i found an interesting article on CNN here that talked about small steps that can help you lose a lot of weight.
i read somewhere, i can’t remember, “if you have no time for exercise when you are young, then make sure you have time for sickness when you are older.”
1. Old: whole milk
New: 1 percent milk
Let’s say you have milk with your cereal and then a glass of milk some other time during the day. Drinking 1 percent milk instead of whole milk saves you 100 calories.
2. Old: whole bagel
New: half a bagel
Give the other half of your bagel to a friend, and you’ll save 100 calories. Depending on the size of the bagel, you could save even more.
3. Old: chocolate ice cream
New: chocolate yogurt or a Popsicle
Swap out the ice cream for the yogurt, and you’re consuming 100 fewer calories. You’ll save nearly that much if you have a Popsicle instead of the ice cream.
4. Old: latte made with whole milk
New: latte made with skim milk
Order a nonfat latte instead of a regular latte, and you’ll save 90 calories.
5. Old: be a couch potato
New: take a 20-minute walk
Thankx. I will definitely try these steps out — replacing the old ones by them. Jazaaka Allahu Khayran for sharing this beneficial info.
Nice! I’ll try all maybe except for the chocolate ice cream because desserts are meant to be enjoyed – my philosophy is either have a good dessert or none whatsoever
