Did you know that by making one small change over time, there can be big results?  You can apply this rule to weight loss.  I know, I do it all the time.  I’ve suggested this to many of my clients, and they’ve seen results, too.
<\/a>
Here’s a big one:  stop drinking sodas for a month, and you can lose 1-2 pounds.  If you drink one or more a day, you could save lots and lots of calories in a month’s time.  Substitute seltzer or club soda with a squeeze of lemon or lime.<\/p>\n

Another: if you have an afternoon cookie, candy bar or cake to get you through that 4 o’clock lull, having an apple, banana or some grapes instead over a month’s time may also help you lose a few pounds.<\/p>\n

A late night “snack” of a couple of frozen burritos, or sandwich may also be causing you to gain, or not lose weight.  That’s like a whole other meal.<\/p>\n

All it takes is an elimination of 1,500 calories to equal one lost pound.  So, on a purely caloric level, not having 1,500 calories a day will theoretically cause a seven pound weight loss.  Of course, real life is not so linear as a calorie equation!<\/p>\n

Just keep it in mind, though, and you may see some results by just making a few small changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
