Skip 100 Calories Today, Lose 10 Pounds This Year

You can lose ten pounds this year without lifting a weight, going on a diet, and lacing up your running shoes. In fact, it’s what you DON’T do that will get rid of those ten pounds. Just DON’T eat those extra 100 calories a day.

100 calories is easy to find; we will see it later. Here’s why it works:
By giving up 100 calories a day, you’re eating 36,500 fewer calories a year.

(100 calories a day x 365 days in a year = 36,500 calories). It takes a decrease of 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat. A decrease of 35,000 adds 10 pounds of fat… 10 pounds of excess fat off your body!

According to the American Heart Association, in 2005 there were 140 million overweight or obese people in the United States. 72 million of them were men, 68 million women. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25+. Obesity is a BMI of 30+. Overweight and Obesity — Statistics.

Just think how well you can do if you also add exercise. If you burn 100 calories a day through exercise and skip another 100 from lunch, that’s 200 calories a day. That, in turn, will equate to twenty pounds of fat removed from your body this year! Burning 100 calories with exercise is easy: (at a casual pace, for a 150-pound person) Ride a bike for 10 minutes, jog for 12 minutes, play tennis for 15 minutes, walk for 30 minutes.
