What’s holding you back from losing those extra pounds? I want to show you how making a few simple dietary changes can create big results on the scale. Most of us have a few bad habits such as alcohol, chocolate, cookies, ice cream, ect. These items can add a tremendous amount of calories to your diet. The following list will show you the amount of weight you would lose by eliminating some of those temptations over a 1 year period.

Food or Beverage and How Often it is Consumed -Calories -Pounds Lost Per Year by Eliminating Food or Beverage:

1-12 oz. beer each day
150 calories
15 pounds

1 Big Mac each week
560 calories
9 pounds

1 20 oz. cola per day

The above list shows just a few of the examples that could be displayed. Perhaps the table doesn’t show your temptations; nonetheless you can certainly see how eliminating high calorie habits can create dramatic results in fat loss. Further, I am not suggesting that you necessarily completely eliminate these items from your diet. Simply cutting back will still achieve results. For example, you may want to cut you daily habits to weekly habits and your weekly habits to monthly habits. I hope these strategies help you achieve your weight loss goals!
