Drop 10 lbs... Without Even Trying!

Provided by By Emilie Dingfeld

Monday: Skip the Grande Vanilla Latte

There's more than just a sugary jolt of caffeine to beat the Monday blues.

Substitute with a brewed black coffee (without the sugar!) and save 250 calories (1,750 per week).

Tuesday: Spritz your salad

Salads can be false friends: they seem healthy but become a caloric nightmare when loaded with dressing.

Invest in an oil spritzer or try Hellman's salad spritzers and save 100 calories (700 per week).

Wednesday: Say no to mayo

A sandwich is the easiest lunch to whip together, but gets weighed down with the fatty white spread.

Replace with mustard – all the zip with zero fat.

Save 100 calories (700 per week).

Thursday: Ditch the fat

Stir-fry veggies with broth instead of oil (or even better, steam them) and save 115 calories (805 per week).

Friday: Add sparkle to your happy hour

Don't let diets cramp your social style.

Have a vodka soda with a splash of cranberry juice, in lieu of your cosmo, and save 90 calories (for two drinks).

Saturday: Walk your errands

Slip walking into your busy schedule by breaking it down into 20-minute chunks.

Walk to the market, take a stroll with your best pal, or walk the dog.

Burn 180 calories per hour (1,260 per week).

Sunday: Have a leaner brunch

Try poached eggs instead of fried or scrambled, and save 50 calories.

Cut out another 60 cals by swapping your regular bacon with turkey bacon.

Note:
100 calories saved per day = lose about 1 pound/month
200 calories saved per day = lose about 2 pounds
500 calories saved per day = lose about 4 pounds
