a year without any effort, exercise or diet, and the best of all is that you will consume 100 fewer calories with more than simple habits.
Cut out sugary and carbonated drinks
Instead of purchased fruit and carbonated juices, drink freshly squeezed juices and water. Play with flavors, flavor water, make delicious shakes.
This is the first step towards reducing calorie intake. If you give up just one glass of orange juice in the morning, you will save 112 calories a day.
Replace pasta with healthier foods
Instead of standard pasta, serve spaghetti made from zucchini or pumpkin with your favorite sauce.
In this way, you will consume even 174 fewer calories for one meal.
Make squats and lunges an integral part of your training
The next time you go to the gym and do arm exercises, do some squats or lunges at the same time and you’ll burn 115 calories in just 15 minutes.
Run in the park
Whenever you have free time, take the kids or pets to a nearby park, bring a ball, frisbee or racquets and burn 120 calories in 30 minutes of fun.
Avoid snacks
Instead of cheese, chips and nuts, snack on fresh vegetables or whole-grain crackers on Sunday evenings with the TV and you’ll consume 100 fewer calories.
Discard the oil when preparing the cake
You will make your muffins, cakes and cookies less caloric if you replace the oil in the recipes with applesauce, of course the one that does not contain sugar.
If you can’t find applesauce in the store, make it by simply boiling an apple and making a puree out of it, as if you were making porridge for babies.
Don’t put cream in your coffee
Try to get used to drinking pure black coffee or adding only a little skim milk to it. Avoid using whipped cream or special cream for coffee, and that is enough to consume 110 fewer calories during the day.
It is very important that you eat more whole and less industrially processed foods this year, and this is also one of the ways to reduce your calorie intake.
