but strict diets are hard to stick to. Registered dietitian Julie Upton has 10 painless steps to lose 10 pounds this year:
• Take three bites less of everything. This will typically shave off 100 calories.
• Go ahead and order the pizza, but cut out the cheese and meat toppings and choose extra sauce and veggies instead.
• Watch less television. Previous research has shown that people who watch more than two hours of TV a day tend to be overweight.
• Instead of oil or butter, use nonstick sprays and pans.
• When you go to parties, do this simple trick: Don't look at the buffet table. What you don't see won't tempt you.
• When you're making homemade goodies, cut the sugar in the recipe by one-third. You'll never even notice the difference.
• Hungry? Eat fruit instead of candy. Do this once a day and you'll save a whopping 100 calories.
• Thirsty? Drink from a tall, thin glass instead of a short, squat one. It will seem like you're drinking more.
• When possible, stand instead of sitting. Fifty minutes of standing actually burns up 100 calories!
• Cut your portion size the easy way: Use smaller plates and bowls.
