The Skinny on Weight Gain

The average American gains about 2 pounds a year. This translates to a little more than 100 excess calories each week.

Adjusting the calorie imbalance

100 Less 'Calories In'
-Eat fresh fruit instead of juice or dried fruit
-Put mustard instead of mayo on a sandwich
-Order your coffee 'skinny'-with skim milk instead of cream
-Drink club soda with lime instead of regular soda
-Eat tuna packed in water instead of oil

100 More 'Calories Out'
-Go to your co-workers desk instead of sending an email
-Go for a 15 minute walk on you lunch break
-Get off the subway or bus a stop earlier and walk the extra distance
-Take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator

Apply these tips to save 100 calories each day and after 6 months, the result is a 5 pound weight loss and 10 pounds after 1 year!
