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.

-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

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!
