5 Things Dietitians Wish You Knew About Losing Weight - Part 2

It May Sound Boring, but Small Changes Really Make a Big Difference

Whether it’s skipping that extra cookie or nixing the sugar in your daily coffee, seemingly small changes on a daily basis can add up to a big change in your weight. Since a five hundred calorie deficit each day leads to about a 1 pound loss each week, even a few changes can have a slimming effect. You’ll find five hundred calories in items such as 2 doughnuts, a bagel with cream cheese, 2.5 ounces of potato chips, or a chocolate mocha latte. Pretty simple, right?

Comment:  This actually works.  I quit drinking sweet tea and now drink nothing but water.  It did allow me to lose a couple of pounds.  But, you can’t stop at just one change.  You have to keep eliminating items.
